Dapper_Swindler posted:they should just fire the rear end in a top hat in charge of the twitter and apologize. i like their games a ton and unlike vara and other devs, i don't think they are evil conservative chud monsters, because i have seen good progressive themes/elements in their games despite their rocky areas. i know places like resetera is already talking about banning any discussion of CDPR games and that kinda makes me sad that a bunch of people get poo poo on because of one rear end in a top hat. I hear you, and it's tempting to brush it off as "well it's just their social media person who sucks" but they clearly haven't done anything about them, or if they have, they've replaced them with someone who also sucks, so at a certain point they gotta own it. That said.......I'm still going to buy cyberpunk and thronebreaker so I guess I'm a piece of poo poo too in the end

ImpAtom posted:The fact this keeps happening and they don't issue any sort of apology makes it hard to really excuse it. At absolute best it looks like they're using people's real-world suffering to drum up controversy dollars and just deleting the tweet and pretending it didn't happen really doesn't mean poo poo. didn't they sorta issue one after the Cyberpunk tweet?

CDPR seem to learn from their gently caress ups. i mean look at witcher 1 and the gently caress cards.

Ah ok, I’ll stay away. Anywho, I’m super pumped about Thronebreaker. I’ve read this game takes place during the Nilfgaard invasion between W2 and 3. I don’t want to spoil a character I saw in a screenshot, but my guess is that depending on some choices you made in W2, Thronebreaker is going to have its own canon.

I think it's weird to impose western societal things on countries that may have an entirely different culture, esp ons that may or may not be p far behind in terms of progress on some things. However if you're running a twitter account, or any type of PR, really, that's seen internationally, then maybe some due dilligence is needed and it really wouldn't be that hard to take the 5 seconds to see if that hashtag has been used for something before and whether it's appropriate to use in the context they wanted. I don't think it's something worth #cancelling a company over, personally, but I also get why people might take issue with it. chesnok posted:European game developer PR guy is not up to date on latest US twatter mental bitch fit. on your first point: smoke a bowl and chill dude lol on your second: ya people should read the books e: also the wording of that gog tweet is p snarky at the end there so i would also not be surprised if they knew exactly what they were doing. someone probably needs to get fired

It's not a goddamn cultural thing; don't just blindly attach yourself to a hashtag without knowing what it's about. It's either a twitter dude who is absolute garbage at social media or someone who doesn't think the issue is a big deal. Either way, it is yet ANOTHER bad look for the company with stuff like this and the opportunity to hand wave these problems away came and went a while ago. Play the games all you want, but popping into the thread and going " is this really an issue???" makes you look like a bigger idiot.I'm honestly astonished after the last fiasco they didn't look over all their social media peeps, cause this is such a simple thing not to do.

I'm not overly familiar with the last PR hiccup CDPR/GOG had, but yeah it's a real bad look if they've had an offensive slip up before and didn't crack down on their public messaging in the interim. Social media may still be new in the grand scheme of things, but you'd think it's been around long enough now and we've seen enough companies say or do dumb poo poo that some of them would catch on and figure out a way to avoid this kind situation.

Are we really going to pretend that some English speaking PR guy in Europe came up with #WillNotBeErased completely independently and put it in a tortured sentence the day after it began being used? Pretty loving huge coincidence. Europe's not some magical kingdom that doesn't receive US news. Their job is literally to sit on twitter all day.

From what I've read, Poland is currently thriving in tech jobs and tends to have a highly educated population on the whole. It's kind of disappointing specifically in that cyberpunk tends to be a relatively trans-friendly genre. I remember reading about a cyberpunk game where you could get a sex change back in the 90s, even. I think it was called Burn Cycle?

Don't feel you have to do every single sidequest, it's better to keep up with the main quest. You also don't need to harvest every herb or sell every single sword you come across. If you find combat tedious I strongly recommend playing on easy with godmode switched on (there's a mod for it).

I get not wanting to deal with politics in games threads, but this sort of reaction to like a page of on-topic politics prompted by a political statement made by the publisher (or whatever relationship GoG has with CD Projekt) is just lazy threadshitting. Get over it, we'll be back to talking about which sorceress to gently caress in like a page.

It would have been easy to delete the tweet or reply to it with "Our SM Intern got confused by the language barrier, CDPR supports #TransRights" or whatever. This is Social Media 101 and if a ~company~ can't be inoffensive on the internet they are going to have a very hard time of it.  dreadmojo posted:Yeah you can legitimately think it's a storm in a teacup but when you have hired a guy as a teacup storm preventer then this might give cause to reconsider how well they're doing, idk Exactly, the dude's job is to generate positive press and interactions for his company.
