If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Again what have they done to cultivate any of the good will you showed them (wrongly)?

Not jumping to conclusions isn't goodwill, this is gaslighting, please loving stop.

And on their previous announcement they said they were renegotiating their contracts to make it so they could cancel for issues like this. That strongly implies they would have done more if they could, and regret some of their current agreement. But seriously gently caress off with saying I support them for not jumping to immediately assuming something.

3d Realms strategy their entire history has been pushing buttons just enough to get attention.

I'm sorry if my cynicism with regards to the actions of a corporation made you upset. That wasn't my intention. I'm not nor am I trying to gaslight you and if that's the way it came across I'll take responsibility for posting poorly.

You snidely calling me toxic and quoting one sentence out of a more detailed post, where I straight up start to give 3DR the benefit of the doubt (before seeing the Polygon piece) and say that we can get more facts and decide about 3DR at some other time because it's not like we have to not buy multiple games (and that anyone from where I'm standing with good sense isn't buying Ion Storm) from them is lovely too.

Your cynicism was fine, just as my optimism was fine. The problem was you highlighting how I (wrongly) supported them, when I didn't even support them at all.

"You're with us or against us" is extremely toxic

Especially when that optimism is completely misplaced because the publisher made it clear they are backing the hate speech in Ion Fury after thinking about it for a weekend.

Steam reviews are pretty helpful in a diagnostic sense, like if the critical consensus is highly positive and the Steam reviews are crap then it's probably because the PC port has something wrong with it.

This is why I bought Ys VIII recently on PS4 instead of PC, lots of steam reviews said it can be real buggy.

I watched the GB Quick Look for Control and I'm actually a lot more sold on that game now, the combat seems serviceable and wandering around a giant paranormal government building gone all hosed up seems right up my alley. Also, it's got FMV

There's a bunch of conflicting reports about what's going on with Ion Fury, this is the best rundown I've found. It looks like the only thing different today vs. previous announcements is that they're not going to remove Ogay, which like great win for the review bombers lmao.

I am about 99% sure that the bear on the bed is the exact bear I had as a kid (and still have in a box somewhere). Can't confirm though because he's behind a dang blanket and I can't see if there's a bowtie or not. :mad:

True, I should have thought more about it. I guess there really is no algorithmic solution for thousands of people deciding to be assholes in the same place.

ALl it would take is for one human being to look at it and say "this is spiteful" but valve doesn't like moderating anything without a computer

Update: 3D Realms tells Polygon that Voidpoint will honor part of the original statement by making the donation and pursuing sensitivity training. A representative said:

"However, the soap bottle will not be removed.

The use of the word “f*gbag” in an area that was inaccessible without hacking the game, and was added by one developer without approval from anyone else, was removed a few days ago. We once again apologize for this text as it does not reflect the values of 3D Realms or Voidpoint.

Jokes at the expense of marginalized communities will not be present in future games published by 3D Realms. However, a portion of our community made it loud and clear they felt removing ‘Ogay’ was censorship and should be protected by free speech. Voidpoint wanted to listen and we respected this decision."
