I mean how hard is it to just get a new social media guy, it’s a buyer’s market. An unpaid intern would do a better job than this clown

pyrotek posted:Anybody interested in the books: the trade paperback versions of the books are all part of Barnes and Noble's 3 for $30 promotion, which works for more than just three books. It also stacks with the $10 off $60 YAYFALL, so you can get all 7 books for $60 plus tax. That is as good of a deal on them as I've seen, and the books are well worth reading. Anyone even remotely interested in the world of the Witcher needs to read these books. For me, the perfect setup is to read the 7(+1) books and then go right into Witcher 1. As a continuous story revolving around Geralt, Ciri, etc, it's a pretty great narrative.

chaosapiant posted:I think ultimately it's a really minor stupid thing that happens to have majorly understandable blow back and could have been avoided and should now be resolved by firing the guy responsible, or at least a public statement or something. I refuse to believe CDPR is a company of Nazis because some dumbass with internet access was given too much leeway, but until they deal with it they deserve every bit of blowback. I mean, not from me of course, i'll buy everything they put out. But still, I get it. yeah. i feel like if there were more nazi chud types there, we would have seen alot more hosed up poo poo in the games and on twitter. the worst thing they are guilty of is not having the fortitude to sack this dipshit after 3 gently caress ups.

Thronebreaker is DRM free so it is going to be pretty easy to play it without giving CDPR any money.

I for the life of me can’t figure out why CDPR doesn’t just fire the guy. Even from a self interest standpoint it makes sense. Not only have the tweets been grossly offensive and insensitive, but it’s generating bad publicity and runs the risk of causing good talent to leave or not join the company.

Ok, that took some googling, but it looks like "history of transphobia" stands for "Tweeted "Did you just assume their gender?!" once", and "politics in general" probably for "Tweeted a screenshot from Postal 2 on GOG account". Literally a heinous twitter war criminal, eating babies for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:It was called Cyberpunk 2020 and poo poo like this tweet makes me goddamned furious. I checked and the game I was referring to was Burn:Cycle for the CDi. That doesn't preclude it also being available in the Cyberpunk 2020 P&P game, though. I personally think anyone not comfortable with trans people has no business in cyberpunk, and by trans I mean transhuman and consider a mere sex change to be practically routine procedure, strictly for plebs who have yet to migrate their minds into an infinitely malleable swarm of programmable strange matter. Those who worry about how biology interacts with identity will never fly through the stars free of the tyranny of nuclear matter  e: how gender transition is discussed in proper cyberpunk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAPDFwHjUf8&t=64s Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Oct 23, 2018 |

Even assuming it's really transphobia and not just plain old tone-deafness on that dude's part it's still not a big deal - the tweets didn't directly insult, threaten or call to violence or discrimination in any way. So no violation of laws or even twitter platform rules happened, reacting to something this minor is probably not worth any effort, not even as small as this forum shitposting I'm doing.

Even if it isn't outright attacking transgendered people the language has a normalizing effect which makes actual hate attacks more likely to happen.

A company with international target audience owning themselves in PR while using...one of the official PR tools is beyond incompetent eyerolling. Like, I could maybe understand defending them if somebody dug something up from 10 years ago and made a stink about it or whatever but these guys run a big business and then their PR people dive tonedeaf and unprompted into the shittiest controversies on twitter and they face twitter consequences. Things get officially straightened out and then they happen again because the twitter person is still the same and these accidental fuckups start looking like no coincidences. How many times does this have to repeat to actually stick to CDPR itself? I don't think this represents the company culture but they exist internationally and obviously care about their sales, they're carefully choosing what they're showing in the media and what they're talking about in interviews and then bam, another twitter situation out of control. Just lol at this happening right before the release a Thronebreaker.

I, too, was gonna buy all their games but now it turns out all games on GOG are transphobic. Let's all agree with each other for another 20 pages about this, so this thread can become as good as the Cyberpunk one.

Omnicarus posted:Seriously though, Triss or Yen or Shani? Shani has all of the advantages of Triss (red hair) without any of the drawbacks, so there's a clear ordering there. If I were Geralt I'd go for Shani. But Geralt is a guy who prefers women to kick his rear end from time to time, so Yen is the only choice. Kinda feel like Lambert make off better than Geralt, though.
