Goons are writing to Gabe to take it down, and their misery is the only reason I care.

Hey, someone was upset about it enough to buy me the Avatar. Can't say SA goons don't care. Can't say who the someone is, because I don't know, nor do I need to.

Please stop buying products from China; you're supporting a totalitarian communist regime that is responsible for the death of at least 60 million people.

Thank you.

I think it's a safe bet that this game is going to really suck no matter which brown people with funny hats they hate.

i am making a game called Loveable. you play a dude who gets on really well with everyone. all adult people, goes on really good dates and gets kisses and hugs. he also donates to charity, and fixes problems in the world with discussions.

i think we all need to cut back on negativity in this life and world and we could all stand to be friends

Violence was inflicted upon my virtual image because of this game. Why does anyone give a gently caress about nazi's? Seems like it's just an intellectually vacuous vehicle for otherization. This thing i don't like was made by pedos/nazis/furries/rednecks/blacks/mexicans/swedes/jews/The Other. We get it, you don't like it, so what?

is it as bad as it sounds

Eye of Widesauron posted:

It's a good thread for a certain purpose but bad if someone genuinely wants to get information on this game. I feel bad for those people quite often in various threads.

Look at this rear end in a top hat, to make this article he probably had to kill countless imaginary civilians in a video game for NO REASON than because he found it FUNNY!

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS HE KILLED IN REAL LIFE?!

I'm glad the crazy people of both sides from the really lovely and bad GG thread populated by insane people are here personally.

Karpaw posted:

You know all this drama sent the game to #1 on Greenlight, right? The devs counted on it for PR but it worked better than they ever hoped for, due to their detractors playing into their hands every step of the way and some fortuitous timing with Gamergate (which they weren't even aware of).

The Nazi party, flush with profits from the steam green light game, purchased several crates of AK47's from a swarthy Bosnian and is now on a rampage across the Rhine

Simsmagic posted:

what is my motivation in this game? what has the world done to wrong me to the point where I'm willing to go out and commit mass genocide? why is my name not important? I need to know the backstory if I'm to be immersed in my mass murder simulator.

It's very important.

In a way I'm kind of glad that the shrieking voices who find video games "problematic" are discrediting their 'movement,' on the other-hand I'm upset that many of them are making money off of their shrieking. Hopefully their gravy train runs out soon.

I guess the video was too wacky for you? I didn't make it, I just found it an accurate characterization of all video game critiques.

How do goons feel knowing they have become the modern equivalent of the perpetually afraid and offended christian far-right of the 70's and 80's?

Is everyone still cool with demonic sigils or is that poo poo problematic now?

Because Sword of Wisdom is the second expansion to Diablo 3 and I don't want people clogging up my chat of having to put down possessed people who puke on them as an attack as some moral outrage.

yeah, even long before gg hit Polygon was already notorious for a tendency to post really whiny articles that had less to do about playing games than what the games do to society. i guess there's a niche for that, but they didn't even bill it like that on the site from what i could tell. it seems to me like that is a big enough break from the norm that they should have embraced it and branded around it, but my guess is they wanted to keep a mainstream audience while providing niche content.

so the result was predictable, people got repeatedly blindsided by what Polygon was putting out and got more and more upset about it

most would, but they would accumulate and the mentally ill will keep coming back anyway, and eventually you have a whole lynch mob of angry idiots with a few insane people to spur them on

thus, internet activism
