I see someone is using the cloud-to-butt browser extension!
So you think it's strange that I won't support someone who doesn't want me to get fair pay at my job? And makes a game about what happens ~if women win? Okay cool

Actually just learned about Ruiner coming from Devolver Digital, looks pretty good!
Again, I never said it's a "whatever" situation, that implies indifference. Which is pretty much the opposite of what I argued in posts.
I chose to post in the thread, so naturally, some people happen to respond to my posts. It's funny because a couple posts in response to my own are literally "about your buying habits and how that reflects on you." I didn't make it about that, that wasn't my standing. If anything you should be asking them that.

Raw Fury Games (The Publisher) has made a statement,

Same. What a bummer.
Let me help.
Oh I see. I checked the last 3 pages but didn't see anything. So he's a gamergate guy. Too bad, the game looks cool.

See, I can't accept their portrayal of him as someone who respected women when he was complaining about women using artificial uteri. Like, that's inherently an admission of how little respect you hold for women.
Massive Duck. C.M.

Talk about shoving politics down my throat. Fucking christ.Let me help.
That said I like the statement they put out. People can change a ton in 3 years. Others not so much. I feel conflicted.
For people wondering why the thread turned the way it did, know that for some of us his abhorrent views are just start of problem. I personally am able to separate person's personal views from their work of art. I do enjoy Mel Gibson's movies as well as Roman Polanski's.
But the main problem with this game is that it is very hard to separate person's views from the game itself. Specially when the inception of the idea is this...

Beyond any of his stupid personal politics, this makes the game sound dumb as fuck.
Yeah, you are going to have to do better than that mate. While you are at it, define "regressive ideas".He updated his twitter:
Hopefully he can explain himself somewhere that gives him more words to do so.
...And yet the writer is retweeting tweets about salt tonight.
How can they say this when the creator himself tweets about the very game they're publishing with the hashtag #gamergate? It's like he's saying one thing and they're saying another. How old was the above tweet? The screencap just says Sep 11. If that's from 2016 then the publisher statement is bs.
how is it a caricature of the guy when it's his exact words? the wording of the statements was poor, not the content of the statements themselves? he was duped into gamergate? like, jesus, fucking own up to it.

Most of the tweets are from 2014, but he has made tweets complaining about "identity politics" more recently. I could operate under the assumption that his regressive viewpoints were perhaps no longer, but hot damn, advocate for progression? Not according to that tweet lol.
It's baffling that they would link to that Idle Thumbs thread in defense of the idiot, since it's just him flailing around and playing victim while other users call him out for flailing around and playing victim. Like, if that's his best public look then holy shit.
The tweet was from 2014, at the height of Gamergate.
He hasn't tweeted about Gamergate specifically recently, but did jump in on the recent pile-on from the alt-right against Bill Nye when Bill Nye said gender was a spectrum, which suggests that his, and the publisher's, contention that he's changed since the tweets is bullshit.
I know, that's a... questionable decision on their part.
I don't really buy it. Best thing I can say right now is that's a good damage control statement from PR on a late sunday night.

Part of me wants to think that being culturally successful would soften this guy's victim complex, but on the other hand Palmer Luckey exists. Little desire to subsidize these behaviors.

Yeah, I want to give the game and developer the benefit of the doubt here but I am naturally inclined to be skeptical as fuck considering the timing.
love the art style and very much interested in the game as a whole.That's a lot of words for "he's a good mate, just take our word for it". I know they have to protect their investment in this, but I don't know who Raw Fury Games are. I do know the public record of Tim Soret's twitter account. Would mean more if it came from him and he sounded contrite. Instead this just feels like a PR fluff piece.
Taking the year out of tweet screenshots is incredibly misleading and isn't helping this discussion.
Anyway, I hope the stuff about his views changing over the years is true. I think having a game show progressive ideas leading to a dystopia isn't inherently bad, but if it's coming from a place of misogyny or hatred then I'm fine with just ignoring this game. There's lots of other stuff to play, lots of games that are already out and well liked that I can try out.
Overall, condemning a dude over comments made years ago isn't great. But it seems like there's some evidence he still has some problematic views, so I'm interested to hear what he has to say about that.

Just because today's blowup has made this dude walk on eggshells until release doesn't mean he's changed his act. We'll fucking see.
I hope the developer himself will say more but his publisher probably told him to STFU. If the game does turn out to have women-hating politics in it, I hope the backlash will be huge.

"I am so happy that people are talking about Milkshake duck! I have recently learned some new facts about Milkshake duck's past. I would like to address those now in a way that will hopefully make all of this go away
This is not the Milkshake Duck I know and even though I am now presented with new evidence that would suggest that there were things I didn't know about Milkshake Duck, I will still stand by my, previous, unsullied image of my webfooted friend. Also Milkshake duck was just being naive, but not as naive as I am being right now in my full throated support of a duck that will hopefully, make me money in the near future"
Is there an archive of that tweet? I went looking and couldn't find it.

Looks stunning, I've been waiting for a game with this aesthetic for a long time, can't wait to see more.
Yeah the repeated use of "naive" here killed me, given the "just trust us" nature of the piece.

The lead writer was literally posting IN THIS THREAD and could have told us how it was a different time for them and that he's evolved as a human being.
Instead he's retweeting bigots and fuckwits on twitter who are ratifying his position and denouncing anybody who's upset as being "salty'
So no I'm not inclined to believe a word out of their mouths at this ppoint.

They don't give a shit at all.
In fact, the boys at Raw Fury's offices are probably jumping for joy right now.
Have you taken a look at certain GamerGate-infested forums? They're all pledging their full support for the game now as I type this. A lot of them I see happen to be the Usual Suspects who've been brigading Random Access Memories for being an "SJW game" and YandereSimulator because of YD's infamy for expressing Wrongthink on /v/
They've successfully found a niche that will guarantee this game's success. Principles be damned. Honestly, this isn't just reflecting on the game IMO, but it's going to reflect on Raw Fury for me too. Microsoft/Xbox as well possibly if they don't do enough to distance themselves.
I'm aware you are already banned, but everyone that is part of GG has always been a rotten piece of human shit, that believed in conspiracy theories about "sleeping for a positive review", despite anyone with a motherfucking functioning brain being able to research and see the review in question didn't motherfucking exist.
Eh. They'll likely lose their contract or whatever they have with Microsoft now, so I doubt they're jumping for joy.
