No idea what Code Violet is so I googled it and this is the first result:

This is stupid if true, but this developer is the creator of this masterpiece: https://www.metacritic.com/game/quantum-error/
They aren't going to get attention by making good games, so perhaps they are now trying exclusivity. Here's the problem - people need to care. More people than the asshats he alleges in that X post.

So if a single Playstation fan sent death threats to a developer, would you say that you don't understand the PS fanbase? Would they be "weird and scary?" GTFO with this.

Hey guys,
I'd kill to play this game on PC, any plans?

Same reaction. But to be honest its the first time I saw or heard about a death threat in gaming because of exclusivity to a specific platform issue. Code Violet is an indie and not even an AAA game like well known exclusive like Mario, Zelda or Astrobot or Granturismo that is why it is really strange.

They were exclusive with Quantum Error too so what's changed?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's the Quantum Error developer. They did similar things before putting out that masterpiece to get people talking about it.
This is 100% engagement farming, lol

I could see it happening, but they aren't a dev I'm just going to take at face value.
They said they wouldn't bring the game to PC because they didn't want someone to make nude mods of their characters...which sounds like a line you'd throw into a video game parody comedy.
I'd echo the engagement farming.

Show the receipts. Expose these people. Go to the police.
Prove it to us.
I don't trust these peeps from that I'm hearing.

what the...
the raptor is giving themselves in, not even tried...
who wants this game so bad and send death threat, they need to see there are better games out there
It was on twitter I believe. How hard would it be to create a false account and squash the accusation? There is little reason to make that a thing and if they did provide it the accusations wouldn't stop.
It could be a publicity stunt but then where is your proof of that too? It's not that hard to believe there are some twitter nutters out there and this probably happened. It doesn't reflect on you just because it was a PC nutter. Best thing to do is to act sane and take it at face value instead of kicking up more controversy like all the twitter nutters are doing now on X. Makes me more likely to believe them really, especially how personally some seem to be taking it all.
"Wow that's terrible what a twat", without letting it affect your purchasing decision and moving on requires very little effort but logical thinking goes out the window when there is tribalism involved.

They just need to provide receipts. There's fake ai accounts all over twitter so if I was them I wouldn't trust any DMs messages on twitter. I wouldn't even comment about it.
If it's legit emails etc that can be traced then talk about it.
Just show the receipts when you make these kinds of claims. Especially when it's a game no one is talking about.
Apart from now, which shows how well this has worked.

Taking legal action is indeed a good idea.

It's not the first time developers (or voice actors for that matter) to receive death threats, so the likelihood of this being fake is low.

Oh this is the same dev? I remember that.

Come back to planet Earth.
Sure there are numerous bot accounts kicking up controversy and division on twitter but I'm saying it wouldn't even be difficult to create these receipts and if they did show it some people would still say it's bullshit. My question is why do people care so much if it happened or not? Do they feel it reflects on them or something?
Just say "that's terrible" and move on. No controversy of "platform warriors" being good or bad, no boycott/support "movement". Nothing. Just logically separate the issues and don't fall into tribalism. No having to fight for any corner.

Not commenting on this situation, but I'll give you guys a quick story.
One time, someone sent my personal email (which was not public online) pictures of my parents' house, along with a death threat. As in, they found my parents' house, traveled there, took pictures of it, and emailed my private, personal email address. They presumably thought I lived there, maybe because of legal or past public records.
To this day, I have no idea how they got any of that information. But after that point, I never underestimated how fucking crazy online people can be. That's all I'm saying.

I agree 100 percent and after clicking the link to the tweet that most people feel the same way.
They shouldn't have even said it. Especially from a studio that from the responses they have done this kind of stuff before and then just carpet blocked anyone not glazing them.
Seems suss

Imagine how retarded you have to be to receive death threats on Twitter from trolls and to actually believe that not only are the threats real but that the accounts are too.
Twitter is a bot farm hellscape cesspit and the fact that they don't know that in 2025 is quite simply shameful & embarrassing.

They have a history of doing this crap to gain attention and you are falling for it
Not really no. they don't have a history either. What they say might ruffle some feathers based on tribalism but it doesn't need to. Why do people get riled up by this stuff? Aren't they just feeding the 'engagement' they say they're immune to?
Same with Quantum error not running well on Series S or their view on mods or whatever, just ignore it. Why do people like this exist:
The only people falling for it are those trying to start controversy over it due to tribalism. Just move on. You don't need to agree with what Teamkill Media says or does.
