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.

It's not a PC problem, it's a gaming problem. Crazies live on all sides of the PC/Console spectrum.
That being said, this is clearly engagement farming to drum up hype for a bad game. I promise they received more death threats over Quantum Error being bad than this game not coming to PC.

This sounds like the most fabricated "death threat" controversy since the last one. Would be very easy to provide evidence but I guess none will be provided.
people have been making this stupid accusation since before their first bad game Quantum Error released:
Yet with how QE ran on release on better hardware I'd say what they were saying was true. The irony is that the people who get riled up and make these accusations are the ones who create the 'engagement' then make the accusation of engagement. Teamkill say some controversial dumb stuff too. I don't think mods is an excuse to skip PC, I call bullshit on that (it's likely because they're a small dev that struggles really) but they don't want to say the real reason. No reason for people getting mad about a video game skipping PC though as much as that is bullshit. Look at the video above some guy was even mad when Teamkill congratulated someone on a platinum trophy and tried to start some shit. yet the guy on the vid thinks Teamkill is at fault for things they didn't even say or do themselves. Those people kick up the engagement/controversy then complain about engagement farming. They should just say "OK" and move on, why are they so upset about that stuff? Especially when they have no interest in the game anyway.

Another case of unverifiable statements.
Do people really think we should believe blindly such grave accusations made over the internet ? It doesn't work. If this is really an issue, no statement on the internet matters. What people do is reach out to the police, and they don't talk about it on the internet.

Is it me or is this guy is one of the developer of this game? His reaction being so defensive seems suspicious

No, Teamkill Media is an American studio. I'm from the UK and not affiliated in the slightest nor defending it. Just trying to figure out why the people getting riled up and pushing this engagement are the ones who shout out "engagement farming" when they could just not engage at all. Trying to figure out why they're so mad and dont just ignore it thereby defeating Teamkills alleged evil plans. If I was part of the studio that made Quantum Error why would I call it a bad game?
Well that's just your and Gonzitos tribalism at play again for even suggesting something silly like that. Pretty stupid and baseless accusation but that's nothing new. Not like we weren't just discussing baseless accusations just now or anything. The fact that you think it's about "sides" tells me everything. There are some truly hateful people out there as the video shows.

These are the same guys that started a bunch of needless drama by saying they didn't want their gooner game on PC because they were scared of mods oversexualizing their main character.
Here's a look at their various promo stuff:
I'm not saying they're lying, but I believe that they're lying. Classic clickbait type stuff to get more attention to the game, which they've already done.
