You acting like the game was coming to be PS to be able to “lose” sales, this is not going to stop the gamepass people from playing nor the steam crowd from buying, they already knew what they were in for just from the character designs back during the reveal, it’ll be fine

The whole purpose of MS releasing games on game pass is for the sales of game pass to grow. When shit games are being released, user base doesn’t grow . This is a prime example of a game that will not increase the sales of game pass . This is a failure .

MS can say engagment is 1000% all day. This spin doesn’t fly and even idiots can see right through it. They said same thing about tango and look what happened couple of months later.

This game WILL fail. Whatever happens to this retard or the studio is up to MS. But I imagine MS won’t be happy with this tweet and actions will be taken. The last thing they need is angry anti woke people against them.

Maybe the idiot was under stress because the pre sales numbers were absolute shit and he was worried about his ass getting fired with the rest of the mentally ill retards in the team due to poor sales, and that tweet by musk she triggered his fear even more so he snapped like an idiot he is.

 

[Chechack]

fuck elon

So weird seeing people mad at Elon/Grummz etc

Theyre just using their platform to inform other gamers whats inside the game these days simple as that.Theyre just literally typing few word and press submit on social media,nothing more than that

Theyre not the ones injecting woke propaganda,makes u wonder why are u mad at the messenger not the ones creating the message eh eh eh

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It’s triggering the shit out of me I keep putting myself in the place of the PR team at Obsidian, and it’s the stuff of nightmares. I’d would certainly be after this guy’s head on a plate.

All of the American big tech companies are super woke, but MS is one of the wokest even of those. He'll probably be promoted to studio head for 'standing up to the chuds and incels'

It’s possible. But it’s also possibility they were infected by these mentally ill people and couldn’t do much with the current government. I expect things will change with trump. At least these companies will have more power when it comes to stuff like that.

These people are having their worst nightmare slowly creeping towards them. No wonder the idiot snapped … on the guy who owns twitter too . Just to show you how mentally ill and brain dead these people are lol.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Hopefully @adamsapple and @Senua won't accept the Xbox name being dragged down by this filthy Woke idiot.

Xbox as a platform is incredibly woke already

Avowed is shit? When did you play it?

 

[//DEVIL//]

Avowed is shit? When did you beat it?

You must be blind to think it’s actually good. No disrespect ( actually I don’t give a fuck what you think ) the game looks like shit and gameplay videos are a snore fest I actually had to press alt +f4 to close the video as I couldn’t even watch the gameplay for more than 2 mins.

When a promotional gameplay videos released by devs are shit … then the game is shit . No need to overthink it . The sales numbers will prove this very soon

 

[Ozriel]

So... what is the opinion now of those who said "they are just pronouns"?

I’m supposed to change my mind that it’s just a toggle (as far as we know) because you’re offended he insulted Lord Musk?

You’ve played a review copy of a game that’s 3 months away?

The previews are unanimous that it is - in fact - not shit.
Will it sell crazy numbers? Unlikely. but the odds are that it’ll land quite well with critics. Looks like it’s something I’ll be happy to play while you monitor sales numbers and CCUs.

How did that work out for Redfall again?

 

[peish]

What’s with American hardons on pronouns? that shit just makes things needlessly complicated, tiresome

And now we have same social media drama about it

 

[Silver Wattle]

These far left extremists need to take a business class, they keep torpedoing their own products just to score points within their echo chambers.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Cool man. Go enjoy Mortal Kombat.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

People from both sides are guilty of it. Let's be honest. Disagree with 1 side, and you get labelled as part of the other. Common sense, nuances and objectivity are absent.

Or - just STFU because nobody cares about your opinion? Unless your are a high level exec and are getting off to public conferences, but then you are very, very careful of not only what you say but also how.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Cool man. Enjoy the latest 2k.

 

[Skifi28]

What happened to having PR teams?

 

[FunkMiller]

What happened to having PR teams?

They exist. But that doesn't stop entitled little shits like this guy ignoring their advice and putting out this kind of crap online. Sadly they exist in pretty much every industry or organisation. The 'I know better' crew.... who never do.

"The game is shit because I have obvious agendas, and that's a fact"
Be real.

I have hit a nerve since you people care enough and are easily triggered. I don't cater to glass hearts. I only post what I see in front of me.

I don’t mean you to STFU, I meant the director.

 

[tommib]

America needs to re-instate mental institutions, this is really getting out of hand.

America can’t handle the internet. They should turn it off there.

 

[Stu_Hart]

I don’t mean you to STFU, I meant the director.

Sorry about that. My bad.

 

[Dorfdad]

Let’s double down on what 75% of the country voted against. It sounds like a smart person. Just make games and be quiet.

 

[Deerock71]

Few people shit-post better than Elon.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Another game dev going unhinged. Can't wait to try his new game...

"Once, we too, were video game developers. And a scourge of woke activists we have faced. But alas, more and more of us have succumbed to the woke mind virus. And now only I remain."

 

[MayauMiao]

Yeah let’s double down on what 75% of the country voted against!!! Sounds like a smart person how about you just make games and shut the fuck up

Hey now, it might not be 75% as California is still counting.

Anyway whether you love or hate Elon, his response carries weight many times over than some art director.

 

[hyperbertha]

Musk is the least of his problems. His game has been looking worse with each preview. It's starting to look like an early PS4 title. So maybe focus on what matters?

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

sheeeeiiit now I'm expecting outer worlds like trash

save us again next year, glorious nippon!!!

 

[Labadal]

That he wanted to make someone mad with his game tells me every thing I need to know about this game.

Avoided.

 

[killatopak]

You know people were actually going to let stuff slide if it was just a thing on the character creator with no other gameplay effects.

Engaging in politics in game development automatically alienates half of your consumers. It’s a lose-lose situation. The best thing to do was to shut the fuck up and let your product do the talking.

Have these people never learned anything in the past? Jordan gets it.

 

[Salty Pickle]

So a fantasy game can have magic and dragons and elfs but if it has different pronouns people freak out?

What a world we live in.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[Cakeboxer]

They can be glad the game is on Game Pass.

Musk and Trump please bring Microsoft and the american gaming industry in general to their senses.

This gives me hope:

Walmart to phase out DEI initiatives amid escalated attacks from conservatives

Company will no longer consider race and gender when making offers to suppliers and will remove LGBTQ+ merchandise

Yup, when you peel back the layers you quickly realize the entire “anti woke” movement doesn’t make a lot of sense.

But in this case, they shouldn’t have said anything. The worst thing you can do is engage these people. The higher ups at Avowed will most likely tell him to release a statement apologizing and delete the tweet.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Well I'm definitely not going to be going near this on day one or until I've seen unrestricted impressions. I don't like it when developers act like this.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

when dragons start spreading their skirt and flashing their penis at kindergartners during dragon queen story time we'll freak out about them too

 

[LimanimaPT]

Yes, because magic, dragons and elfs don't carry political messages but pronouns do.
Political messages shouldn't be in a videogame or any sort of entertainment medium.

 

[SolidQ]

Question to Mask about Fortnite. His reaction

 

[killatopak]

Two words. Double standards.

Chinese monkey fantasy not being diverse enough? Final Fantasy slammed for not having black people? Capitalist dystopian society having trans people gets slammed by trans. Emphasis on dystopian by the way.

It wasn’t long ago when stuff like a genocidal one man army elf killer was the coolest shit I saw and he was in fact gay. Like this cool floating dude with two skin colors fucked gods and got fucked by other gods and even got pregnant was one of the most interesting characters around. I fucken loved it. That was Elder Scrolls. Pelinal Whitestrake and Vivec. In fact that game is littered with so much diversity yet nobody complained. I loved that climate we had in the past.

I want to go back when we could actually appreciate stuff without politics getting in the way.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Calling Elon musk a sad little shit in a public forum is pimp as fuck. Props to the guy.

Don't worry, he will come out saying he was drunk when posting.

These leftists never learn huh

It's a world of magic and dragons, not current day America.

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

This is another game which I'll happily skip. I'm sure it will be a resounding failure too.

 

[The Skull]

Can't wait for the inevitable mod to remove them that's taken off Nexus mods . I'll give it a go in gamepass as the previews seem fairly damn positive so far.

 

[CartesianMan]

Someone said something in internet - shocking!

 

[Z O N E]

What in the actual fuck

I think someone should tell him that I'm pretty sure it's illegal to discriminate based on the colour of someones skin.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Can't believe we live in times where your a sicko if you say there are only 2 genders. Pure insanity. These corporations are the ones promoting this. That's why they hire these types and put them in high positions.

 

[Hyet]

Did this guy just admit this type of features get included out of spite instead of tolerance? I thought they were against hate!

 

[nnytk]

Identity politics are unhealthy.
