Avowed art director calls Elon Musk a "sad little shit" over Avowed gender pronoun complaints, indicates more of the same in final product

We've seen this song and dance before. I could give two shits about what he thinks about Elon (a dude I don't give a shit about) but calling your potential customers "sickos" is never a good business strategy lol.

That said, it's all been said in the other topic. What a fucking shitshow.

I once worked for a relatively small 40 people company, and I remember even there they told us not to engage with people on social media regarding company related stuff.
They basically told us "even if someone is being a complete ass or saying stuff you know is false, don't engage with them and just let our community manager deal with those comments".

So it's weird some people in senior positions at bigger companies seemingly haven't figured this out yet.
 
This deserves the classic, lol, lmao even response.
These suicidal idiots are amusing. Shame about Obsidian though, they had a good run.

Spot on. This fucking tool has gone off piste because he just has to clap back on the big bad Muskrat, and has probably irrevocably damaged his game's sales potential.

Elon is an utter fucking tool some of the time. That doesn't excuse or justify potentially destroying your fucking company just because you have no self control or self preservation instinct.

I absolutely love how these activists crumble under the least bit of resistance. It's so easy to root them out and this tactic never fails.

All you need is someone gaining traction by saying something like "pronouns are unacceptable" and there you go. They just can't help themselves.

Amazing self-own, yet again.
 
Merchants intentionally alienating their customer is one of the most idiotic business practice I can think of. You would essentially need to have a monopoly on your product to get away with this.
 
Once upon a time I was genuinely looking forward to Avowed. Now I wont even try it on GP. And its not just this. Its just one thing after another. The game can fuck off.
 
Despite the pronoun horseshit I actually considered giving this game a chance based on the previews. There are some things I can look past, but these mentally deranged developers and the absolute disdain they have for their potential customer base is not one of them. Fuck Obsidian. Hire real developers to make your games instead of these goddamn clown show activists who care only about a small subset of the most miserable people on Earth.
 
Do these devs not realize they're just digging themselves into a deeper hole when they make comments like this? I didn't even care about the pronouns before but this actually made me way less interested in the game.

I wonder if it all is about self sabotage for some kind of larger consolidation plan by the big, faceless elites?
Conspiracy.... maybe.. 👀 🤷‍♂️
 
MS already paid for my copy. Playing the shit out of this and not getting one guy triggered. Guess I'm not bothered by one person's opinion. We'll see how this plays out. He is making it fun.
 
I don't give a shit about pronouns in games, unless it becomes a focus point like in Veilguard.

But this moron should've taken the high ground. Elon Musk is a joke. Ignore him and focus on making the game great.

He just doesn't give a shit and has a loose mouth because prior to Musk buying Twitter people like him could talk shit like this and get very little pushback. Social media and the gaming press was/is almost 100% controlled by their peers who all harbor the same sentiments.
