Thank God I'm skipping this shit.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

What in the actual fuck

looking forward to the collapse and closure of these studios and if need be the publishers.

 

[mrcroket]

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

 

[Codeblew]

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.

The pronoun shit starts at the character select screen. Once us normal gamers say that is okay, they will push it further.

[fudgybrownie]

Enjoy your "engagement" on Xbox gamepass because this game is gonna fade away so fast like Hellblade 2.

Fixed the title for accuracy.

There's no such thing.

Spoken like a true Finn.

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

Still the same. I'm not a thin-skinned baby. Some people fall too easily to troll bait. Ya'll got trolled hard.

 

[GHG]

The opposite side of grifters and their sheep is typically a pretty good side to be. Try it sometime, if Sony allows it.

edit, also since when are Gummz and Elon Musk representative of gamers as a whole

Interesting that you say that:

Rumor - Report: Microsoft has laid off their DEI team, shutting down diversity division

GHG the ass-roasting gravedigger.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I honestly wouldn't know. I'll just continue to ignore all sides of it. If the game's good, cool, I'll check it out. If not, cool, I won't.

Wow, imagine not going through life constantly angry and butt hurt over letters and pronouns. Can’t relate.

 

[crazepharmacist]

That's a shame because I was planning on buying this game. Won't touch it now.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Not to 'um aktually' but I dont believe he's calling gamers sickos. I think hes referring to himself as in this picture.

He's enjoying seeing chuds try to make a mountain out of an ant hill

Let's make another 50 youtube/twitch reaction videos on the tweet of an employee out of hundreds with a bunch of peoples in chat being all Beavis and Butthead

Yeah, I like to laugh at both sides of the pendulum because they’re both equally hilarious. Sorry friend, try the receipt game again.

 

[Pop]

Its all so soy

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Now incels and autists won't even play this game. We can't stop winning!

[Last Hearth]

Oof..
Well, I find these social media outbursts cringe AF from both "sides".
I'm very much looking forward to Avowed, but will probably stay away from forums and gaming sites while playing it. Just bad vibes from every side of the "debate".
Its all so silly and childish. Aren't these guys grown ups?

I just wanna enjoy some videogames, and I think i'm better off without knowing about every silly outburst people have on the net. I'll let the games do the talking.

So you're not concerned at all that a game made by some one with this level of maturity might have quality issues?

 

[GHG]

Well by your logic I'd assume you went on resetera when this news popped up asking for the neogaf thread so that you could read it while having your celebratory poop?

Or is it simply just that when it was reported Microsoft were ending their DEI policy you thought it was good news (because whatever Microsoft do you're always along for the ride, no matter what it is), only for you to now have to walk it all back since that's evidently no longer true?

You tell me, because either way it's not looking good.

[shamoomoo]

I miss the good ol' days of people stewing in anger at home alone with a beer before social media.

Huh? If a person knew the address of a studio they could send mail there,or if a person had money they could take out some kind of advertising.

I bring that up because I recently seen a video of how fans were upset about Michael Keaton playing Batman.

 

[Lambogenie]

To think there was a time they must have truly enjoyed the actual cool character designs coming out in the past, dreaming to do the same. Only to now find.. this ugly stuff acceptable?

 

[Hohenheim]

So you're not concerned at all that a game made by some one with this level of maturity might have quality issues?

Of course. That's why i'll just play the game without all the noisy input from the internet.
If it's good, i'll keep playing it. If it's bad, i'll put it down.
I just don't need every persons opinion on it.
It's a single player rpg. The game should do the talking.

Avowed Art Director Calls Gamers 'Sickos' Following Pronoun Criticism

One of the major Avowed developers has found himself at odds with some fans, using harsh words after criticism of pronouns.

tech4gamers.com

Following discourse over Avowed’s pronouns, he pointed to an image of former Blizzard developer Mark Kern and Elon Musk, dubbing the image “Sickos.jpg.” This was followed by additional criticism of Elon Musk, where the developer claimed to have wanted to make Elon Musk mad with his work on the RPG.

Mad respect for triggered the safe space wanting snowflakes.

 

[Kamina]

Touchy fuckers everywhere.
It’s just criticism, no need to get all angry and verbal over someone’s opinion

 

[Pasta la Vista]

What in the actual fuck

Holy fucking shit this is pathetic. I have zero remorse for people like this.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

I hate Elon Musk
and
I also hate the whole pronoun thing...

Let them fight !!!

I don’t have a Reeee account and I don’t need one, your ilk posts most of the good stuff here anyway. Here on GAF I get to experience the best of both sides of the cringe and insanity. Kind of like how I don’t need to know who any of the Xbox shills are or follow any Xbox news, I can just come to GAF and you are obsessed with talking about it.

What am I walking back exactly, and what isn’t true? Sorry, I’m not super fluent in warrior speak. You’re trying to make this into 3D chess when it’s just Candyland, friend.

Please seek help

 

[sendit]

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

I expect both users to have stocks of baby oil for this moment.

 

[CGNoire]

What in the actual fuck

I actualy suprised he didnt post this along side a video of himself crawling through broken glass all while loudly aknowledging the orginal land rights of local indigneous tribes. Attention Whores the lot of em.

 

[violence]

I did not realize this was the new Obsidian game.

 

[Perrott]

This asshole can shove Avowed right up his ass.

Obsidian is only Josh Sawyer at this point.

 

[XXL]

I didn't know the Elon fanclub was so big on here. This is funny to me lol

 

[Hohenheim]

Both sides?

Yeah, the endless talk about importance of DEI, pronoums and all that whacky shit, and the constant moaning about the existence of all of it.
I totally get it that this stuff triggers people, but I just find it all a bit too much. I'll prefer to just play the games that I think looks cool, and if I enjoy them i'll keep playing them.

And I know this is a kinda silly thing to write when i'm a active member on a gaming forum, but yeah.. it's just kinda how I feel about this whole thing.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Doesn't care at all about the (reputational) damage done to his company and upcoming game by making such tweets. Talks about willingly getting replaced to live in the woods.
Again, there's some signs of severe mental issues and/or depression, which seems to be a common thread amongst these activist games devs and artists.

 

[StereoVsn]

On one hand I really don’t like Musk and think he is a tool. On the other hand the dev seems like an idiot.

Dude, you've been caught with your pants down on multiple occasions here, have some shame.

It would be a lot more simple for you to just state why you've been flip flopping and spinning around on this issue than it is for you to try and deflect what's clear as day to everyone at the moment.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Then

Now

Weird, you cut off the part where I say I’ll play it on GamePass. I’ll also buy it if it’s good. Yeah, I was trashing a MS game. Don’t tell GHG, he’s triggered enough as it is.

 

[Hohenheim]

On one hand I really don’t like Musk and think he is a tool. On the other hand the dev seems like an idiot.

Yeah. I think just letting the game do the talking is the best thing to do when it arrives. Ignore the producer dude and his silly outburst, and take it for what it is. A fantasy game, that hopefully will be a cool gaming experience.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

have some shame.

Please say it again but say it in a reply where you’re also linking some months old post you either saved or wasted life searching for because you need some console warrior gotcha.

See what I mean? Best of both sides

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Ok well if he's still a member of the Microsoft Family of Developers then I support it I guess

I see you're the bargain bin discount Xbox version of can of ass whopping

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Yeah it actually really is. Fucking white cuck mentality. Funny how this type of shit mostly comes from white men and women who think they are taking the moral high-ground. Guess what? You don't win any "race points" by making statements like this, in the real world you just make yourself look weak to the crowd you are trying to impress.

Ahhh there it is. The usual “you’re the warrior and i’m not” crap. It’s always one side that hides their profiles. Too bad it didn’t save you from getting roasted.
