Mark Kern. His game dev career flatlined, but he's found significant success online by whipping the outraged online mob into railing about 'woke' games. A grifter, through and through.




So you'll be boycotting Insomniac, too? Grummz has called out their Senior community manager over similar tweets.

He sounds like a man of character.

 

[Humdinger]

What the hell does a community manager do? That even a real job?

Their job is to establish a good relationship with the community who would buy their product (i.e., gamers).

Not going too well...

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Crap, anyone know if she still working for them or not?

I look forward to the studio’s inevitable closure.

 

[FunkMiller]

This is clearly a strategy that's working very well in all walks of life, so people should definitely continue to hire her.

This has been the greatest year in the history of SteamDB

Free entertainment. Best entertainment. Even Game Pass is more expensive.

"White male gamers" made gaming the multi-billion dollar industry that it is.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Hope it flops

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Could it be that the intersectional victimhood ideology might be seriously flawed and lacking in nuance? Nah, instead it means Asians are white people now.

White adjacent. Much different.

 

[Hohenheim]

White gamers?
All I hear about on this forum is the the blue ponies, green rats, team red and team green etc.
Lots of colours!

Reminded you to bump the 8 month old thread before you posted in the topic about the actual previews.

It’s thread right below the reply box

But it's because of their white privilege

 

[SHA]

I gotta say, I am getting really fucking tired of being vilified by these assholes. Again, a lot of us grew up in a time where our hobby was seen as "for losers" and made fun of cuz we weren't into other things that were more mainstream....now we got people like this telling me I don't belong in the hobby that was targeted to me for decades. Fuck off already.

And video games friendship were all lies, games taught me that life isn't just about money, and if you base your friendship on status, money, class, business, you lose it's real purpose.

Yes fuck them

It should be obvious why this thread was bumped at this specific time. It will probably be bumped again on review day and then on release day.

you got famous bro

 

[nick776]

About Insomniac--I was playing through Spiderman 2 yesterday and came across the bridge scene where the black deaf girl talks about how her style juxtaposes "black history and black futurism." It was sub-titled, so you had to read what she was saying. It seemed obviously planted and out of place, like someone went far out of their way to bury that commentary into the game to satisfy some kind of quota. Barf, puke, gag. It HAS TO STOP. Why can we just not have the story for the story's sake? Why do the DEI assholes have to insert their garbage where it does not belong? What is next? Is Mario going to encounter a trans princess peach? Is princess Zelda going to come out as lesbian? Enough is enough.

 

[DaciaJC]

you got famous bro

I took the liberty of fixing your post ...

"White [and white-adjacent] male gamers" made gaming the multi-billion dollar industry that it is.

There ya go, now you're in the clear.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Speak with your wallet fellas. Gotta uproot these people out of the industry.

 

[peter42O]

Don't give two shits about what the community manager said about anyone or anything. All I care about is the game which looks freaking great and if it plays as good as how it looks, even better. Can't freaking wait!!! Hyped!!!

[DenchDeckard]

Isnt the director a middle aged White gamer......How the fuck do these people get away with literally shitting on their co workers?

Jobs fucked. Pack it all up and throw it in room 101.

 

[Stu_Hart]

The real mistake are fake fans of ANY color that try to rage-bait and whine like babies over everything.

 

[Rob_27]

As she represents Compulsion Games. Is she representing the companies feelings. You can't just come out with stuff like that. You are the company, brand and ambassador when messaging. Either way she has to be kicked out. Or they may as well be called Racist Games.

White woke feminist are a special race, they don't have a spine so they are not easy to offend.

The mistake I see is making this clown a community manager.

I do, and will not buy any other game from them, even if she is only their community manager she is still the person representing them to the public. They choose her, and I choose not to give them my money.

 

[Chechack]

Yikes

you dont care about her but you do know that a part of the money that you spend on the game goes in her pocket right ? its like giving money to your bully ( assuming you are a white male)

I understand... racism against white people is pretty ok .. who gives a fuck.

His claim to fame game was literally made for the testosterone fueled white male gamers.

One would think he'd got the irony by now...

 

[dispensergoinup]

In elementary school, our white friend let us come over to his house and we played NES all day. TOXIC! MUST BE STOPPED!

If it plays as good as it looks?

I read they focused on graphics and music over gameplay, so I might wait and see on this one tbh.

Want a link, it's in the other thread I think?

 

[SHAKEZ]

This shit is almost guaranteed with CMs it's incredible, it's like a required "ability" for the position.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If anyone is looking for a job, just apply to game companies.

Looks like they’ll hire any retard, and give them a decent salary, desk, PC and you can basically say anything on social media and no bosses care.

Even if you badmouth gamers, bosses or just be political, it seems you get a lot of latitude to do what you want.

Yeah but people here are probably male and most likely white. No wag HR hires you.

Didn’t thru happen with Bud Light? Yet keeps happening to gamers and they do nothing.
