Just so everyone knows what we're talking about here, these "accusations" were baked into a long post where a crazy haired bitch tried to extort money from a company that used to employ her and Soule, throwing everything she could at the wall hoping something would stick. The accusation itself was a single sentence ("he raped me") in a wall of text ranting about unpaid work.

Stop giving these moron exposure, by doing so you are playing their game. They love the outrage because it brings CLICKS.

You. Are. Playing. Their. Game.
 
Why do you even know who composed the music in Oblivion remastered to be upset in the 1st place? Lol

People going out of their way to be hurt 😭
 
They should change the name of their website from "PC Gamer" to "Woke British Social Activism". Why would I give a flying fuck what a guy was accused of and apparently absolved of if he's not in prison.
 
More nonesense, the music of Oblivion is the music of Oblivion story end of, PC gamer should be doing articles on PC gaming, not this type of rubbish, how this site has gone downhill over the years, it's a shadow of what it used to be.

Sitting here watching the Pianist with some thriller on in the background carefully polishing my Jim Il Fix it badge (though tbf I would bin that one) so why should I give a fuck what some non binary purple haired femboy who cosplays as a journalist have to say about videogames... They/them can fuck off into the sea with their body type 1 mankini
 
i never played the original. my first bethesda style game was skyrim. im listening to the oblivion soundtrack atm. quite impressive

"Problematic art"

Dude's a hack cunt, the sort that gets Trump re-elected. Best to ignore these insufferable sorts, the complete lack of self awareness is breathtaking.

It is little wonder gaming sites are dying when they're being edited by berks like this guy.
 
Absolutely not. Accusations are not proof - it's been years, where's the verdict/judgement/conviction? At this point, the opposite should be happening - Soule should absolutely be back for Elder Scrolls VI.
 
I always keep forgetting the "PC" in PC gamer doesn't stand for "personal computer"

Also lol, I just knew they'd find a way to include Jk Rowling in the writeup.

Evidence? Police report? Criminal conviction? Civil suit victory?

Oh, right, nothing except the word of the most psychotic looking person you've seen in your entire life. Yes, let's prevent one of the video game industry's greatest composers from ever working again based on that alone.

Thank you for archiving the link, too often these people get clicks for their bitching. It's just another example of how people try to further weaponize "guilt by association".

Even if Jeremy Soule literally did all of it, the idea that I'm going to be thinking about his crimes from years ago while playing a remaster of a game I enjoyed back in college is ridiculous.

Or should we....what...remix the soundtrack with a different person, inevitably keeping the same basic sound, so we're just ripping off the guy's work while taking away his name in the credits? For some people's feelings?

Well they removed Notch's name from Minecraft and dude basically made the game. It wouldn't surprise me the lengths these people go through to thwart the so called "bad guys". lol

I thought that was just for the splash screens, and his name is still in the credits as creator.

No doubt that companies can do it though, if enough people in managerial control deem it so. I do think the culture is getting fatigued around cancellations though vs 10 years ago.

That's how most of these people got so rooted in the industry. I'd hasten to say its why the AAA space is absolutely imploding right now.

Zero talent, but can sure make up a good story. Just a damn shame they never have the competence to actually put it into practice in the real world.

Hopefully with the release of Clair obscur we'll start to see small teams break away from these utterly infested dens that were overtaken by these types and start getting back to talented passionate teams making what people actually want.

Fingers crossed.
 
Good grief, if this never was proven and the accusation came from that..... thing, then my spidey-senses are tingling with doubt. Leave the music alone and bring him back for VI until we see convictions. Otherwise it's a school playground smear with no merit....
 
I didn't know this shit.

I'm finna look into these allegations. This man can't be kept out of gaming for some me-too shit that aged like milk.

I'mma find the fuck out right now.

Edit: I'm back - This story seems to have dissolved into thin air over the years. Doesn't look like there was much of one to begin with. Dude gets accused on social media(that I can tell) sans evidence(that I can find) and apparently he's not getting any work since then.

Could be agitprop.

Website may hate gamers. Any way they can poke us and get our attention might be a huge win for them.

Honestly it's why I don't pay attention to any of these types of articles and let the actual legal procedures play out. It's AgitProp, it's ALL AGITPROP.

Read enough of these articles for either side and you'll start to realize just how it's the same inflammatory writing style that pokes at your brain to get a reaction: no matter how negative, positive or bizarre if you reacted to it it's done it's job. Just ignore it, Kotaku was famous for this shit in the early 2010s to the point that any good articles and reviews that were written and posted were drowned out by the clickbait reputation they became famous for. It got 10x worse after Patricia Hernandez joined the staff and was posting crap about bodybuilding forums gossping and deleting comments from readers asking what this had to to with videogames.

Sadly, it's just who they are. The only people left working in traditional "games media" are radical identity communists. They long since ousted everyone who was remotely sane and sabotaged their entire industry in the process.
 
I was thinking about this recently. How Bethesda severed their relationship with this composer - who, quite frankly, was instrumental (I apologize in advance for this pun) in the success of their games - over what boils down to twitter accusations. I'm not weighing in on whether he's guilty or not, just that there was no due process or even legal process in this matter. I'd like to think we've moved past this kind of thing, but apparently not considering the writer refers to a "list of problematic art" (includes Harry Potter because of course it does).

OT, but "problematic" is a great word and it deserves better than what it got - being reduced to a symptom word to let people know they're dealing with dumbass activist types. :messenger_pensive:
