CDPR's tweet said, "Did you just assume their gender?!" - LINK: https://archive.is/kAD7B

I thought this tweet was hilarious, because SJW's make a big deal about this constantly and take it to insane, unhealthy extremes. 99% of the people who buy your games had a good laugh over this tweet. But for some reason you caved to the vocal minority of SJW's in America who have no political power and are considered social outcasts. These people don't buy your games. SJWs are modern sociologists who've graduated from far left universities & colleges. They're goal is to turn EVERYTHING political and force their social justice concepts into every piece of media in existence, with no regard for story, lore or character back story, they don't give a damn about these things. I remind you that CDPR had to defend themselves from accusations of racism from SJW's, just because there were no black people in Witcher 3.

Now you've apologized to them: https://twitter.com/CyberpunkGame/status/1031930291772899329 - This is VERY harmful, because you just made a joke, but then you backed down as if you were wrong, when in fact you did nothing wrong. IMO, you didn't need to apologize. Everyone knows you're either a male or female. Assuming gender is not a big deal.

I've bought every single CDPR game that's ever come out, but if you side with SJW's, I will be forced to boycott your game. I can't believe I would ever have to say this to CDPR, because I LOVE YOUR COMPANY! I've supported you since your inception, but you betrayed me today. *sigh*

- Let's learn from Doom Eternal
The doom guys made a politically incorrect joke in their game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGSMoMtPmbI&feature=youtu.be&t=675 - "remember, demons can be an offensive term, refer to them as mortally challenged." - Gamers LOVED this. Gamers tend to be very politically incorrect. That is why we love games like GTA which is filled with politically incorrect offensive content. SJW's hate political incorrectness, that is why they're so upset with your joke.

- Let's learn from GTA 5
GTA is filled with politically incorrect content, similar to the joke you made on twitter. Yet this game has sold over 50 million copies. Gamers do not like political correctness. We despise it. We love offensive jokes that push the limit.

- Let's learn from Battlefield 5
There's a lot of people who are not buying Battlefield 5 because they've aligned with SJW's. Their trailer was so horrible that it caused a major backlash. Dice allowed their game to be used as a conduit for social justice and the trailer didn't make any sense as a result. Please understand, I say this with full respect to you, SJW's don't care about you or your game. They only care about forcing their politics into everything to promote their political agenda.

- Learning from Kingdom Come Deliverance
The developers who made Kingdom Come Deliverance are anti-SJW. The gamers quickly sided with them and supported their game as much as possible because they were anti-SJW and because they made a quality product.

- Dear CDPR, You're no longer neutral
The only reason I recommend picking a side is because you've crossed the line. You're no longer politically in neutral territory. By making that joke you're now in a position where you need to side with someone. This is just my opinion. I'm not ordering you to do anything. You guys ultimately decide what you want, but because you made this joke and apologized for it. You've inadvertently picked a political side. This is how gamers will perceive your apology on twitter.

You're either anti-SJW or SJW. You can try to stay neutral, but by making the joke and then apologizing to SJW's you've inadvertently sided with them. If you side with SJW, expect the same backlash that Battlefield 5 is getting. If you're anti-SJW expect all gamers to side wtih you the same way they sided with Kingdom Come Deliverance and GTA 5.

Now as a consumer I have to decide whether I want to buy your game or not. If you align with SJW's, I cannot buy your game.

- SJWs in America
Remember, SJW's in America have no political power. Their illogical ideals have caused them to lose all political power. America dislikes SJWs. They have no power here and are laughed at because their ideals are so illogical and nonsensical. I'll always hear them out, always support their free speech, but what they say doesn't make sense. Traditional social justice warriors before 2010 were far more logical. Modern social justice warriors are insane.

*hugs* Thank you for reading. Take care!

To be fair, a company really has trouble knowing when they're getting hit with bots and the loud minority if they've crossed the line or not. You could ask McDonalds and a few other companies like them that have fallen to bot emails where a few people wrote emails condemning their practices and simply changed the wording and sent these emails from thousands of accounts. GOG isn't beholding to your political ideology, just because you say so, and this is from someone who agrees that the pandering is a bad idea. If you don't like GOG's choices, quit buying from them, but don't make a post to the community as the sole champion. I don't know if you realize this is the message you're giving, but it is: you appear to be elevating yourself above all GOG customers. If you want to rally the community, address the community, not GOG the company. Guess what: no one is neutral, ever, which is the whole big problem everyone has with SJWs. You gotta check off the list of things you must have, and then go back through and go through the checklist and make sure you don't have the things they find offensive. GOG never was neutral, even if they thought they were. Wrong, they have power, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing half the shit we're seeing. SJWs are the primary opposition to Trump, for example. They have plenty of power, otherwise no one would pander to them. And crazy, hardcore, non-sensical SJWs were a thing even back in the 60s. The thing is, people who made sense were intermixed with them. People loose their jobs in the US over SJW mentality, so don't say they have no power. We'd like to believe they don't, and they really shouldn't, but this bullfuckery is all over the place, here.

So first Postal 2 and now one about Cyberpunk 2077 ?, the idiot/s who's handling twitter for Cyberpunk needs to get their shit together and stand for what they say and stop apologizing for the mildest of jokes because someone somwhere got offended for whatever reason there is.

It's probably best if the person stayed away from internet altogether or stop making jokes if it backfires all the time because every time someone gets offended i see only rants and never any solution and it's starting to get annoying and seem forced even.

As much as hate PC culture i can understand if GOG wants to try and stay away from any controversies and avoid media shitting all over them because surprise, surprise many people stil pay attention to them which is beyond me.

As long as they don't attack gamers again because " reasons" i can tolerate their fuck ups and i want my games drm free.

Agreed. At risk of the IDPol game, though, it seems a good chunk of the other publishers here are of the SJW brand, including one of the most recent releases. On the flip side, The Witcher doesn't seem all SJW friendly. I'm really not sure what's going on internally.

I can't speak for GOG and CD Projekt but employees leaves and new get hired all the time and from outside Poland too so different people with different ideas will inevitably change internal politics to some degree if they are allowed to express them, it's showing in their twitter posts i say,

Whether or not it will affect quality of their games remain to be seen.

Vocal minorities suck.

Those who are complaining aren't likely consumers anyway, so blow them to the winds and slam the door on them.

Yeah I'm thinking that GOG and CDPR are kinda being a bit too apologetic lately and it isn't going to help them win any brownie points with people that are not even going to buy their stuff anyway. So you piss off a few people that weren't even interested in your game, so what? Do you think that they'll have enough pull to make a game has huge as Cyberpunk 2077 to lose huge sales? Come on now, get some prescriptive here. Or at least perhaps think before you Tweet.

Holy fuck has Twitter really ruined a lot of shit for the rest of us, haven't they?

Thankfully, I'm a social network hermit. The only place you can find me is in these here forums and Discord.

It's saved me a lot of grief and sanity. But here's a picture of a cat.

I am for the most part as well. I do not Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr none of that crap. And thank you for cat pics, that's at least a GOOD use for Twitter. :)

I've noticed from the forums that GOG's customer base does include SJWs, so we're just being silly with this. However, it is wise to note that placating keyboard warriors doesn't make the BS go away, if they even can be placated. If you piss someone off for political reason (other than honestly doing something stupid), then the apology will likely not placate the people you piss off, but also piss off everyone else. Kind of like ripping out a barbed arrow.

In the sidebar, the one that's @Proton_Jon, there's more cats. The two (Proton_Jon and Lucahjin) are a loving couple to be married this September, so that's exciting to me.

I get what you are saying and yes in this day and age it could be seen as pandering by some but i personally don't think it should be seen pandering as long as they only add options to a futuristic game but imo it all comes down to how you handle it and the context of it in the game rather than making it a possible option to pursue such relationships and it would be a shame to see the game suffer for it.

I couldn't care less about sex and romances in a game though, that's not why i play games so i really hope it manages to avoid controversy in that regard.

I hate the censorship of social media, but Discord is no hero.

No, Discord themselves have been accused of gate keeping as well. Sadly, there never will be a perfect social media solution, or there is one, which is just not to use them. XD
