Chaos_Marine: GoG, the people who are pissed at you aren't your customers or your friends or consumers. Gamers are your audience. We support our hobby by buying from the likes of you.
Encore! :P

Xarfai.667: I wouldn't had cared if they just had removed the tweet. But they not only kissed the butt of lying game journos they also called GG "an abusive movement". And where did they go to explain this? To ResetERA!

Sorry, but I will not spend any more money on GoG until the person responsible apologized to the so called "abusive movement".
I highly doubt that will ever happen.

Do think about this, though. A movement happened but it isn't the movement itself that would have feelings hurt. The people. The gamers that had been worn down and concerned about their hobby being fucked with so fucking much that there had to be a boiling point sometime soon.

We're all just people with concerns for our hobby and constantly being thrown out as something to be mocked and fucked with whenever it suits current political parties and media. How DARE gamers raise concerns and want to stand up instead of continually get stepped on.

We're just a bunch of fuckin' people. Gamers. What really was the reason for tossing us under the bus like that? Why are we always made fun of and treated like shit but when someone wants something, they wanna be beeeeeest freeeeinds. Then they do the same shit over and over again.

Chaos_Marine: Game journos who consistently force their politics into game
(7) art is always political, you're just shit at narrative media interpretation.

(8) They tossed decency under the bus and shamelessly stuck their noses up Poland's regime with their first tweet. Then they turned around and tried tossing a bunch of early alt-right political activists under the bus. They never threw "gamers" under the bus. Why should they anyway. Gamers are dead. Doesn't even crunch when the bus runs over a bunch of long rotted corpses.

Vainamoinen: (1) "SJW" is a fascist enemy figure and incorporates the exact same bullet points the Untermensch of the nazis did, including even the communist conspiracy and the degenerated art.

(2) If you take your info off Ian Miles Cheong videos, you're clearly bonkers. It's a shitty little man trying to leech off far right idiots. He's never had an original idea in his life and stole all his news from reddit.

(3) gamergate was a movement of misogynist retards who employed the exact weaponry of instrumentalized conspiracy theories, clear cut lies prescribed as alternate facts, and incitement to hatred that later brought Donald Trump the presidency.

(4) In the same vein, "it's about ethics in journalism" is and always was yesterday's "The sentence should have been I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t". No one in their right mind believes either silly justification for despicable behaviour.

(5) If GOG officials were so morally corrupt and legally insane that they used gamergate's fascist journalism and journalist subjugation memes in order to ... I don't really give a shit what they did this for ... they deserve that their platform goes to hell in a bread basket.

(6) Calling gamergate an "abusive movement" actually is an understatement. I'm thankful for attempting to set this right, but I do wonder how much setting right can actually be done.
A lie often repeated does not become truth by repetition. You are projecting your qualities way too much on others.

Very SAD that GOG needed to do this, but GOG guys you still got my support, as I understand the internet angry mobs including and specially the actually super-frustrated and willing to do anything related to attention but not to promote games that is nowdays game journalism in general, are annoying to the point they don´t help you AT ALL to sell more than 10 copies of a game, but they can just fuck you up, so better make them shut up.

But this is "kidnapping" your freedom, and basically kidnapping you.

I am bonkers? Ian Miles Cheong a shitty little man to leech of Nazis? Sounds more like you are the hateful person.

A medium hitpiece, nice.

Yet, do not despair. He who tries to whitewash gamergate has more than enough other qualities that will make the truth quite obvious.

Yeah, yeah. I know that game. "No you". I stopped playing in 3rd grade though.

Wait, I am getting confused.

So journalism is dead because the game journalists are not doing their job i.e. praising the shit out of CDPR's new game and...

...wait, THEY ACTUALLY DO THAT.

They literally get shown some stupid press only demo and aren't supposed to record and show anything to their audience, just fucking praise Cyberpunk 2077 beyond belief for weeks and months even though we don't get to see a shred of the game in action.

I mean, what hypocrisy is this even.

CDPR/GOG is literally trying to make them the experts and therewith their marketing tools as they get bombarded with questions that would have been answered easily if we saw the footage. Forced satellites and brand ambassadors.

And now what? A little piss and shit via tweet on the press that is already working for them wholesale, knighted into servitude on the basis of one teensy vertical slice demo of a game that's years off? Juuuust to make clear who the fucking boss is?

Not even Electronic Arts is acting this kind of heinous.

Turn around, GOG folks, turn around.

"I don't even really care about orcs vs not orcs, you should write things you like, but you also should be aware that "warlike tribal orcs with black skin" makes a very weird statement in 2018 and your response seems to be, "No it doesn't, and saying that makes YOU racist."" - Julian C Williams

"..If someone read The Hobbit and loved it and wanted to create something like it, what's the over/under on them also writing a book with literally zero named women?..." - Julian C Williams

"But you are still saying orcs are inherently warlike and tribal and violent. That is a justification used to treat Mexicans and black people as monsters in our society *today.*" - Julian C Williams

I guess I know enough.

GOG, you messed up. Do your homework:

1) As a company, don't choose a side regarding gamergate
2) never apologize to SJWs
