catpower1980: Some petition is going on against the game:
https://archive.today/vTsdl

I love the threats :)
"The success of your studio and your careers depends on your response to this petition. Change the project content if you have to. Hatred is not welcome here. I am a member of many, many groups on Linkedin including those of AAA studios. On top of that, I'm an editor for two large gaming blogs and you better believe you'll get negative publicity and look like absolute monsters for even thinking up a game concept like this that shows that you are a group of racist, sexist individuals basing your careers on offending people instead of making a worthwhile title. This petition in its entirety from the mission to the amount of supporters will be shown to as many influential parties as I can contact."
it reads like a 4chan copypasta.

I see he has a Patreon account, although he has zero backers for $0 dollars. Influential! Guess he isn't one of the developers though.

Yummlick: This thread is getting more and more ridiculous with every damn post! xD

dudalb: Agreed. So now a store not selling a game constitutes censorship. Brilliant.
And the game sound like another Postal...where the designers are trying to be as outrageous and over the top as possible, but forget about putting in decent gameplay.
Is the gameplay really that bad, though?

Because dudalb decides what decent game play is. :) Clearly, you are the emperor of the universe.

But then where are the Space Marines? :(

What see, MR. Screams against censorhip gets upset because somebody voices an opinion that a game is lousy.

Having a real problem taking you seriously with this kind of nonsense.

In both Postal gems, it gets very old very fast. Being a homicidal maniac is fun for about five minutes, then it gets boring.
And in Postal 2 the :"edgy,daring humor and satire"" is not nearly as clever and funny as the designers though it was. The humor falls flat very quickly.

And so this starts again...
When people creates a petition to vote against a game they already took action for censorship. The creation of the petition AGAINST a game is already a try to silence a message (which can be anything) so what do you dont understand in this case about censorship ?

The only thing you people do the whole time is to run around a game that you dont like. OK we understand but many people dont care about what you dont like. Because its a matter of taste. When you dont like apples i also dont create a petition to destroy all apples on this planet... so you are the problem and not the ones who want to play this game.

But we already know that you dont use any reason and just repeat your social brainwashed nonsense only first world people could come up with with to much time in their empty live.

urknighterrant: It's not censorship, you moron. It's only censorship if it's being instituted by force of law.
Agreed. A lot of the people don't understand what the word "Censorship" means.

From Wikipedia: "Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other such entities."

LoL, wow a petition really. Well not too surprised. I don't think it will have any effect, just free publicity =P

I'm actually really interested in the game, as these type of games rarely ever get made. I hope it gets released and it plays well. I'll pick it up if it has good enough controls to work with.

The only two games that are reminiscent of that kind of violence is Postal 1 and Manhunt. Manhunt was insane with what it got away with graphic death kills, however you weren't killing innocents. Postal 1 was just repetitive mindless fun for a quick game and yeah you were killing innocent people, however they looked like pixels and not like people at all =P

"You make something I don't like. Change it or I will use my over-inflated impression of my own influence to try and shut you down"

I love it.

There is no government action, so de jure segragation is not a thing in this hypothetical. Stores choosing not to sell the game would only constitute de facto censorship if their refusal meant the game was virtually impossible to acquire; since the game will be sold freely on the devs web site as a digital download, de facto censorship does not exist.

As for the petition... I'll admit I'm not wild about it, but I think that the devs should probably take this as a sign that they need to release more information about their game. I mean, all we have is a trailer that does nothing to paint this game in the best of light, and comments from the dev that fly in the face of this game supposedly having any kind of artistic point behind its handling of the rather disturbing subject matter. If the game is supposed to actually be some sort of insight into the mind of a mass murderer, you might want to release data showing that that's actually the case and not that it's just something you pulled out of your ass as some sort of manufactured post hoc justification for indulging in exploitation of the type that the trailer makes the game look like.

RWarehall: I'm not even sure how he gets sexist from the whole thing anyway? They kill women too, so they are sexist? C'mon.
You haven't been following gaming debates lately, have you? Disagree with something the media says? SEXIST. When a group of people asking for ethics in gaming journalism is labelled as "women-haters", you know something is really fucked up.

By the way, have you seen Anita's video where she talks about Hitman Absolution? Basically she called the game sexist because you can kill female NPCs. Fuck logic, right?

This petition is ridiculous. And I say that as someone who hates everything Hatred stands for.

EDIT: Oh, I see I am reposting old news -__-
