LootHunter: Well?
amok dropped and showed dislike for everyone who holds a stance that 3DRealms shouldn't support transgenderism. So why you're not telling
him that?
=======================
I bring it up exactly to avoid any ambiguity in what I'm saying. Because I've already had much experience with people like
amok, when I ommited some part and was accused of something simply because gap in my words allowed to twist and misinterpret them.
1. Because he didn't say anything I dislike(so far it seems in here) or disagree with.....at least that I noticed(I skim 15% of stuff). The thing is, he had a very reasonable stance(play the game if you want and don't get too upset at a few sprites being removed and some crap done to devs by the publisher) moreso than(from my pov) people crying over a few sprites cut from the game(1 of which isn't even in the main game areas) as if they inserted LGBT+ stuff throughout the game.
As I see it, 3DRealms is one of the FEW classic devs making stuff we like, and to essentially cast them off(as some have done or claimed to) due to virtue signaling forced on them by devs is insanely overboard and akin to cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. I myself would maybe buy the game a bit cheaper or put it off, but I wouldn't boycott them entirely over this unless they got much worse in what they have done.
2. The problem is there's PMs for that sort of thing(unless you've been blocked). That way you guys/gals can fight it out and not disrupt the main thread flow.
3DMaster: Oh, god, not this nonsense again; your reasoning is entirely backward; if not enough people now are not buying the game, you should be advocating even MORE to do it. Your idiocy "Oh, well you can't do anything anyway", is why corporations laugh all the way to the bank while they treat you like sheep that will keep buying. It's how EA and the like have to be shut down by the law, and without shame call thier gambling systems "surprise mechanics" to the law, because they know you sheep will keep buying, and continue to hand them money. If the attitude of gamers were the opposite of sheep going, "can't do anything anyway, most people will just keep buying", and recognized the power they hold by not giving them money, the first time this gambling shit showed up would have hurt them so much in their wallets they would have stopped immediately.
It's your sheep attitude, and the perception of your sheep attitude that has 3D Realms, and the rest, capitulate to that vile ideology with its tiny number of adherants on twitter in the first place. If the reputation of gamers had been that you get hurt in your bank accounts if you pissed them off, none would dare do this.
===========================
So if you want to continue get fucked over, and game companies capitulate to and virtue signal to these gender communists with ever shittier games with less and less humor, with less and less gameplay, keep it up.
If you want to see game companies make good games again, then you'll have to change your attitdue.
==========================
Oh, right, the people who say, "I will not give assholes who screw me over, and who will ruin games to placate some hateful ideologues who don't play any games anyway" are the sheep, but the people who keep handing their money over to companies the screw them over every change they get, they're the folks with spines, uhuh.
What nonsense? Not wanting to follow the masses saying to boycott over two sprites/textures?
I find it funny(in a way) you are telling me not to be a sheep to corporations by being a sheep to those blindly boycotting over two sprites and some misc actions the publishers forced on the devs.
So the way to not be a sheep to big business is to be a sheep to other people? How is that a solution or better option?
Also this is being blown out of proportion.....the actions were pushed on the devs by the publishers and most likely done to get the a**hats off their backs(smart move on them, btw...throw the complainers a bone and move on), not because they don't care about the customer and secretly promote the ideology that pushed them to do it.
As such, I refuse to cut off one of the last good classic devs due to some outrage mobs(which is what
SOME of those boycotting are becoming) who are upset at the publisher for bending to other outrage mobs.
=============================
Game companies virtues signaling too much is bad, I agree, but I am a grown man and I do not let others outrage tell me what not to play or consume.
Also not buying a game won't change much(
sadly)......many more will buy the game either to mock what's in it(on both sides) or because of curiosity...even some of the current boycotters will likely cave and do so eventually.
=============================
They are both sheep, both sides...full stop.
