KiNgBrAdLeY7: Well, if everything remains untouched and this is for certain... Without any new tripping... I might get it officially, through the publisher. But i feel much better, by aiding those in need, who also happen to be the ones behind the creation of this nice game (and the ones who advised us to "eff politics and get the game anyway you like"). Supporting VICTIMS (directly), had always been MY priority.
Also, had they completely ignored the mindseek friks, no bad PR no nothing would have happened. They are a vocal minority and from what people say, they had trouble with the law, before renaming their forum. Also, their lackeys who launched cyber-offensives in Steam forums of the game lately, lacked the mousepad icon, which marks owners of the game!
And the donation is unforgivable. It's not the sum given, but the move performed; its meaning, weight and significance, or god forbid, possible influence/setting of an example and consequences. We 're here to buy and play games; not cultivate genetic mutations and DISFIGURE said games, to match the twisted vision of unstable loonies.
I will certainly check the other, upcoming shooter, for sure. But i will first wait to see the dust settle down, before i decide on Ion Fury. My priority, is the people who helped/aided me; and those guys are VOIDPOINT, not 3D realms.
I <3 VOIDPOINT
I *_* 3D REALMS
1st bit above: Sounds reasonable.
2nd bit: They did it to shut them up, and yeah they should've ignored them but they panicked(which people do on occasion).
3rd bit: Let em have it....they can't even do much with it and it's all they will get from the devs. Think of it as the dev pitying the outrage mob and playing them like a fiddle.
4th bit: Ok then, but 3DRealms are still pretty decent(well the original guys and gals were....dunno if they are all still there or not).
5th bit: Both are ok in my book to varying degrees, but you do you. :)

tremere110: The dogpiling on 3DRealms/Voidpoint by various media outlets has begun. If they weather this without capitulating I'll buy their game.
But yes, this is why resetEra has power. Media outlets use that place to gauge outrage for clickbait. Just ignore them and they'll move on to the next clickbait trash.
Hell, these so called journalists don't even play your game - at least one keeps calling it 'Ion Storm'!
Some are already whining about it as if it's going to set all LGBT+ people back 100 years in terms of being accepted and treated fairly.
(Some sites say Polygon already is whining about it)

Linko64: Shoutout to the lack of moderation
Where? Here? If so, are you saying this thread needs moderation? And if so, why?
To me this is nothing and is at least contained in one thread. You should see the steam forums if you want lawlessness and a good example of lackluster(and alternatingly overbearing) moderation.
