Unseelie_Sluagh: So has anyone heard about the developer, The Chinese Room, calling CD Projekt Red (the fine folks who own GOG) sexist because of the Cyberpunk 2077 image?

Zabohad: They made Dear Esther. Also the sequel of Amnesia that is on sale just now on GOG. Never played any of their games, not my cup of tea.
Just for the sake of fairness, they didn't call CD Project sexist. They express an opinion that Cyberpunk 2077 will be just as sexist as Witcher. Which - in my eyes - is a compliment rather than insult.

In my opinion, an off-hand remark of this kind is not worth of much attention. So someone is appalled that cyberpunk-themed game use cyberpunk-themed motives and aesthetic; fascinating. In other news, water is still wet. Lets not make another mountain out of a molehill.
What GG or related news really is wroth much attention nowadays?

For anyone interested. someone from CDPR replied about this on NeoGAF. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=202210981&postcount=829

I heard about that & since these people seem to confuse "sexy" with "sexist" I pretty much consider this free advertising (unintended) for Cyberpunk 2077

Really hard to tell, it depends on what means GG to you :-)
Some say it's all about ethical standards of game journalism, others see it as "SJW"-resistance movement, yet another enter the fray to save "hardcore gaming" from the plague of casualness and I am sure I forgot several other approaches.
At least nowadays "GG" is very fuzzy and vaguely defined concept, sometimes ALMOST as vague as "sexism" :-)))

Pretty sad reading, isn't it?
I mean, the first paragraph.
It follows the same line of though as TheChineseRoom: To do something sexist (no matter what the word "sexist" means in the context, if it means anything at all) is the most heinous crime, so being seen as sexist is the deepest shame and not denying being one is public suicide. The easiest way to clear yourself of the accusation is to advertise how many members of "minorities" are in your own team, because "social progress" is measured statistically; individual persons as individual persons do not matter.
And yes, the burden of proof in such cases is on the side of defendant.

WBGhiro: You're right, but it's always fun to point and laugh at silly people.
At this point mockery and derision is all that modern culture deserves.

Yeah I agree it is stupid why would CDPR defend against the accusation of being racis in the Witcher seriest for not having some black guy in ancient Poland or why would say have to mention they have tons of women and even trans people working at their place.
Don't say sorry make your vision and fuck whatever someone else thinks. The sales for the Witcher series should have spoken for themselves. The SJW diverse garbage non games never sell.
There should be only one reason because things are as they are in your media, and thats because you want them to be.
The same goes for devs I don't like either like Beamdog the market will sort it out.

Yes.
Seems to be more of an industry watchdog now than anything else. Netscape's videos are blessedly short and usually cover matters of very little consequence. Haven't checked Deep Freeze in a while.

Becuase most part of American and British SJW movements have deep rotten puritan roots. It´s very funny to see them talking about cultural appropiation without even realize where their shit is coming from. This is why they can be "intersectional feminists" with the Middle East, and approve burqas but then judge China, Korea or Japan and their culture focused on beuty as "sexist" when they see a woman dressing sexy clothes.

Sick people, sick logic.

Like calling a whole lot of enthusiastically sex-positive people "puritan" by default, and when that glove inevitably bursts, switch to "paedophile" without skipping a beat.

That way, they always weigh the same as a duck, I guess.

''Enthusiastically sex positive'' except the times when they're not.
