Today it's a tweet. Tomorrow it's a game. Where will it end? Good Old Games, as this place was once called, that hailed from a different era, may also offend and chafe against our current year fashions and sensibilities. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Hunter65536: Ah I get it now, the way I saw it before it seemed like GOG tweeted then apologised before backlash and replies by other people to terry crews gif weren’t visible straight away which infused me.
Which is ironic in itself since Terry Crews was deeply involved in the "PC Master Race" community when he built his first gaming PC and even uses the term himself...

But because most people probally don't know that they see a black guy and the term master race and are immediately offended.

Well, I'm definitely disappointed that GOG (or at leas the person in charge of their social media) thinks that enjoying PC gaming is something to apologize for and be ashamed of. Why is every company so hell bent on being assholes to their customers these days?

dark___devil: Fascinating how GOG decided to insult their customers in the name of a few permanently offended twitter snowflakes that don't even use your platform. It seems GOG's biggest market share is on consoles and tone-deaf PC users are minority of their consumer base.

I am not offended at this insult or want some apology,i am just sad and disappointed that GOG is bending the knee to a social bullies and terrorists. All this stupidity leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth. I am not some big spender,i am from Eastern Europa and money are not raining from the sky. I do support games that i like when i come by the money. Still this few days i will go with supporting the local pub instead,at least they have some backbone and deliver nice jokes without calling you tone-deaf.

DMTrev: So your answer to someone taking offence at an innocuous tweet is to be outraged at the followup innocuous tweet?

It's almost like everyone is looking for a reason to get their nose out of joint these days.
Or, you know, companies in the last few years have a history of pissing on their customers. GOG just tweeted that enjoying PC gaming is offensive and should be apologized for. Would you be OK with the company that makes you car saying that driving one of their vehicles is offensive and you should be ashamed for driving one?

-1 to OP for starting a thread without context, explanation or links. Another -1 for reminding everyone of the existence of twitter, the place of perpetual outrage.

Yep I followed Terry Crews during that time, makes their reactions feel pretty silly I agree.
is there going to be release tomorrow since the sale is finally ending and we haven't had a release really since it started?
am I supposed to be outraged at something again? I am willing to withe boycott or support whatever, just tell me what. and I like snowflakes, they are pretty. can I be a snowflake?

Meh, I see nothing wrong with the PCMR thing...

Maou-san: Meh, I see nothing wrong with the PCMR thing...
Me either, since just about anyone can "belong" to it - a $100 used PC or a free hand-me-down is the base price of admission.

The only "race" part of I that I know about is the race to spend more money on hardware and games.
PC master race for the win! PC is the only system which can emulate consoles... Consoles can not emulate PC. We are the pc master race. Anybody who is offended, they are rightfully offended; because they are inferior and by getting offended, they actually admit that much! PC MASTER RACE!!!
*Looks at the twitter posts*

Oh right, the PC Mustard Space thing. Meh, seemed pretty harmless at best.
Hm I actually find the twitter quite humorous, not sure why people would be offended by this. It's been a running joke for years now, were there really people insulted by this? It's not like anyone is serious when they say this anyway.
Thank you for reminding me why I don't use twitter.
