Elmofongo: Well to them, its safer to not associate your brand with a name that is associated with Bigots.

And sadly GamerGate IS seen by the mainstream and the general public as a movement of Bigots lashing out against the "progressive and cultural marxist left, who they think are run by Subversive Jews, Tyrannical Femenists, Decedent LGBT people, and Anti-White hating Black and Brown people.

Its a lose, lose situation either way.

AgentBJ09: No it isn't, because ignoring these whiners was the way to win, and they didn't consider that.

Again, you do realize what you just said is legally speaking libel, which the people who got angry at the tombstone gag were very willing to throw around as an emotional dog whistle because they've done so with impunity for so long, yes? That's their MO, always has been.

And GOG not only fell for it, again, they echoed the mindset and agreed with them. Again, Bad Business 101.
Ugh, this is why I detest talking poltics, because nothing I say apperently has any merit and no one is standing up for me.

Look I just want GOG to survive because this site is a treasure trove of so many classic PC games that are now DRM FREE and in a digital world where everything requires a client and passwords and constant internet, this is a big thing. And personally I did not felt wronged by GOG's comments because really I don't care because I know who I am as person and just that knowledge that i know they are wrong, I shrugg off their comments.

You want GOG to survive? Push them to ignore the fools who complained in the first place. They're the reason this discussion is even happening.

Are you a regular in these forums because I have never seen your name before.

And I will turn against them when they remove games from my library for being not "progressive", or removing games from the store for that reason although less so if its a game I never cared about.

You think that "movement" is being run by someone? Heh. I highly doubt that centralized malicious intent would be a sensible explanation. It's probably more along the lines of distributed imbecility. The intellectual majority acting as it would.

AgentBJ09: Anyone with common sense can see all GOG needed to do was tell these complainers that it's none of their business and they're not interested. That's it.

narmando: Yes, absolutely, GOG unwittingly just invited the regressive left to make a playground out of GOG's ecosystem. A sad day for the gaming industry indeed.
Still trying o figure out what the hell the regressive left is.
Probably anybody who does not worship Donald Trump.

Better question: Do you think a higher post count makes your argument better?

I seem to recall ARacer asking you that yesterday and you ignored him, so why not answer the question this time?

Feel free to pretend GOG's response means nothing overall for the company otherwise.

The point system here is meaningless I agree.

And to answer that question, I geniunenly am asking why haven't I seen you in the General Forums often, and why only now? What prevented you from being a regular poster?

As someone who also hasn't posted here before: because I come here to buy games, not talk. But piss people off enough, and they'll let you know about it.

It is weirdly comforting to learn that Postal 2 news is at least causing an outrage in some other way. Would've seemed an affront to reality if Postal 2 news came and went without incident.

I'd be disappointed if the "handling" of this forum crisis isn't 24h/24 belly laughters throughout the gog offices.

I think the only people taking this whole thing super seriously are the people who are clearly flooding in from some random subreddit or chanboard to downvote everyone and post about how upset they are.

I never said that, nor did ARacer. Don't put words in our mouths.

No you're not. You're refusing to answer a simple question because it lets you skirt around asking something so dumb before.

So again, does a higher rep/post count mean your stance is superior? Yes or No?

No.

And I couldn't answer sooner because I had family visiting and was away from home.
