First off, it has now been confirmed by two different people now including a legitimate journalist. I also ran across a post from last Thursday claiming to know he was fired 10 hours after the Tweet.

As to Fables, she kinda sucked as a Community Manager. She let the "alt-right Nazi, orange man bad" brigade close every political thread they disliked while she let these fools run rampant. She promised to look into fixing the de-repping problem and accomplished nothing. No one said anything, because she really wasn't very good at her job.

Linko, on the other hand, had this place looking pretty nice for a change.

As to you and others trying to claim Linko kept causing PR disasters, you are really stretching the truth.

The PC Master Race debacle from Dec 2017 predated Linko, not to mention that IS the name of the group and that this group has nothing to do with white supremacy at all. This was GoGs first mistake. They caved over something that clearly was not wrong at all. It's like saying the person who created hard drives supports slavery because he used the terms Master and Slave. This controversy was complete bs and didn't involve Linko at all.

The next PR "problem" was the "Did you just assume our gender" tweet in response to someone tweeting in all caps "I WANT MORE GUYS". This came from the Cyberpunk 2077 account, not GoG.com and very probably had nothing at all to do with Linko at all.

Or how about the Postal 2: Paradise Lost tweet? The only thing the offenditrons complained about is the video clip straight from the game. Do you know whether Linko picked that clip? The tweet itself wasn't offensive at all. And its pretty clear these people were going to complain about any advertising of that game the same way they went after Kingdom Come.

So for all you jerks claiming Linko did such a terrible job and was a repeat offender. You need to get your darn facts straight or you all start looking like idiots.

Hijacking a hashtag, is the only action that is even marginally offensive. But the content of the Tweet wasn't at all. Should that be enough for someone to be fired? I sure see a lot of "PR people" not getting fired for worse when they write articles calling gamers "entitled" "Basement dwelling neckbeards" and all sorts of other names. Not a single one of them ever gets fired, so why should a Community Manager over one problematic tweet who seemed to be doing the best job on the forums anyone has seen yet?

I'll repeat it again. I hope each and every one of you who thinks Linko "deserved it" gets fired from your jobs for an innocent mistake. Then you will learn what it feels like. People make mistakes. Linko didn't make "tons of repeated" mistakes. That's a completely false narrative. You people keep buying into the false statements of the hate mob. Some of you people are the least compassionate people I have ever seen in my life.

Its not been confirmed lets get that sraight. These two people most likely heard it online like we all have. As for the legitimate journalist, firstly its a journalist also the peeple who claim to know people get it wrong. As you should of learnt by now in this day alot you hear online is false.

Until we hear it officially we dont know. Its all speculation and rumor.

Let me guess. :D

They said they talked to either Linko himself or a source with GoG. That's the very definition of CONFIRMED! C'mon, present your better evidence...seriously. Some of you people seem to be a few brain cells short of a dozen...

So you're going by someone who said online they talked to Linko or a source?

Thats nothing.

If I said I talked to Linko, and GOG regarding this would you belive me? Most likely not. Jeeze stop spouting nothing as CONFIRMED! Cause its not anyone can say anything online.

No. The difference is that the big outrage mob that haunt these forums (basically gamergate freaks) didn't see in Fables anything that resonated with them. With Linko, they can feel oppressed ("oh noes, transphobia is censored by the PC brigade") while hypocritically presenting their involvement as neutral ("it wasn't even transphobic, we only care for free speech and victimized gog mods in general"). It's very clear from their vocabulary and angle ("help help, SJW cucks are after us") that in order for them to lift their outraged finger, the victim's profile has to be different from Fable's.

If Linko had been fired for a tweet that, instead of being exaggerately interpreted as transphobic, had been exaggerately interpreted as anti-Trump or anti-gamergate, virtually none of these "free speech defenders" would have reacted at all.

I totally get that and not make a comment on that as it will most likely get into a massive row as theres been enough of that. But thanks for the reply.

It's far more than what you know. If I use your criteria, no one was ever fired from anywhere I have ever worked. I mean, management never announces it, even if we know what they did to get fired. You are just being a fool.

TheQuartering says he talked to Linko himself. Ian Miles Cheong says he talked to a source within GoG. A forum post I saw said he was fired 10 hours after the tweet. Either all 3 of these people are lying, or its the truth.

I find it truly amazing how dumb someone must be to believe there is this conspiracy theory where journalists will directly lie to the public. And when more than one, from different sources are saying it, you are still too stupid to believe it.

Yup.

As wrote in another thread; imagine if GOG took the Netflix/Blizzard/EA way and started erasing negative feedback...

That would surely be disastrous... O_o

As for Linko; If he went away in free will then by all means - I understand his right to have some privacy. BUT, if I had a steady costumer manager at Amazon f.ex which I talked to regularly, I would definitely have have wondered what the heck had happened if this costumer manager suddenly just disappeared. I mean, we haven't had any contact with the blues for a loooong time before Linko showed up, at least not regularly.

Assuming he was laid off;
I'm seriously questioning the judgement of certain individuals in power to whether or not they are even fit be in their position, when they allow this sickness to be spread... I haven't seen a single shred of rational evidence (note the word: evidence!) that Linko was unfit for his position.

If we constantly need to police everything we say and do then I wholeheartedly welcome another bloody revolution to clean up this social sickness.

ITs not more than I know. You don't know these people offline chances are. We arn't talking about where you worked, and your right they don't announce it so we will never know.

Ok so those us like me who don't know who your talking about lets break it down:

TheQuartering is a Youtuber. They are going to know about as much as us. Take anything they say with a grain of sault as they can spew alot of rubbish more so the most popular ones which they seem to be.

Ian Miles Cheong is also a Youtuber, and pretty much the same above.

As for this forum post feel free to post.

So your only two real posts are from YouTubers. Yeah.

Lol, "journalists".

Do you actually believe everything someone else says/states? How would that sort of evidence hold up in Court?

Two youtubers with big ol' agendas at that. Strange how the only sources are redpill nutbags, it's almost as if they're stirring controversy up to further their agendas.

No, they'd never do that! ;)

Well, I talked with my source within gOg, and she said that Linko did not get fired, but he quit. Linko told her he would do so, he was fed up basically, a couple of weeks earlier, while they had a drink in a pub. I think she said it was in the Belgian Elephant pub they had this talk.

Well,this could have credibility as there is a pub with that name.yuk yuk yuk.
