There´s nothing transphobic in the tweet, or in the Cyberpunk "Did you just assume my gender" tweet, pcmasterrace isn´t offensive, gamergate isn´t about harassment and the Postal 2 tweet was funny. Stop caving to the always offended mob, they´re not your customers.

GOG's costumers and fans are more diverse than you imagine.

Apart from you being months late, no one cares. This will probably be locked soon.
For those wondering what this is about:
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-10-23-gog-facing-twitter-backlash-again-after-insensitive-wontbeerased-tweet

The people GoG has kowtowed to in the past are now doxxing the employees and banning anyone who wants to purchase Cyberpunk from the resetEra forums.

[EDIT] I agree that the tweet was a stupid idea - not transphobic but still something stupid

Oh jeez, that was poorly thought out. Just completely tasteless.
Wait, if they stop caving in now, does that mean that they caved in to you because you were offended? So wouldn't they have to keep caving in when anyone is offended in order to stop caving in when anyone is offended?

OMG, logic bomb! Abandon ship! To the life boats! Women, children and Gods of Sarcasm first!

misteryo: GOG's costumers and fans are more diverse than you imagine.
Also this, your definition of "gamers" is hilariously narrow.

Hate to break it to you, this is a new one... https://www.resetera.com/threads/cdp-tweets-trash-tweet-about-trans-people-again-this-time-from-gog-read-op.76395

All the "The Gamers"-"movies" have been pulled already because of this tweet.

Phat respect to Linko (or whoever posted that tweet)! The movie section was an embarassing pile of shit anyway and could have used some decluttering.

At least GoG has learned something this time around. Their apology was a lot more flippant and they didn't apologize to resetEra - the ones posting employee addresses and threatening to send bombs, also banning anyone who profess to be GoG's customer.

Now if GoG could only learn not to post such things in the first place.

Stop giving GoG ideas of what tweets to use in the future! :p

Well it's resetera, what did you expect a calm and intelligent response ? :)

Concerning the "controversy", they saw a trending hashtag, used it in a tweet, discovered why it was trending, removed it.

In the real world peoples would have realized it was just a mistake and it would be the end of it, but it's not the case and you have the usual dummies going berserk, way too happy to have something new to be offended by, and of course you can can expect plenty of click baity articles from the usual sites on the subject too.... business as usual...

You know, I'm not even offended, I'm like...tired by this point. What's this? the third, fourth time they've pulled a stunt like this?

What was that last tweet? Saracasm? a Joke? Yeah, sure thing, buddy, sure thing. What's wrong with a lille transphobic banter between friends, right?

I'm nearly forty. I've supported GOG since it basically went online. It was quite a cool way to play some games I had experienced when I was young. I've spent more than 1000€ on this store.

I'm also very, very tired by these "jokes". I've stopped shopping some places IRL for much less.

Actually, you know what? You're right, I'm offended. Too bad, right?

But it's fine people, you can keep your "jokes",and I'll just keep my money.
