Sure you haven’t. Now put down the 5k VR headset and get back to reality.

1·1 day agoIf any group complaining about something makes it “controversial”, then everything is controversial and the word loses all meaning.

1·2 days agoThey do have an “Owners” forum (the default is the Non-Owners for those who don’t own the game). I imagine the non-owners forum is there to provide an opportunity for non-owners to ask genuine questions about the game, but that obviously isn’t happening. Maybe you’re right and they should just make it owners only. I don’t know if it would be visible to others though.

2·2 days agoThe forums are just full of bigotted trolls who want to see the game fail.

2·2 days agoIt “controversial” because racists and bigots made it that way. There was no controversy about other heist games, there’s no “controversy” about games with all-white characters. But put in a diverse group of character, that steal back what was stolen and suddenly that’s “controversial”.

102·3 days agoSure, I won’t travel to Gaza and say “wow, so many dead people here” and act surprised, but if I stumble upon a dead body on a playground, you betcha it’s at least a little surprising.

41·3 days agoOr it becomes a popular trolling target with a cry of “they can’t take us all down” and it gets worse.
No wonder the world consumes 3.5 earths a year. It’s all the fucking yanks ramming food down their gullets.
42 libraries per year is still insane.

403·3 days agoFor anybody saying “it’s not a problem, just moderate it yourself”, look at Relooted’s steam forum. There are more than 700 threads there and most of them are really not kind. Tell me how you’re going to moderate that.
Just put yourself in the shoes of game publishers or studios that make a game which goes against the grind and gets attacked like Relooted is being attacked. Would you want to employ somebody just to moderate the forums? Should the onus be on the forum owners or should it be on the forum providers (Valve)? Do you think this has no effect on the types of games being released?
I mean, look at this game Tyrone vs Cops 2. Is this OK? What do you think the forum discussions look like. Are they OK? If it’s only devs that should moderate their forums, that means the KKK could make game about water lillies and then have their forums be the meeting ground for white power discussions. They won’t be offended after-all. That’s OK?

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Drops Bombshell: Trump ‘Fought the Hardest’ to Bury Epstein Files, Warns MAGA It Was No Hoax
3·5 days agoNow that’s a take on this news. Wow.
Gamergate was such a wild time. SJWs suddenly started picking apart games for anything they considered offensive. Now nazi-snowflakes are picking apart games for anything they consider “woke” or DEI. “hurrduur, it has one non-white, must be wOKe”. The pendulum has swung the other way and maybe in 10 years it’ll be back at “ermagerd, her b**bs are too big, that’s sexist!”.
