News articles do exist thankfully, the only reason I know about 8chan is because it was huge around the Gamergate shit

The idea that someone wants a website less restrictive than 4chan is already pretty  but that article you linked says:

Brennan, a 4chan user since age 12, started 8chan in October 2013 after taking mushrooms and dreaming up a “free speech friendly 4chan alternative.” Like 4chan, Brennan’s forums would be anonymous communities where users could post text and images in nested, themed comment threads. But unlike 4chan, Brennan promised, his Internet utopia would allow anything and everything — provided only that it didn’t violate U.S. law.

and

Brennan and his supporters — of whom there are many — point out that this is, legally, their right. Under the Communications Decency Act, a ’90s law that basically paved the way for free speech online, Web site administrators are not legally responsible for what their users post, no matter how gross their posts get.
There are only two exceptions — copyrighted content and child porn — and 8chan claims to police those things closely.

so 

I'm equally as inclined to believe Era are hugely overstating how terrible somewhere is as they clutch their pearls and I am to believe they're salty as fuck that an internet cesspit holds more game developer kudos than their progressive lighthouse does

Hint: 8chan was delisted from google because they didn't police child porn

[HaughtyFrank]

I have scaled the pinnacle of Mount Take, and returned with this spicy jalapeño:

THQ Nordic is in direct competition to GOG and CDPR it seems.

There goes any hope that this would put in perspective how harmless those tweets by CDPR were

[Jenkem]

please don't let facts get in the way of outrage culture, marrec debuts his new comedy routine tonight. 

[Boredfrom]

I find ERA's rage Hillaryous but yeah, probably not the wisest PR move by THQ Nordic for sure.

Of course not, but their incompetence was already clear with the Metro debacle so I don’t feel bad about them.

[marrec]

Hey, sorry I don't like your image board that was *checks notes* delisted from google for hosting child porn

[stufte]

Why does marrec know so much about a pedo haven? I'm side-eyeing you fiercely RN.

[Vertigo]

Article from 2015

Meanwhile Jenkem says the worst stuff was purged long ago?

Like maybe 3-4 years ago?

Oh they only hosted child porn 3-4 years ago I guess it's okay

Some of y'all really clapping for 8chan in here?

Damn... ERA derangement syndrome is real

I'll say at launch it was the wild west. And there were some very dodgy subforums being created.

But now? If you were into sick shit like that I'm not sure 8 chan would be where you would be going. Nobody wants that kind of heat.

Apart from the usual questionable animated loli stuff and the 'alt right' slant it's pretty tame

Old school 4chan, now that was crazy.

[Uncle]

What does it say about Google when a site like Twitter can openly endorse loli/shota art for a decade and they never delisted it once

[Boredfrom]

Damn not even PlayAsia went as far as holding an AMA with right wing pedophiles lmao

I suppose because they actually like to make money, Marrec.

THQ seems to be legit mismanaged.

The PlayAsia "own the libs" gambit backfired on them tho, so they can't like to make money that much.

Hey Marrec, genuine question, why do you think that the DOA fiasco backfired to PlayAsia? There is news about it and Plu Asia made  a apology or was because Gaf told you that it did?

[Raist]

I didn't know 8chan existed until today.

Jussie is that you?

[Rufus]

I find ERA's rage Hillaryous but yeah, probably not the wisest PR move by THQ Nordic for sure.

Of course not, but their incompetence was already clear with the Metro debacle so I don’t feel bad about them.

Do they think the venn diagram of Epic exclusivity pitchforkers and 8chan users is a circle?

No real reason to think so other than this happening 'right after', but still...

That Falconbox dude is about to discover his history of histories.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Hint: 8chan was delisted from google because they didn't police child porn

Hey, I'm not denying that probably happened, because even as an ardent defender of the concept of free speech the idea that someone is saying "man, 4chan is some authoritarian bullshit, you can't say anything there" has me raising an eyebrow, but 5 year old receipts is pretty weak sauce.
5 years in internet time is like, bringing up shit from the turn of the 19th century in real time.

[marrec]

Look, I'm not jacked into the fucking matrix like you guys, this niche shit is psychologically toxic. I read this forum and some left wing news sites, how am I supposed to come into contact with 8chan?

It would be hard since they were delisted from google for *checks notes* hosting child porn.

I'm suddenly glad I don't own any of their games.
I liked this company so much.

I almost bought Battle Chasers on a sale a while ago.

stay safe

           is this doxxing and offsite detective work?

[nachobro]

is that Battle Chasers game any good btw? i remember liking the comic back in the day.

Being honest, this has more to do with Gamergate drama than genuine concern. Not that it was not stupid for the PR to do this.

Dumbass PR

All of the above.

The metro stuff seems more scummy than a PR having a meltdown.

[stufte]

lol even people on KiA are weighing in against this:

I enjoy all the salt on twitter and all but ...

What's the point of this movement from THQ Nordic ?

They truly expect to be able to communicate something at 8ch . net ?

The potential legitimate questions will be buried by trolling in no time ...

Amir0x's eyes in that pic make me genuinely sad. They're the eyes of a man who knows he's completely done. His life is going to be a living hell from here on out.

Obviously he should have thought of that before he downloaded abhorrent shit, but it still freaks me out seeing that kind of absolute anguish.

What does his mouth tell you

And I got an opportunity to suggest that marrec was a pedo supporter, so that's nice.

I also wish that THQ executives were not scummy assholes that throw developers under the buss, but people seem more concerned about the Edgelord PR.

He made a mistake. People make mistakes.

I wonder how many ResetEra members would be employed if we used the same standards on other jobs that we do on gaming jobs.
"I'm sorry, I accidently scanned the product twice" - FIRED
"I'm sorry, I forgot to cancel our 8 o clock" - FIRED
"Oops I accidently wired all the salaries with a zero missing" - FIRED
"OH dear, I missed the bus stop" - FIRED


No one was hurt. It was a dumb idea but hilarious. So why fire the guy for giving us all a good time.

A niche video game exporter store walled themselves with supporting one of their most successful exports.

RE is back again to throwing an entire company under the bus for one guys fuckup. Business as usual

Yes he made a "mistake" of course

Getting caught is always a mistake.

Calm down marrec, you sound like one of those unhinged posters on ResetEra.

Getting caught for being a total idiot?

He deserves to be fired but dunno what he got “caught about”?

marrec is so fucking focused on being outraged about this 'pedo website'

very familiar 

[Uncle]

He was caught the same way a certain Mr. Neeson was caught for his crimes

The best way in 2019 to get away with something insidious and sneaky is to do it in plain sight in front of the entire internet
