OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION

Everyone is welcome to criticize THQ Nordiq for any past mistakes. Users should not try to police or backseat mod the thread by claiming such posts do not belong here. Please do not dismiss concerns about these issues, either.

However, please do not make accusations against your fellow community members simply because they are still interested in discussing their products or announcements.

Posts that violate any of these rules will be moderated.

I am eager to help JayC3

here are some posts that violated these rules and have not yet been properly moderated

Start with the OP, because a thread created about such a scumbag company WITHOUT mentioning 8chan in the OP is created disingenuously to dismiss those concerns, it's an attempt to fly under the radar and Not Talk About It

Then this post:

Nice.
Oh and I'm also waiting that Diggeh guy and his long ass copy/paste post.

dude doesn't even have an avatar and Diggeh even recognizes it as being dismissive:

Sorry to keep you waiting. Perhaps if you read the actual post you would know that it's not something to be dismissive about. This is a serious issue to discuss that requires a formal summary, but I guess you won't be reading this either.

This post with a link to the apology is an attempt to downplay and dismiss concerns:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vg247.com/2019/03/05/thq-nordic-group-ceo-apology-letter-8chan-ama/amp/

SantaC continues downplaying over a series of posts:

⁶

should we put a disclaimer on every dq thread that sugiyama is a racist war crime denier?

also note the tiny 6 superscript which is a dogwhistle channers have started including in their posts to signal to others

this other post parrots out the apology too, as if it's good enough:

https://wccftech.com/thq-nordic-8chan-ama-apology/

you can give some clemency to the earlier posts before everyone was reminded about the Incident again, and maybe to posts mentioning specific games, but this kind of shit is an obvious attempt to make a statement in solidarity with those who want everyone else to shut up about it:

Amazing, can't wait, extremely hyped to hear more!

https://www.resetera.com/threads/thq-nordic-to-reveal-3-new-games-between-june-5-7-see-staff-post.120842/post-21416110

https://www.resetera.com/threads/thq-nordic-to-reveal-3-new-games-between-june-5-7-see-staff-post.120842/post-21417402

Sweet I'm excited to see what they have

https://www.resetera.com/threads/thq-nordic-to-reveal-3-new-games-between-june-5-7-see-staff-post.120842/post-21417580

Here we go! Can’t wait!

This is clearly being dismissive of concerns and downplaying the link between THQ and Ms. Galaxy's horrible past:

Whilst it’s absolutely horrendous what happened to this poster, and them or anybody is entitled to not give them their money, to call this even tangentially related would be a stretch.

more dismissiveness:

Pretty sure everyone knows by now and is already at whatever mentality they will be with it at this point, so it's more like preaching to the converted or an atheist. I know some people were dying to call out other users but that seems off limits too.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/thq-nordic-to-reveal-3-new-games-between-june-5-7-see-staff-post.120842/post-21420183

Looking forward to their games.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/thq-nordic-to-reveal-3-new-games-between-june-5-7-see-staff-post.120842/post-21420745

Three new games? Very cool.

This is super sarcastic "talking around you" nonsense, OhNo indeed with this merry exchange:

Are we excited then gu--oh, oh we're not huh? I guess we're really not!

*inserts there are dozens of us meme*. I completely understand why people dislike them, though. I just like video games and consume it wherever. The industry is so massive as is.

Couldn't agree more!

Downplaying:

So any dev owned by them is also racist by association now? That makes total sense.

Mushroomer25's argument that some of these posts should not belong here, as expressly forbidden by moderator JayC3:

What we have now is just an ongoing flame war disguised as relevant discussion.

he then goes on to argue semantics about what is being said for an entire page

fanboy needs to be banned please:

Every fuckimg thread regarding thq is going to be boringly filled with neverending hate.

We get it. They fucked up real bad, we hate them, but can we discuss their games please? If you are boycoting them or just ignore all their stuff from now on, good for you. But pls, dont do this in every fucking thread... it must be so awesome for devs of these games to never really read anything positive about their game without tons of hate and messages of boycot of their games. Its not like thq doesnt deserve it. Its more like plenty are bored of that same posts from 30 other threads.

SmokingBun either correctly points out that OP should be banned or makes the illegal claim that some of these posts don't belong here, I'm not sure which:

Wait! Why are we signal boosting a Nazi studio?

I'm just glad to help the moderation staff in their efforts

Despite this he's putting his real(?) face out there. For what purpose? Twitter popularity contest? I really don't care about him leaking numbers, but to try to get others to treat you like some special e-celeb for your "hot scoops" is gross AF. He wants to be treated like a "insider", whatever that fucking means.

Also who the fuck gives a shit about highly speculative numbers like they're some "hot scoop", that shit is for stock traders and totally irrelevant to consumers. Just franchise/console fanboy fodder, really.

NPD guy is presumably doing sharing the information via youtube and twitter with the company's blessing. It's PR for the company. Mat Piscatella never releases specific hardware numbers such, as specific to the company's sales numbers. Here's an example posted below. Benji seems to be flying off the handle off his own.

https://twitter.com/MatPiscatella/status/1130960541835415552

[team filler]

 

[ResetBanBot]

I don't know anything about Mat, other than his bio says he works for the NPD Group. Clearly he's just putting out information based on the NPD numbers, with approval from his bosses. NPD pays money for that data (which Benji might be leaking), NPD then packages it all together and resells it to people who are interested in paying for it (like stock traders). Usually people who engage in corporate espionage are doing it for cash or the PRC, not for twitter followers. Not that his data should be trusted at all, since we have no context or origin for that data, but it might find its way into some trader rumor mill and get confused for "real numbers".

Didn't ResetEra ban the actual NPD numbers since it's proprietary data and basically a form of intellectual property infringement? How is adding an additional layer of corporate espionage on top of that make it any better?

I'm about 50/50 on him either being full of shit and guessing or sharing shit he's not supposed to for e-peen. either way it's hilariously pathetic

[Lonewulfeus]

This strike anyone else as weird? Kind of infantilising?

Kids (minors) are bullied. Adults can be coerced, harassed, assaulted, demeaned, etc. But not really “bullied”.

Seems like the term gets thrown around sometimes for “people saying stuff to me that I don’t like”. Which isn’t bullying, because if you’re an adult, and it’s not physical or harassing behaviour... you block, you ignore, or you otherwise handle it. Or you call the cops for charges and restraining orders.

Thoughts?

I think it's good to stuff fascists in lockers, but usually lockers aren't around, so a good punch in the face and a kick in the teeth can serve instead.

[VomKriege]

It's a brave new world of new careers, jobs & avenues, I would imagine Benji thinks he's laying ground work to move up, perhaps to the press or as an analyst, certainly as an "influencer". It's not that preposterous that it could work in spite of all the misgivings I agree with, there's sort of a cottage industry for "content creators" (noise generators) which are just a step above a complete amateur to fill the Twitter-Youtube-Etc tubes. Fake it till you make it is not exactly a new thing. I wholeheartedly agree those sales info
are often not terribly useful to consumers if not straight up pushing narrative PR using a morcel of information, bit there's no denying there's an audience for that.

Oh and for the e-peen too obviously.

I didn't know about the other guy working at NPD, that's interesting. Looks like a way for NPD to mitigate the appeal of unsanctioned leaks and perhaps dipping toes in all that viral stuff kids do.

Having said that, this might be the last straw for me with them:

They recently did a video about if Cops can spot people using weed. And I don't need to explain how fucked up this is.
While I get the premise is supposed to just be tongue and cheek, this completely makes light of how many people have been arrested for drug charges, as well as how cops have abused this, especially among people of color. So yeah....

Seriously, fuck them.

I'm not saying that at all - but this dude is a 56 year old who was clearly surfing the end of his career in what he considered an easy gig (school cop) into retirement, being treated like he should have been a one man SWAT team against someone a third his age with a semi-automatic rifle.

I don't see how you can reasonably expect police to not have itchy trigger fingers and shoot first at any assumption of a weapon, if you're simultaneously expecting police to John Mclane into any situation where firearms might be present.
Other countries don't have this problem, because other countries having a beat cop encounter a dude with fucking military level weaponry expect that cop not to engage, and to call for armed backup, who are trained and equipped to deal with it. They don't blame someone for not diving in with their pistol and becoming An Hero when they're clearly outmatched, and the blame for the crime is entirely on the shooters head, not whichever schlub was unlucky enough for it to happen on his beat.

How do you complain about the militarisation of civilian police forces, while simultaneously complaining they don't act enough like soldiers?
