I can't wait to digitally self-flagellate by watching this, typing up a detailed and sincere response to various issues and concerns I have with the presented content, only to be accused of tone-policing and concern trolling.

Mmh, hurt me good leftist twitter.

OOF, those are some cringe logic videos.

If y'all ever wonder why some of these fools all make the same logic mistakes, it's because they treat YouTube trash like this as gospel.

Of course the thread is by RedMercury. He's the kind of person that seems to do nothing but repeat what he heard someone else say

First response.

The only way I see to get around the fact that a shitload of good games are being released these days is to work toward a more dignified society where individual developers no longer need their game to win the viral roulette in order to be able to afford health care and a roof over their head. 🤷
 

That's not even a solution. Making cash isn't the only reason why you'd want your work to be successful and reach as many people as possible

You aren't entitled to stream a game nor should they have to cater to people who think they do, though. You can do your research about the game, no need for a disclaimer for .0001% of people who have this concern.

It seems only when it comes to Epic Game Store is trickle down economics a viable discussion point on Era. Any other topic and it's rightfully laughed out of the room.

It would be fucking hilarious that people are parroting these talking points if it wasn't sad and concerning.

big nope. era doesnt care about the idea, they care about the person saying it. try any dem2020 thread.

Lol Fuck off.

What a lying piece of shit. Why I should believe anything that come from your mouth Tim after all the BS your company pulled. Also I guess, gamers from non-western regions can go fuck themselves with some of your store's bs policies but hey "it's good for the industry!"

LOL

Well at least sweetnicole lets people speak freely about EGS (for now). imagine if you swapped out Tim for e.g. Jason Schreier. Immediate ban for villifying game journos. hey, it would be a shame if people started reporting these posts and they got actioned...

I had a few weeks where i was really worried, but thankfully i am now doing ok, i am making about 60% of what i used to make, but at least when i get home and look my girlfriend in the eyes, i know i did the right thing, even thought she never for once told me what i should do and always supports me.

They're most likely talking about aluminium in a different form. I can't imagine drinking from a coke can releasing a lot of aluminium. The processed foods inside are probably worse for you.

Fuck all of that, imagine dropping 40% of your income because of a joke, if I had to drop every client that made an off-color joke or was otherwise distasteful I'd... well I'd be fired because I don't work independently but you get the idea.

I appreciate dude take a principled stand but I gotta think about me and mine in that kind of situation... unless they made a racist joke then I'd have to say something.

i just(a few weeks ago) lost my income from my biggest client who brought in about 30k per year. this might not seem a lot to you,

wut

[Jansen]

Filthy poors thinking 30k is a lot

[Cauliflower Of Love]

lol, he could have told that story without mentioning $30k

Yeah but then he/she couldn't have brought up the 8K refund.

no I would definitely remembered and probably even went back to start a conversation with why he said it. I think they where asking if i was ok something along the lines of: are you feeling unwell i think, i honestly dont remember it.

CCTV from scene:

I just realized dude thinks of his clients as his boss and not his customers. So instead of taking dude's money, he gave away whatever work he already did for FREE to a myso no less!

Wouldn't it be more impactful if they had spoken up at the time and stood up for their principles in the moment?

As it is, the people who were dropped probably just think Redfirm is a crazy unreliable person who wasted their time. Also, refunding the current project money is definitely NOT a way to protect yourself from a lawsuit because damages of a broken contract like this may not just be monetary.

I'm going with a /r/thathappened for this one.

[Jansen]

They’ll know who I am once I post this here so I’ll update you guys if they ban me from the server for sharing this exchange:

This exchange occurred in the Official CDPR CyberPunk 2077 Discord. Some of you may think it’s whatever but I thought the way this topic slid by was disappointing. Does every dev need to make comments on their stances? No - But once asked directly? Should they be willing to take a stance? I think so.

Apolitical stances are a defense of the status quo and they’re far more tiring than the small effort to be progressive.

Let’s talk CD Projekt history-

We know they issued no apology and fired the guy who did the GoG transphobic joke, and it went down allegedly like this (https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-12-05-troubling-gog-tweets-a-fired-cd-projekt-employee-and-the-spectre-of-gamergate):


That wasn’t the only bad tweet from GoG - they also tweeted a GamerGate supporting meme.

And do recall, CyberPunk 2077’s account tweeted a joke about trans issues as well - and we have no idea what the consequence was for them to correct it internally so that person may still be on the team unless we know otherwise for that account now (https://kotaku.com/cyberpunk-2077-tweets-transphobic-joke-studio-apologiz-1828502562):


Maybe we got off on the wrong foot 3 times, CD Projekt.

But then we get some 2018 CyberPunk 2077 info and there’s troubling screenshots and depictions of minorities. They’re from a womanizing street gang, they’re a criminal technician in your ear, they’re stereotypical convenience store owners and taxi drivers.

This screenshot has come up many times as stereotypical:

So the discussion arises in their discord:

Anyway, first the comment posted there - then the dev response is in red, and the mods are the blue user and the purple user.

Gotta start shit for outrage!!!!!

[Jansen]

I will always bring this up in any and all CDPR threads. This is a company wide culture at this point.

If you buy thier games, you are supporting a company that gleefully profits off of the marginalization of oppressed minorities. Full stop.

I'll think about this an laff as I enjoy cyberpunk

I am. even if he's telling the complete truth he's a dumbass for getting heated and dropping the contract instead of taking the sexist's money and donating it to planned parenthood or a womens' shelter or something productive. I promise you the next guy who will take the money won't be so generous. All he's done is lose money to earn kudos from a video game forum who hates video games.

CDPR is a Polish company. Poland is a country currently governed by a far-right basically fascist party. The type of party that is very popular with white men. White men are overrepresented in game companies.

Yeah cyberpunk is gonna make me build a new rig. My 2012 rig with a 3770k and a 1080ti and 16 GB of ram is hitting bottlenecks with CPU and RAM. I'll build a ridiculous rig and the game at rtm will still probably struggle, but CDPR will keep performance patching it and it'll run 60fps within a year.

OP breaks it down for you morons not good enough to pull off black ops in official video game discords:

The other is that a mod they have, who I believe is unpaid, said something shitty.
