Redmerc still wants blood.

So the people that worked on the game who made those comments or inserted those things in the game are fired? Did the money come from them? Do they still see profit from the game? It's a good apology but at the same time it shouldn't turn into "I guess it's okay to buy the game now" if those people are still involved.

lol, fuck off RedMercury (since I'm sure you namesearch yourself) you giant loser. You absolute nobody.

Good news for Ion Fury though, with all that exposure and all those people saying they would have definitely bought it if it weren't for the devs attitude, they'll definitely see a huge spike in sales now they apologised

Zero-tolerance policy moving forward? Good. Then moving forward, I will consider buying future products. But I won't be buying Ion Fury.

Sounds like there's no penalties involved for the offending parties (aside from mandatory "training").

The donation is nice but if the bigots are still working there, I won't be supporting them.

Like they would have to begin with. Never apologize. Ever.

1. Uses a lot of water, if you don't use very much then it looks like shit and everyone judges you. Major water waste area here.
2. Produces a lot of CO2 because of lawn mowing. And if you don't mow very much then it looks like shit and everyone judges you.
3. Lawn mowing is pretty freaking dangerous for a household vanity activity.
4. Even if you manage to make your lawn look good, it will manage to look like 10 different yards in the neighborhood and provide little to no individuality.

 

1) get Bermuda grass if it’s that big an issue with water. It retains better, goes dormant in the winter and handles drought well
2) well they sell electric mowers and they are hardly the piece of shits they used to be, and of course people judge you, it shows you don’t give a shit about you land and house, much less your neighbors
3) yeah, because you hear weekly about all those mower deaths
4) I’m all about community, but you just better hand it to me, I don’t want to work at it. Apparently this dickhole never heard of a thing caused landscaping, beds, and more.

I mean what the fuck with these tools?

Let's be real for a second, the apology is not for the ERA commissars and I would imagine that if 3DRealms made one including training and a donation, they felt they had to.

Blood for the blood god

I mean, don’t they see what happens?

“Fire the workers who did this!”
“Okay, Fire the managers who allowed this to happen!”
“Okay, what about the Publisher to distributed it?!”
“It’s just emblematic of Gamer Culture!”

It’s the inverse of shit rolling downhill, in this situation an apology just takes the lid off letting it all boil over.

[Uncle]

the main thing that sucks is discord is really fun when you end up getting to chat with game developers and you can't argue that this doesn't have a chilling effect on devs wanting to speak to anyone at all for fear of damaging their brand/sales, especially small indies

"look at these chatlogs he said gypped and also used the word bitching to mean complaining"

[VomKriege]

I just hope no one starts trying to put any pressure on those who decide they still don’t want to support the game.

Well, yes. But it feels like a wrong move given how little traction this had, probably people discovering the in game slurs was the real cause to them to panic, but I dunno if patching the game is a good action (unless there is way worse stuff hidden).

Anyone can draft up an apology

It's funny, because I don't think redmercury ever has

Funny how RedMerc adamantly denies that cancel culture exists, yet continually posts shit that can be exactly described as cancel culture.

[benjipwns]

The apology is better than expected; the mandatory sensitivity training and the donation are definitely leagues better than the usual B.P. "We're Sorry." that most people give when they do shit like this.

As for the rabid "centrists" who will rant, rave and 'Reeee' because of the apology.

Who cares, fuck em.

Thanks for being the condescending person we need in this thread. The fact of the matter is, when billions are at stake nothing is left to chance of human behavior as you suggest

You and the industry frankly hasn't earned the right to be taken at your word.

Nothing you've said so far, outside of your extreme interest you've taken in this thread spinning a specific narrative, is convincing outside of the circle talk and damage control.

So Mr designer, please give us more than nonesense posts asking us to believe you.

User Banned (Permanent): Dismissing concerns surronding transphobia and homophobia, previous infraction for sexist trolling

I personally believe this whole thing is being blown out of proportion.

I can't necessarily defend their choice of words, but I feel that some of the things they said have some merit, i.e. cancel-culture is bad and parents shouldn't decide if their toddler is trans when said child has no concept of gender identity.

It's certainlt not worth calling for people to be fired and blacklisted forever. That's way too far.

I am willing to hear out opposing viewpoints.

User Banned (2 weeks): trolling

But there' still stumbling blocks like the women's Banbaro set, women's MR Girros set, and the women's MR Pukei set. But a lot of the most common problems can be fixed with layered armor (namely all the exposed thighs can be converted to pants).

Classic hypocrisy in the Discord lmao. Make fun of others when they are offended over "inoffensive" jokes that are only meant as jokes bro, the second someone does something you don't agree with such as making a public statement and correcting it, you go full REEEEEEEE WHY DID YOU DO THAT just like the people the Discord was making fun of to begin with.

If they seriously didn't care one way or the other, then the apology and donation would be a non issue.

Jesus Christ.

I always kind of assumed that a lot of this site’s whole “people who don’t like us are weirdos and idiots” thing was more ego and pride. I mean I’m sure it still mostly is, but still...

I can kind of see where that attitude comes from now. What the hell is up with these people? How can anyone get that mad about a video game forum?

Although judging by that guy’s “they’ll never accept an apology” thing I’m guessing the version of this site in their mind ain’t exactly close to any reality.

[benjipwns]

I don’t think we should get too hyped about sensitivity training. If the lessons of the training aren’t reinforced by direct management then it just becomes a joke at the office. My old job had that and for the next six months it was all the rotten people could talk about, making “jokes” that violated the “new rules.”

[benjipwns]

Where does this "resetera harbors pedophiles" come from? Seems to be the new rage, and showed up in this very thread.

From what I understand it's just some bullshit story that some Trolls from the old place made up by taking some out of context comments from the Era discord and hold it up as some pathetic attempt at a "gotcha". There is nothing to it as far as I can tell. It's just the little kids trying to find an excuse to justify their obsession with Era. It's as if they completely forgot what Evilore did. They should be more concerned about being on a site ran by a racist sexual assaulter in my opinion, but thats asking too much I guess.

Apology, NOT accepted, bitch. #NoCancelCultureTho

[benjipwns]

Although judging by that guy’s “they’ll never accept an apology” thing I’m guessing the version of this site in their mind ain’t exactly close to any reality.

and on the next page of the thread:

I don't think the people behind the game are any better today than they were yesterday (we certainly haven't seen any indication that any of them used the weekend for reflection or to take responsibility), but as far as a corporate apology dictated by the publisher, that seems to cover all the bases.

Hopefully the team will pursue actual growth now, or 3DR will simply not work with them in future.

cool that they are donating to trevor project, but yeah, i am pretty skeptical that the devs themselves would have a change of heart this quickly after a whole weekend of doubling down. this reads like a cover your ass statement from the publisher more than any of those who had actually been posting offensive stuff having any kind of true remorse beyond getting caught.

I don't expect the devs in question to stop being shitlords but I do expect that they will know better than to antagonize their publisher. Personally I don't give a damn about their private feelings as long as they know better than to voice them publicly.

this was most likely 3D realms stepping in and telling the transphobic manbabies to shut up and try to do damage control

the tweets by the voidpoint dev shows that they clearly are not interested in learning anything and are using any excuse to hold onto their proto-fascist beliefs

Apology is miles better than the shit CDPR, GOG & THQN pulled and I'm positively surprised that they're even donating a bunch of money, but honestly if they're not firing the fucks that spouted the bullshit, I don't think anything will change and they'll just keep being transphobic & homophobic scumbags just without publicly spouting their shit on Discord & Twitter. Would be seriously disappointed, but not surprised, if people will just accept it because they donated some money & promised training and go back to supporting the devs even though they're still working there and 100% haven't changed their bigoted views.

Censorship isn't necessarily negative, and its not like they're removing all the swearing and gore etc *shrug*

 

The bigoted community members are having a meltdown, and the devs seem like there on the edge of exploding.

Is nice to see RE is consistent in promoting contempt for their fellows.

The fans are acting about as sane as you would expect but the staff have at least not engaged them with it this time so that's a start.
