PC Gamer Damage Control

PC Gamer de-listed this video containing the interview and 'apology' from Tim Soret: youtube.com/watch?v=SsH7l0-KVkE&t=202s

...and reuploaded a new version without all the comments backing him up: youtube.com/watch?v=WHIG2Y4h_NQ

Why does it seem every outlet is trying to censor the support for this dev?

>'apology'
Why did you put it between apostrophes? Are you implying he wasn't being honest with his apology?

Because this industry is run by no talent faggots who cannot fucking handle that the best looking game at E3 was a RIGHT WING DEATH SQUAD game

>apology
For what? What happened? Judging from the comments it's something that offended feminists.

He's a heretical voice for sanity and fringe ideologies hate nothing more than a rational middle ground that makes them look ridiculous.

What?
All I know about this game is the baller trailer they released?

Did someone get triggered because neonlights remembered them of their time working in Amsterdam?

He committed the immortal sin of coming out as a moderate on social media a few months back and pissed off both sides of an internet shit flinging competition in the process. So he has two different hate mobs trying to destroy him.

Holy shit that sounds amazing.

The guy is actually a god, he represents what 90% of indie devs feel about that stupid journalism shit but was stupid enough to actually tweet it.

What the fuck are all you faggots on about

he said something about gamergate and supporting egalitarianism

Do they have an email adress? would like to drop some support emails

Holy shit. Fucking wikipedia being useless as usual.

I was all in on supporting this game, he apologized now?

Fuck him if so.

...

I consider myself left leaning but wikipedia has always had incredibly biased 'editors'.

It's kind of a shame.

Because journalists are losing all their political power to youtubers, so they're desperately trying to power monger. "You must agree with us or this will happen" Its about cultivating an political monoculture where they hold the power without competition; it's politics baby.

That monster.

After his publisher threw him under the bus.

Imagine being the piece of shit that would value the voice of someone who doesn't give a fuck about you or your games over the dev you're meant to be having a working relationship with.

I wish I could just send the guy money and pirate the game.

In that case the journalists have already lost. Do PC Gamer and the likes really have more influence than Youtube personalities?

So now instead of sticking to his position and getting support from at least one side, he apologized and now both sides hate him equally. The people who were mad want him to fail, now the people who were on his side will want the same.

What a stupid asshole.

Almost certainly forced to do so by his publisher (Who likely owns the IP). Think about why he did it rather than that he's some huge asshole or something, do you think the guy really wanted to cave? I highly doubt he has actually changed his personal opinions.

The real idiocy here is that he linked his game dev persona to his real life personality. As someone that is developing a game there is no way that I would expose myself.

Saying something like this and caving is far worse than saying nothing at all, it emboldens the other side to a far greater degree.

I hope his game is a massive flop for him being such a stupid fucking asshole.

>Saying something like this and caving is far worse than saying nothing at all, it emboldens the other side to a far greater degree.
This.

This is why almost everyone in the industry either has extremely left views, or doesn't talk about their views at all. If you go against the grain people will throw goddamn tantrums and PR will force you to apologize or pull the plug on you

If you apologise to mentally ill degenerates they win.

>Have views that are not 100% salivishly pro-feminism
>Know that said views are publicly visible on Twitter
>Decide to go with a Swedish publisher for your game
I don't know what he was expecting.

They have a fucking contract with the publisher.
Whats the point a contract if they refuse to give their service when they FEEL like it.

This is fucking retarded.

I'm gladly on his side now that both Neofags and Sup Forumstards hate him

>Saying something like this and caving is far worse than saying nothing at all, it emboldens the other side to a far greater degree.

French people, they always surrender.

So you stand for nothing beside hating two groups and wanting to "spite" them?

Well you go girl, give that guy your money mhmmm!

fucking christ that page is dripping with bias and passive aggression

kind of embarrassing.

I stand for good games, which this looks like (certainly has great art and soundtrack, at the very least, and I'm into adventure gameplay). The fact it triggers two groups of faggots I despise is the icing on the cake.

If you think that's biased, check the talk page

The Last Night is probably the most interesting game of all E3, followed by Dragon Ball Fighter Z and Monster Hunter World.

any dissenters will be silenced

this is an inclusive and diverse industry. but only to people on a certain side of the political spectrum

and they say they want politics in video games
