  • This needs to be properly adressed and whoever did this and whoever greenlighted it should the full feel consequences.

    All that being said I can not see this being a company wide intention. Just from a business point of view this is so stupid that it beggars believe. Even if the entire company are neo nazis they would know that openly espousing those ideas would result in losing customers and losing partners.

    The big game publishers would not want to be associated with Nazis at least publicly so they might pull games from GoG to stop the reputational damage. Anyone that has at least a functioning brain would stop buying from them until there is a full explenation and proper resolution.

    And considering GoG barely keeps their head above water, they can not afford this at all. Unless the new owner wants to tank the company and sell off the assets.








  • If I remember it correctly it started with some people calling out a journalist for not disclosing that the game she reviewed was made by her partner.

    Which snowballed into a bigger discussion about corruption in games journalism. While at the same time there was a movement to have more representation for women, lgbtq and people of color (sorry if this not the correct term) in gaming.

    Some of the representative of that movement had never touched a game and criticised beloved classics. This gave the extremist an in to spread their hate. Which led to a vicious online rivalry between two camps. The progressive gamers and the gamers.

    Tell me if I forgot something.
