The fuck are you doing
Troubling GOG tweets, a fired CD Projekt employee, and the spectre of GamerGate
Plus then I keep seeing that guy show up in tv shows and am like, Oh man it is Starkiller! He is on Supergirl right now. Also he voiced Maul and Palpatine in the Clone Wars/Rebels shows, as well as, Solo Spoiler
boo

The latest UT, confusingly named simply ‘Unreal Tournament’, began open development in 2014 and progressed with the input of (and maps/modes/mods from) the community in 2014 but was a long way off being whatever ‘finished’ even means for a videogame in the modern age, and hasn’t seen a meaningful update since last summer. So infrequent and undramatic were its updates that we’ve not posted about it for three years.
Thus, I was more surprised to hear that they’re making another Star Wars film than I was about official acknowledgement that there’s nothing doing with UT any more. Epic have got the colossal Fortnite, they’ve got the much-licensed Unreal engine, and now they’ve got their own Steam rival – UT is, quite simply, no longer where it’s at.
Biggest Epic cheese Tim Sweeney stopped short of telling Baron Crecente of Variety that UT was cancelled per se, but one does not have to search for much between the lines of a statement like “‘Unreal Tournament’ remains available in the store but isn’t actively developed” to get the gist of things. Indeed, UT is still out there, and free to download to boot, so if by “cancelled” you don’t mean “entirely scoured from existence” then sure, yeah, it’s not cancelled.

The most charitable view of this is that this guy just happened to not be aware of the discourse at the wrong time (and didn't examine a gif closely enough, which is certainly understandable) but even then he comes off like an asshole in the more general sense, waffling about whether he's a gamergater or not. I'm certainly not gonna lose any sleep over his firing.
I don't know if finding out he's a centrist is any better
Also he pretended not to know anything about gamergate despite that article where he all but explicitly declared himself a gater. That's ass-covering and it is BAD ass-covering. "I didn't look close enough at this gif and I'm sorry" would have been fine and is probably the truth.
and CD Projekt Red has its own team
my takeaway is that is their standard corporate culture over there
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
eh I'm pretty sure he knew what was on the gif as well
no sympathy here, especially considering what he's waffling about
Guess what, if that's the case then you deserve to be fired anyway. I am just glad that this chapter is over and PR managers there will be more respectful in a future.
“I didn’t check the gif”...why not? Checking things is your job. Knowing the meaning of hashtags before you use them is your job. Keeping your finger on the pulse of internet culture is your job. I hate, hate firing people and I can’t see not doing it in this circumstance.
it looks like ass and I love it, still
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
people are saying it's definitely rough, but kind of has a dwarf fortress meets mount and blade feel to it
probably not the best game if you're looking for polish
for now, it's Christmas and I got too many things to spend money on
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
He knew exactly what he was doing at every point. He's just desperately trying to save face now that he's unexpectedly suffered consequences.
For fuck's sake, he claims he didn't know the meaning of #WontBeErased after bragging about appropriating the hash tag in the tweet.
The only real new information here is that the second tweet was somebody else, which just proves that these attitudes are endemic to the whole organization (as though that wasn't already obvious from the "apologies").
Not buying that at all.
(and yeah unfortunately it suggests the sentiment is a common one in their office culture)
@cB557 I can't play the two DS games because of the control schemes. I can't get Link to do anything I want him to
Huh
But a couple of women of color taking pot shots at a generic white post apocalyptic raider dude in a pretty, blossoming post-apocalypse is, on its own, more interesting than anything they did in FC5's entirety
But every far cry since 3 is a good concept who's ball wasnt just dropped but flung into the ocean
(strictly story speaking)
I don't think this it what it is but here's a good way to beef it - Far Cry 3, 4 and 5 prominently showcase the villians on their covers. I reckon these are our heroes but...
Corrected box art:
Having nature already bouncing back is a way more interesting visual direction
Like, the way it's staged and stuff reminds me a bit of the cutscenes from XCOM 2 where it goes into first person
I was going to say even Ubi isn't dumb enough to make two black women its main villains but actually I don't believe that
That'll be his church too then
PSN- AHermano
oh, that apple is totally visually indistinguishable even if you know it's there
How the heck is that thing supposed to work?
There's a crossbow part which doesn't look like it's being used, there's the buzzsaw part, there's the gas canister
What the hell is going on here?
It's cool
