Is Star Citizen even a game at this point? Cause it seems more like an investment portfolio.

Bruh, imagine being the Tripwire CEO and losing your job because people got mad at your hot take.

Unlucky as fuck.

Imagine being the CEO of any kind of company and thinking your job will survive making public statements against the rights of half of people.

Bad takes exist bruh.

But that matters little to the cancer we call Twitter. His only real issue was being vocal on a platform that weaponizes outrage. He should have known better.

And jobs that require one not to piss off the general public also exist.

Twitter has nothing to do with it.

Amusingly they are getting reviewed bomb by both groups. Tripwires reaction to fire him has also sparked a negative reaction. Right now they are in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Nothing should have been said, because in the end of the day voicing a Political opinion at all on a social media platform encites outrage.

Twitter is a platform where people go to become outraged at something in life. It's not surprising it took place on that platform.

[Herador]

So, here's my takes from what I've been playing so far.

Pathfinder: War of the Righteous: Pretty good CRPG, enjoying it thoroughly.

Psychonauts 2: Certified hood classic

It's really nothing to do with social media or Twitter. The platform is irrelevant. He could have announced his support for banning abortion on the radio or in the newspaper and it would still show that he is bad at his job and should lose it, because part of being a CEO is PR.

Can we like not with the politics, please? This is a thread for video games. You wanna discuss this, there's a thread specifically for it I believe.

Since its specifically about a CEO of a video game developer i think it fits here. We have talked about politics before in this thread when it has tied into gaming as a hobby and people are more than entitled to continue doing so.

You dont have to take part in the current discussion or you can talk about something else.

I can play Elite with an Xbox Game Pass, Star Citizen requires that I actually purchase a ship with real money to even try the game.
Doesn't seem worth it to me.

Saw the trailer for Tiny Tina's new game an it did not make me want to buy it.

I remember when No Man's Sky got announced, I was stan'ing Star Citizen so hard. "You can do more" "there will be a plot" "it will have a better release". Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe I look like an asshole in retrospect.

I'm just gonna go back to EVE Online.

I really like the story of No Man's Sky. From the peaks of hype to the depths of disappointment and back up to hype.

I think the sad thing for me is I still can't get into it.
Tried a couple times since it "became good", but can't bring myself to get past the first system.

Time to install Life is Strange: True Colors. Should've installed it while I was sleeping last night but live and learn, huh?

I've always considered watching that series just to roast the fuck out of it. Still surprised it's still relevant

How is it?

I’ve still not played 1 and it doesn’t seem that interesting to me in retrospect, but I loved 2.

[Valentine Z]

Games were always fun with friends! :3

And no, I am not talking about those Facebook games where "Refer to your Friends to earn gems!!!". I played Halo with 6 other friends yesterday, and then 4 of us today. Very fun, and we didn't really care about wins and losses. ♥

[Hispida]

so i beat ultrakill
definitely a great game
one of my favorites? not sure yet, i'll have to wait until act 2 comes out (and maybe whatever comes after that)

also whoever came up with shotgun switch tech is a genuine genius. same with whoever came up with marksman + railcannon. using the malicious railcannon + 4 marksman coins took off like half of gabriel's health

1 was the first game that made me cry, so there's that

Completed Prey: Mooncrash for the first time last night and got all the achievements for it too. Now im planning on going back to the main game and giving it another few goes to try and get a 100% completion.

A big number of achievements i have left to get are to do with Typhon powers and since there is an achievement to complete the game using only typhon powers, then again using only human powers im going to go full Typhon and nab all these achievements in a single run as well as the one for killing all humans on Talos Station.

Then ill do all the collectible achievements i have left on the human powers run. After that, if ive done everything right ill only have the no powers achievement run left to get and ill do that on the easiest difficulty and just go through it as quick as i can.

edit: The Achievement im dreading the most honestly is the find all humans achievement, there are like 260-270 people on this station ffs.

Even though the KOTOR remake isn't out yet, Anti-SJWs are already complaining about the game.
