[Feargus Urquhart quote on addressing hate in games]

 

From the article:

 

Yes, it stands to reason that Obsidian could have said no to what the backer put into their game in the first place. They missed that opportunity. But now that it was in the game, it wasn't merely Obsidian's problem. It was also their backer's problem. And therefore, it required a joint solution. Together with that backer, the team at Obsidian discussed their options via email.

It wasn't a "problem" until Obsidian (Josh Sawyer) decided to answer to some crazy Twitter person.

If we take their word for it (and read the interview with Feargus), the twitter mayhem only made them aware of the problem, and didn't cause it.

 

If that were the case, Obsidian would agree with the Twitter mob, that the old backer content was worth the outrage.

Please, please don't surrender to the bullies, the chronically offended. You can't please these people.
