Twitter outrage over the "[spoiler]" quest
Let me grab some popcorn and turn in "We didn't start the fire" while we see all the **** going down. May step in with something more constructive/destructive after seeing Obsidian's response.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
While I agree with you, the fact that all the limmerick threads are being locked is troubling to me. It doesn't make me throw them under the bus, but it sets the path that many other studios that I despise went...hell I see myself in the foreseeable future only playing Japanese games, good thing they are releasing stuff in Steam. But at least they asked Firedorn, this is more than we can expect in this day and age of almost any Studio. At any rate, what is this doing in a GG discussion?

If Firedorn is OK with it, I'm OK with it.

Post what works so Devs can nerf
*Force Ironman on everybody and then add more bugs with each patch that corrupts Savegames

Aww a mod said not to be mean. You shouldn't misgender people, though. I do not, I call him what he is.

Shame I don't care in this particular case since he wants to kill people like me.

Okay, see now that's funny. If anything the joke is aimed at the Firedorn. And because he slept with a man in drags, not a transgendered dude. Start seeing where are we coming from already?

deadname?Name before she transitioned. Gets hurled at transfolk a lot. Wouldn't it be Birthname? As in the one his parents gave him?

Sooo...if I had backed to get my memorial I can just decide to email Obsidian every week with a new one and they should be forced to change it because I paid for it? You just don't get it do you? Nope, and apparently won't- Limerick edit thread 2
It worked for Erik didn't it?- Limerick edit thread 2
No, a fanbase fellating a company and not telling them when they have wronged them is what happened to Bioware and we lost them forever.- So Obsidian Devs basically give the finger only to solo-players
Different priorities, different issues. The fanbase is not the only thing that 1.03 broke- Controversial Limerick Discussion
Yet apparently twitter warriors does.- So Obsidian Devs basically give the finger only to solo-players
Haven't tried to but, can't you build a full stealth class and ignore all combat?- Limerick edit thread 2
To me if it were an outrage coming from a trans person who didn't joke constantly about committing Genocide on all cis men, I would actually have a completely different view than I have on the issue, and I would support Obsidian more on their decission. But we are talking about a person whose outrage is clearly not real, and only joy came from "making them having to change it", even if the change is still taking the piss on her, the important sign here is that she demanded, and Obsidian obeyed. Seriously, I may not be very knowledgeable of how trans people live nowadays, but I don't think the situation has changed a lot from my days at Uni, and dude, they DO need to have thick skin, mostly because the ones that don't end up comitting suicide before their twenties. This kind of joke is really nothing to them. Amongst other things because it doesn't mention trans people at all, just a man sleeping with another man in drags- Controversial Limerick Discussion
Meh, not GG, this is not a Journalism site after all. As I see it at least this is part of a bigger problem, related to GG, but, "another tentacle of the beast" so to speak.- Didn't realize I was paying to join late beta...
Hey rejoice, they saw you complaining about it being an early Beta, so 1.03 made it into an Alpha again!- Limerick edit thread 2
Except, you know, that isn't actually borne out by reality. Is it not? Because I've seen few tweets making a company change content here...- Limerick edit thread 2
You can't guarantee anything, but your reasoning seems to be lacking. If Obsidian was doing this to appease the SJW; then why would they approve this more offensive version where SJW's are insulted in the joke? Also, if they were trying to avoid a stink they wouldn't have done a thing. Because it ain't about outrage, what SJW's want is not what they claim they want. What they want is the knowledge that whenever they cry, companies will spin around their finger so they can feel comfy. Is is about power, not inclusivity.- Controversial Limerick Discussion
I'd hate to have the outlook on life a lot of these people have, they seem to look for ways to be offended because it makes them feel better for some reason. It's bizarre, how can they enjoy anything? Do not. Their outrage is to feel themselves justified in order to enforce their authoritarian views in others, because that is the only thing they enjoy. Knowing that a few tweets and some faked outrage managed to change Obsidian. Take a peek at her response, now she feels powerful that she made Obsidian change something, it was never about trans people, it was ever about outrage, it is about making a company backpedal to their desires. Do not pity them.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Or people who don't know that in order to get money you need to actually put effort, as it comes from other people other than Mom and Dad. I really can't get past over MacIntosh calling me a "privileged ****lord" from the artificial Island he has made out of Boats... So much this But hey, you have a Legion of WK's trying to make them keep living the dream without doing anything resembling a job. Remember Brianna Wu getting about $16.000 in her patreaon per month or some **** like this for...twittering? I never saw his islands, got any screenshots? The residential Area he lives in. With his parents btw. And the pier with the totally non privileged yatches. But is ok because- I feel bad for the non-steam people
Isn't the patch breaking Savegames, Lockpicking and a lot of other stuff?- Limerick edit thread 2
