Footage of management making the woke California programer add this option:

 

[Bernardougf]

I agree with you that it is still moronic for it to even be there, but I see it as a win in merely the fact that Obsidian felt the need to make a change. Next time hopefully they will learn to just leave it out entirely and avoid all this bullshit drama.

Its a win .. definitely... I dont mind being there.. options its very different than forced

Matt Hansen looking like proper clown shoe right now.

 

[Bernardougf]

Games starting production now will have a very different face/culture.. in a way sony bombing this gen was good.. now their studios are working on projects with this new mentality for the end gen/ps6 ...instead of throwing more woke shit up there ... except ND .. that one is fucked

This gen suffered so next gen could shine.

Let me dream.

IDK why they are forced to begin with.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This is a big W.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

This is what desperation looks like.

But yes, it's the right move. Not (only) because of cultural wars but because it's moronic to have real-life bollocks in fantasy settings.

 

[Bernardougf]

Smart guy.. waited for the reviews.. if he does it early his fucked.. +2 becomes -2

 

[Saber]

Man, you really loved Hogwarts Legacy and that game goes way deeper with pronouns than this character sheet in Avowed.

I was too busy casting spells and flying to care, but nice try brainrotting friend. The fact a good game has doesn't mean I support it. Whats next, Elden Ring because it has type A and type B? You remind me of Lordsoffallen reddit mods.

 

[Kilau]

Option to remove the disgusting art direction and character design?

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

I love how the moronic left works tho, they say "why do you care, everyone has pronouns"... Then why do you care MOTHER FUCKER?? Lol like yes people use pronouns, but nobody ever assigned them to oneself you delusional cocknozzles

 

[DAHGAMING]

This it the right thing, choice, normal mode and gay it up mode, everyones happy....

I actually dont mind pronouns alongside dragons wizards and other non-existent stuff.

It's when it's part of anything set in the future that I think "Ughh, we still doin this bollocks?"

 

[FoxMcChief]

Oh shit, that would get you banned in a second at the other place, saying “Gay it up mode” isn’t normal.

 

[JayK47]

Better than nothing. So how is the character creator? Top surgery scars? Flat assed and chested women?

 

[DAHGAMING]

CHUDS won what exactly? Inflation is still high! Interest rates are still high! People are getting laid off left and right but CHUDS are winning. My god when will people stop allowing themselves to be played like straight suckers.

Chuds dont give a fuck about inflation and intrest rates, we got so much of the Great British Pound it dosnt effect us, infact we want those rates to go higher to realy see the npc types suffer .

 

[Physiognomonics]

Have you guys seen this guy real life family? He is the real winner outside of that show, not Will Smith.

 

[Boss Mog]

Not good enough, it should be the default, with the option to turn it on. When you play a game, the handicap options aren't enabled by default, so why should this be?

 

[Saber]

People are getting laid off left and right but CHUDS are winning.

Not everyone is being laid off, only the ones that aren't exactly producing good results or rather prefer spending time in the twitter.
But yeah, let's all put them all together and claiming that all its the fault of Chuds. As if Chuds decides who is to be fired and who is not. Nothing to do with bad games not selling, not at all.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

The industry constantly lays people off, you can go back to fuckin any year and you'll see massive layoffs, it's trimming the fat it's how it goes in the corporate world. Why do people act so surprised by this stuff? It happens. It's literally how life goes for decades.

Pronouns should be relegated to the accessibility menu.
It's ok of you want options to make the game more accesible to people with disabilities and/or mental disorders, but turning them on by default is weird.
I mean no one minds there being a colorblind mode in many games, but if it was on by default that'd be weird.

Hope the patch in Virgin/Shut-in Neet for ye now.

Yea im fine with options. It's when it's forcing me to select a pronoun, that's where its agenda driven. Irl, in game, I don't select pronouns and I shouldn't be forced to

I can't keep up catching all these wins.

Man, that creampuff sure showed Musk, didn't he!

 

[Crayon]

To be a fly on the wall while they talk to their developers about starting shitstorms on twitter.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

I was never going to get this game regardless of what views or stuff they got since the game just doesn't look good to me. Just like Outer Worlds it seems to have that below mid feel to it compared to the other games with the same type./genre. And they shouldn't have done this because now they are going to piss off a lot of the purple side once they see that they added a option for this.

 

[Doomtrain]

This is especially interesting because they'll likely be able to gather data on how many people turn them on/off, so they'll have statistics showing how few people use them.

 

[Bernardougf]

I just wished to see how they/them took the news.. and how that reunion go

 

[DeepEnigma]

The cute little scarf and deadpan eyes tells everything.

 

[rickybooby87]

What would really make this thread even better, is some screenshots of meltdowns from the purple forum, I think both sides of the argument is dumb, but I love see the meltdowns regardless lol.

I doubt that this is a topic that is even allowed

I didn't even notice that when I first saw it . . .God, i'd have to wear a life alert and press the button cause i'd kick my own ass to near death before wearing that in public.

Allowed, not to be confused with Avowed.

 

[justiceiro]

What's the point of adding it in the first place?

Pandering

 

[DeepEnigma]

Psychologists lost the plot when they stopped saying "no" to the mental illnesses and started to actively affirm them.

 

[Topher]

Probably because they really have no clue on how to cure mental illness. If they can't be of use then they might as well be a political pawn.

It's ridiculous we give basically every boy Ritalin for being a boy. But people that want to marry a train station, perfectly normal!!!

I wonder what the default was that Matt Hansen was referring to? Whatever it was, they backed off it.

That's just called job security.

 

[wizaga]

Good. The game is M rated, no adult should be forced or lectured about pronouns in a video game. I respect peoples choice to be/dress as/be called whatever they want to, but that is a personal choice and has no place in interactive media just to push an agenda

 

[DeepEnigma]

I've seen more menacing Chihuahuas than this guy

 

[CityHunter1981]

Still wonder who is pushing always for this…
Even the majority of queer people didn’t ask for it.

Must have been some very intelligent people who just know what people want.
