Blizzard employee reveals demoralization & drama inside “out of touch” company in massive leak Chaos and widespread demoralization inside dev of the formerly "too big to fail" MMO World of Warcraft.
An anonymous user claiming to work at Blizzard yesterday posted a massive letter to 4chan about the state of the sinking ship that is World of Warcraft. The letter shines a light on the demoralization happening inside the company as well as blaming “social justice” and a “too big to fail” mindset for choices made there in relation to World of Warcraft, which is leaking players like a sieve. The letter is generally thought to be authentic among the thousands of gamers who have discussed it on 4chan and social media like Twitter. Former WoW team lead Mark ‘Grummz’ Kern also reposted the letter and said it rings true based…

WATCH: mom rages on livestreaming son having a smelly gamer moment Gamers sometimes need to poop where they sit instead of wasting time going to the bathroom, but this mom won't tolerate gamer moments.
Who was in the wrong here? A viral livestream video has a mom rudely intruding on a gamer’s Mafia III livestream to order her son to, “Get off your game, go to the bathroom, and take a shit. Now.” Not getting a response, she continues, “Bathroom and shit now! I can smell you!” The gamer is confused and unable to understand her rage, so she explains: “You’re SHITTING yourself. Poop is coming out of your fucking asshole! Go to the bathroom!” “Not yet.” The stream was originally posted to creeperman 90‘s YouTube channel but it has since been deleted. The problem of gamers catching flak for festering in their own…

Steam game offers 41% discount and now people want the devs dead And the harassment campaign is backfiring big time, with Heartbeat shooting up the bestseller charts after support from prominent anti-bully activist.
The transvestite community’s campaign against indie RPG Heartbeat has reached a fever pitch after learning that Chumbosoft is discounting their game by 41% on Steam, with some now even calling for the developers to be executed. The number 41 is interpreted as a reference to the attempted suicide rate among men who suffer from a mental illness that causes delusions about turning into women. One sicko with pronouns in they’s bio tweeted, “the devs of this game should not have beating hearts.” (archive) Not really one to support violence but damn if someone doxxes the guy who made #HEARTBEATRPG and their body ends up in a ditch somewhere i wouldn’t…

Greekgodx banned from Twitch for saying there’s two genders Belief in the ever expanding list of genders discovered by Tumblr scientists—such as agenderflux and gyraboy—now a requirement for the streaming platform.
Twitch has banned popular part-time livestreamer Greekgodx for stating that there are two genders. On Wednesday, Greek was live on Twitch – a rare occasion these days – and briefly mentioned SoundCloud’s sign-up options, which allows users to identify their gender as “other.” “It does ‘male,’ it does ‘female,’ it does ‘other,’ and it does ‘prefer to not say.’ Imagine having ‘other’ and ‘prefer to not say.’ What cucks are they fucking catering to now?” “Other? Fuck off,” Greek continued, “If you put ‘other,’ they should ‘sorry, SoundCloud is not for you, goodbye,’ and fucking delete you.” Judging from Greek’s sudden ban, Twitch staff members are among the “cucks” that…

Hasbro’s announces Ms. Monopoly, a game that pays women more than men for equality Equality, by the way.
Corporate woke feminism has claimed another one, and this time around it’s everybody’s classic family board game. Hasbro announced that in their new version of Monopoly, Ms. Monopoly, women get an extra $40 every time they pass “Go.” Ms. Monopoly is “a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men,” the company said in a statement, according to CNN. “But don’t worry, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too.” Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200. It's "a fun…

Misgendering this Borderlands 3 robot could get you banned It's a they/them, and failure to comply is hate speech.
Borderlands 3 is woke. Not only has its developer, Gearbox Studios, become a bastion of wokeness in the game industry, so too have its products become vehicles for the company’s progressive ideology — as exhibited in all the references to feminism and “toxic masculinity” in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. The company’s latest effort to promote social justice in video games comes in the form of a robotic character named FL4K (pronounced “flak”) who, strangely enough, has gender pronouns of its own. Much like Twitter’s pronouns-in-bio echo chamber, FL4K is a they/them. Normally, this shouldn’t matter. It’s a fictional character, and writers are free to do as they like with their creations.…

Ion Fury bows to ResetEra mob, will donate $10k to LGBTQIA movement over dev’s Discord comment Ion Fury dev busted saying he doesn't think babies should be gender reassigned.
“The mother of idiots is always pregnant.” That’s a classic Romanian saying and it seems that Planned Parenthood is clearly not doing its job any more. Consider a little game called Ion fury, where one of the developers was recently caught saying something so incredibly outrageous and shocking on Discord that you might want to take the children out of the room before you read on. “if you’re trying to decide the child is trans at birth you have mental problems and probably shouldn’t be a parent imo” Predictably the decent folk over at ResetEra started a harassment campaign against the monster. Voidpoint Interactive, for which he works, in response…

Obsidian doesn’t want Outer Worlds to be a ‘politically-charged game’ The freshmaker.
Leonard Boyarsky, the creative director of Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming RPG, The Outer Worlds, says that the game will not shove politics down your throat. The creator, who is responsible for the original Fallout, Arcanum, and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, says he intends to bring the same amount of depth to the science fiction-based setting as his previous works. Set in a cyberpunk-inspired future where mega-corporations colonize the outer regions of space, the game’s commentary does not focus entirely on the “evils” or depredations of capitalism, and will instead offer nuance. Boyarsky says that the studio is “very careful” to not “lecture” players with its themes. Speaking to Video Games Chronicle,…

As Minecraft celebrates its 10th anniversary, Microsoft has announced that the game’s creator, Markus Persson (Notch), will not be able to take part in the events, and it’s all due to his “comments and opinions” on Twitter. “His comments and opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are nor representative of Minecraft,” said a Microsoft spokesperson to Variety, which broke the news this week. The spokesperson was also keen to inform the publication that Notch hasn’t been involved with Minecraft since he sold the studio and rights to the game in 2014.

Mortal Kombat 11’s ultimate bad guy is Trump MK11 gone corporate woke features covered up females, Wakanda, and Trump as the bad guy.
Mortal Kombat is the video game that triggered Congress for its display of gratuitous violence and sexy outfits, that made every “I’d like to speak to your manager” soccer mom literally shake in anger in the mid ‘90s, and it’s now trying to become every bit as tame as the frumps want it to be.
