Limited Run Games fired someone over having the wrong opinion
 

So apparently Limited Run Games locked their account over getting absolutely blasted by their consumer-base over firing an employee just because they follow people on Twitter like Blair White, Libs of Tik Tok and some others. This was mostly cause some activist did the ol 'lemme search up ancient tweets, likes and follows' and posted a collage of them and insisted LRG do something about it.

Limited Run Games has been under fire before due to their incredibly late releases and whatnot (it took over a year for some people to get their copies of the Scott Pilgrim game) and now going woke isn't going to help matters for them.

Lame reason or not, if the employee was working in an at-will state, they can be fired for any reason. Obviously, they can also suffer bad PR from it.

I honestly think going political for either side under public accounts and your real name is about the stupidest thing a person can do on social media. Stick to pet photos.

That's firing over discrimination though.

And yeah, people should just create private accounts if they feel they absolutely must voice their views.

As far as I can tell this person didn't even post their views, they just followed people and liked their tweets. Who the hell has the time looking for random followers of someone you don't like and trying to ruin their lives?

Like let's say Danny DeVito was an asshole. Who has the time to comb through each and every one of his followers and try to get them fired over liking a tweet of his from a decade ago?

Companies have to learn to shrug their shoulders and say '...so?' whenever these crazies try to bother them with this nonsense. Either that or just lie to shut them up. Put out some woke PC statement about you firing the person and about how good of a company you are and how you're on the right side of history and support Ukraine and all that stuff...... and then tell the woman to get back to work.

Apparently they locked their twitter feed, which on one side is them hiding from the backlash, but on the other side, blocking out whatever customers they still have that want to talk about or ask about their upcoming games.

They fired someone for following LibsOfTikTok? Ffs...

And to top it off, one person complained. ONE person. And that was all it took to get her fired. I would somewhat understand if LRG was bashed into oblivion with the kind of hate campaigns Rowling gets, but literally just ONE person complained, possibly not even a customer or maybe not even a gamer, and LRG fired someone over this complete nobody.

Now the person being trans is irrelevant but the fact that people found tweets saying this person thinks adults should be able to **** teens if the teens want it is messed up. So this person is a creep too. That's not helping the trans community look any better. The irony is one of the people the LRG employees got fired for following was Blair White, a transperson that is strongly against messing with kids.

I really like the idea of a company specializing in putting games new and old into physical copies. Wish they were satisfied to just focus on that.

Exactly. Their gimmick is to make physical copies of digital only games. They should stick to that. Stop playing the woke game.

Really,all they had to do was ignore one crazy person on twitter.

There were two posts that brought this about. 1. A recent post saying she was looking forward to the new harry potter game. 2. a post from 7 years ago questioning a hot button issue today.

The person who got them fired is goes by "Purple Tinker" and created Bronycon. Let that sink in.

CREATED Bronycon? Oh god. Live and let live they always say, but imagine the stain of having the con having been started by that freak. It would like some big annual event that people go to and have it turn out that Chris Chan created it.

Oh yeah,the Harry Potter game that was deemed antisemitic because you kill goblins in it. This really is beyond parody.

Now it's more like, if you buy Hogwarts Legacy you're a transphobe.

The game actually got tagged as "transphobic" on Steam,and it's a bestseller. So not well played.

They also tagged it as 'genocide simulator' and it also helped it sell.

Bwahaha...Harry Potter and the...I better not make that joke.

It is, isn't it? Imagine the self-centered egos on these people in their mind's own rightous-judgement when they produce some mental-calculus like that.

And then they live and act on it. With their head's held high for as long as they can project disgust towards anyone else, bolstering their own egos along the way. "YOUUuuuh! are an antisemite for playing THATTTTtt! Harry Potter game!"

At this time there is no point in even pointing out hypocrisy and double think. You just have to point and laugh.

They now started buying a bunch of Harry Potter books and I guess, altering the covers to remove Rowling's name off them and then re-sell them to fans?

Despite the fact that Rowling is now swimming in the (additional) money that she's making off people buying her HP books in bulk just to do this?

The Left 20 years ago:
“Ha Ha! Harry Potter offends the Christians and conservatives!”

The Left now:
“Reeee! Harry Potter offends us!”

Nothing can help trans community look better. Its like asking mental ward patients look better.

So the fired person was a woman? It certainly would explain level of vitriol from that pervert degenerate. Nothing triggers those freaks (trans, non-trilineary, zoo and pedocreeps) like women treating them like everyone should - like mentally ill cockroaches.

So, mentally ill degenerate freak, most likely, with army of skeletons in his closet, as well, as closets of his buddies.

I wonder, how much dirt can be dug, if some people would look into the past of this freak? Like, would it be just soiled diapers and ****ing in furry suits or locomotive of pedo and grooming stuff?

I've seen some trasnfreaks being triggered on a certain forum, like "I wish everyone who buy this game would die" kind.

Imagine, being so mentally broken, that you are not only playing pretend game by mutilating your own body, but, also demand ABSOLUTE complacency from the rest of the world about it and wish ill on everyone who do not want to support your mental illness. And some people in business think its NORMAL!!
Truly a clown ****ing world.

Very appropriate quote:
Its all performative outrage in the end and in a rare case, when you get a genuine mental article - you can quickly understand, why a lot of people turn off from supporting those creeps.

Yeah but this woman never met her or anything. It's almost like this freak started looking at random followers of Libs of Tik Tok or JK Rowling, found out she worked at LRG and started to stalk her page going back years just to get her fired. Cause reasons.

As for closet stuff, like I said, they dug into this person's past tweets and he said multiple times he thinks adults should be free to **** (underage) teens all they want cause if the child wants it, why not? If that's not a red flag, what is?

Wow, this **** is truly stinks.
So pedocreep, who organizes convenions for like minded pedocreeps, who are into (****ing) cartoon horses, effectively stalked woman for a "wrong opinion", using some comments from years ago.

LRG has spineless trash for managers and public should shout about this pedocreep being, well, pedocreep as loud as possible.

Two can play this game and since, Twatter is no longer run by pedocreep supporters, at least not of the Left kind, it won't silenced. Gonna be interesting to see fire under asses of idiots from LRG. Though I doubt it will lead to anything significant, sadly.

Right now a lot of angry people are finding out the hard way that LRG doesn't do refunds, so that's bringing in a lot of heat too due to people now cancelling their orders.

Add to this the entire years it takes to ship stuff out, LRG's 2023 is starting out rough.

At least its something.

Not almost like, that's probably what happened. These people are spiteful mutants.

As for the Hogwartz game, people are openly harassing people online for playing or streaming the game. And they act as if those people 'had it coming' for daring to get that game.

It got to the point that they created a 'who is streaming that new wizards game' site where people can comment and 'report' anyone streaming that game so you know who they are in case you want to either unfollow them or go and harass them.

Makes me want to go and play some Hogwarts.

Also, the game looks lit.

Mowing down the Muggles!

Yep, it's definitely conservatives who are the problem! /s

Geez. They’re like the mafia.

And to think, during Trump’s presidency these same wokies who are crying about Harry Potter compared themselves to the wizards of Hogwarts and Trump to Voldemort. :lol:

Gladly, Hogwarts Legacy have beaten all possible records on Steam and Twitch, which means "boycott" and harassment from pedotrans had disastrously failed. If anything, their seething attracted EVEN more attention to the game.

Basically, for the first in a recent years transcreeps and SJW at large had encountered reality that in real world most normal people don't give a **** about their ideology and their values and threats.

Naturally it will have some ramifications: more and more people will saw transpedos for what they are - sick bullies and will start questioning their ideology and push back against their ********.

However, since transpedos are very bad at admitting defeat they will become even more insane, just like they have become more insane after GamerGate and Trump. They completely unable to admit and self-reflect about anything, which means they only can double down on the crap.

So the culture war will become more intense, sadly.

At the very least, SJW zealots dominance has been shaken to the core and most likely won't return to the previous position. Now when people see they are nothing outside of Internet.

This is another one of those 'only on the internet' things. I've only seen terminally online people complain about this and obviously only people that stream get harassed since they're pretty much publically showing that they have the game.

I just saw a friend of mine on FB that isn't on social media besides FB and he asked if Hogwartz was worth buying. I was rolling my eyes and ready to see him get blasted. All of the replies were saying the game looks great, or that they bought it and enjoyed it. All people around our general age, boomers I guess that don't know about that there TikTok and Snapshot or whatever. Not one person commented on 'but but but muh JKR... but but but muh transphobia'.

It just shows me that us regular folks living in the real world are unaware about the drama and just see the game as a game. And the game is apparently a lot of fun and very good and whatever, so the record sales are no surprise.

Politics aside, this was a long-awaited 'game of the year' type game. Literally nothing was gonna stop it. Might as well try to boycott Assassin's Creed in its heyday or Grand Theft Auto in its heyday.

Not quite boycotts, but GTA was a constan center of controversies in the beginning of 00s, as well, as Mortal Kombat few years before it. To the point where MK was even mentioned in Senate, I think.

The thing is "centralized" attack by some schizo politician or a priest is a one thing, attack by bad **** insane cretins from Twitter - is another. They have no-one to answer to and don't take responsibility for anything, unless they commit some real crimes (even though death threats are quite a real crime, AFAIK).

Its not like Jack Thompson who has become a laughing stock for his opinions about violence in video games.

I agree, most normal people won't hear about it and will enjoy the game, still I don't like that Internet sphere dominated by crippled lunatics who are trying to squeeze their influence offline.

Mortal Kombat, Night Trap and Lethal Enforcers caused the most public outcry. It led to the estalibshment of the Entertainment Software Rating Board in September 1994.

Okay, it’s one thing to boycott something out of protest. You guys know how I feel about Seth Rogen, after all, and I have repeatedly said that it’s perfectly okay if none of you boycott the new Rogen TMNT movie too.

Bullying and shaming others for not boycotting it with you, that’s a d*** move. Seriously. These people are pa-thetic.

Got my PS4 Shredder's Revenge and Contra Collections today. It's entirely likely that I'll never even open them.... :roll:

Still waiting on the radical edition on switch.

Fixed it for you.

Stop the throwing around "woke" out of context like you know what it means, stop defending fascists, and stop pretending it's a "difference of opinion".

What the **** is wrong with you
