How in the hell is this his responsibility? We have to prove our allegiances now? If I ever become a game dev I'm keeping my head down.
Which is apparently not enough unfortunately. Damned it you do, damned if you don't.
I'll choose damned by transphobes, if I've got to make someone mad at me lol. It's not a hard choice, and it's not like we're talking about some rinky dink little solo dev anymore
Remember when people were sending literal death threats to CDProjektRed when they delayed Cyberpunk? This doesn't surprise me in the least.
Or remember any controversy surrounding literally any game (Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, just to name a couple recent ones)?
Gamers fucking suck. And I say that as a gamer myself.
It's not "allegiances". A literal child asked for a game feature and transphobes started leaking that child's personal information online.
It's not Eric's fault, but it still is his responsibility to make sure there's a safe way to request features without getting doxxed.
It is not a creator's responsibility to handle shitheads on a completely unrelated website. That's absurd.
