Because they keep holding events, over and over and over again, to drag people over. Only dying games spam things like this as a desperate survival strategy.
That's actually a fair point. But this game never needed it before, this is highly irregular behavior.
Player count is still down. I hope it keeps falling and all these desperate attempts fail. Then Epic might cut their losses and send this game to the Pearly Gates with Paragon and all their other flops. Oh, and all the virtue signallers will be out of a job.
Player count is possibly also down because they took it off of steam so for pc they are only pulling in traffic from epic game store. It’s also a game that’s over 5 years old at this point so player count drops regardless of tweets. The “virtue signallers” are probably one social media manager or community manager who would not get blamed for a 6 year old game losing players.
So artist, programmers, and designers that had nothing to do with it will all lose their jobs. Kind of a crappy thing to wish on someone because the intern running their social media accounts doing what the pr team told them to. But again, a drop in players and an uptick of events for a 6 year old game has nothing to do about some dumb tweet about feminism
Last time there was a tie-in in RL was literally before Epic bought it. They aren't common. Throwing them in one after the other is proof that the game is dying.

So they've been 'dying' since before Epic bought them. Did you also play a role in that downfall?

You could be such a great guy if you had just a bit more common sense and ability for logical thinking. What a shame. As Dan Quayle said, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Also, almost every company participates in the sad spectacle of virtue-signaling for this nonsense. Am I to believe that every time a company goes bankrupt, you will be claiming that a tweet about Wahmen caused its downfall?
I've seen cases of post hoc, ergo propter hoc, but Jesus Christ.
It's not as clear cut as one vs the other as both argue different points about the same things at times while also having a "rabbit season/duck season" back and forth about who is to blame.
Ti1 has been known to post links they later admit they didn't read in the first place because the title was clickbait enough for them to hone in on because they essentially have a female version of TDS. 'A broken clock being right twice a day' effect possibly vindicates this for some since wokesters and normies do have a pro-woman stance on many things. [See the 6pm curfew thing for men suggestion in the UK for a recent example - there is debate whether the original statement was spoken in irony at the overreaction to the events except subsequent support for the suggestion spoiled any irony intended.]
However this "shotgun approach" of throwing enough shit at the wall and not even waiting to see what sticks has caused AoV and others to call them out on such excessive and zealous posting with AoV possibly ending up more vocal than others.

That wasn't what I said. That was someone else's link that I commented on without reading background information. If it's not in the article linked, I'm not going to know it!

Issue is this has happened more than once. Your own post history shows this in threads you've created and then had to defend because users who actually read the linked articles point out the titles you come up with are irrelevant. When you've been called out on editorializing titles and/or commenting on them with no foundation of facts you either double down or abandon the argument by trying to deflect and insert strawman arguments.
A lot of users point out the article is not only "a fucking mess" [to quote myself], but also:
Lacking in details of why the person involved was arrested as mentioned by Bulbasaurus, AoV, Dom, and RoulerBleu.
TheImpossible1 [S] 3 points 3 months ago +5 / -2 Wow, it's even worse than I was predicting.
Doesn't actually relate to Scotland at all despite the title you went with since what happened occured outside Manchester.
Your defense here was it's Scottish journalism despite the archived site being owned by the London based Reach plc which also reported it on their other outlets outside of Scotland. Something else you got wrong because you didn't actually look into anything about the story.
TheImpossible1 [S] 1 point 3 months ago +3 / -2 Well, it's still Scottish journalism.
You posted a worthless, next to empty link you didn't even bother to read just so you could circlejerk and make an edgy thread title that made no sense regarding the actual events.
Ironically, given your track record blaming feminism, when it was brought up why some of the changes happened [woke feminist puritans], you denied and dismissed any opinions on the matter including the testimonies of the grid girls who had lost their jobs because of what happened even though it actually was caused by feminist leanings this time:
TheImpossible1 [S] -16 points 1 months ago +1 / -17 It had nothing to do with feminism, it was about rebranding as less of a millionaire's playground and more of a real sport. Also, cry me a river for those leeches.
TheImpossible1 [S] -1 points 1 months ago +1 / -2 Why on earth would I want the biased opinion of people who could care less about the sport? They just wanted their paychecks.
The above being the dismissive part where you generalize the reason anyone would want to be grid girl is purely for financial reasons.
Also some use of the "No true Scotsman" fallacy by literal elitist gatekeeping about what "true [European] elite sport" is later in that comment:
You don't see true European elite sport with this stupid women everywhere shit. It's cheap and pathetic. They can say it's about feminism all they like, but that doesn't work for anyone who was actually a fan during the rebranding.
You can't help but open with a comment about "worse halves". It's almost Pavlovian at this point that you can't go a thread without somehow angling it back to "worse halves", "United Femdom", or some other buzzword that's at the center of everything you post about. Regarding your focus on the UK/"United Femdom" and you repeatedly call it, for someone who doesn't live there any more [something you've said a few times now] you certainly give it a lot of thought/free rent space.
That's a fair point. I'll give you that. That was below my standards of posting.
Title is accurate, Mastercard (VP is member of a radfem political party in the UK) proved it by taking their ability to process payments away unless all videos were removed that didn't give earnings to the women in them.
I maintain that their removal was a greater good. Anything that takes our money out of women's pockets is a good thing.
The UK to me is like a car accident on the freeway. You can't help but look, even though you're not involved and you really shouldn't, because you're just curious what the hell happened there. Plus, you know...it's nice to see that you're right when you make big decisions, and I genuinely believe it will be the staging post for the next wave of feminist ideology.
Edit :
If establishment backs this (they will), it'll be a Gab style situation, where no matter what you do, you are struck down somewhere along the line by people with way more power than you. MasterCard's VP is a fucking radfem herself.
Months. Ago.
You call me out even though what I said would happen did happen?
AoV is an autist who can argue until the stars go out and dislikes most broad generalizations of groups of people. TheImpossible1 is similarly inclined in temperament and tends to attribute all the evils of the world to women (it should be noted that AoV tends to get in these back and forths with JQ posters as well).
They keep it interesting here at least.
An easy solution would be to apologize for promoting extremist ideologies, fire all regressive leftists on staff, and then make reasonable efforts to reverse any donations to extremist causes.
They really are desperate. I always wanted F1 in Rocket League, since I started playing...but RL is dead to me, like all feminist sympathisers.
No amount of money will fix it, Epic. Get Psyonix to give a full apology, condemn that hateful ideology and donate to men's rights or the game dies.
u/AntonioOfVenice - was I just a crazy person? Because to me it looks like they got hurt a lot by their little message.
Not 'was'. 'Am'. And the answer to that is yes.
How? Did you even link the correct tweet?
Clearly not.
Because they keep holding events, over and over and over again, to drag people over. Only dying games spam things like this as a desperate survival strategy.
Fortnite has events and tie ins constantly. They are literally just taking what worked for their cash cow to rocket league.
That's actually a fair point. But this game never needed it before, this is highly irregular behavior.
Player count is still down. I hope it keeps falling and all these desperate attempts fail. Then Epic might cut their losses and send this game to the Pearly Gates with Paragon and all their other flops. Oh, and all the virtue signallers will be out of a job.

The “virtue signallers” are probably one social media manager or community manager who would not get blamed for a 6 year old game losing players.
That's true, but if the game gets shut down, everyone involved will be fired. That's my goal.
So artist, programmers, and designers that had nothing to do with it will all lose their jobs. Kind of a crappy thing to wish on someone because the intern running their social media accounts doing what the pr team told them to. But again, a drop in players and an uptick of events for a 6 year old game has nothing to do about some dumb tweet about feminism
I can print out a certificate for you, if you want, or deliver it to you in PDF format.
What, they're trying to get more people to play their games?
Companies would never do that.
Also, literally no one in the responses is complaining about your little obsession.
Okay, go ahead.
Last time there was a tie-in in RL was literally before Epic bought it. They aren't common. Throwing them in one after the other is proof that the game is dying.
Silent Majority!
So they've been 'dying' since before Epic bought them. Did you also play a role in that downfall?

AoV, history doesn't repeat but it frequently rhymes.
Do you know why the feminists have been so effective over the last fifty years? It's because they do not let reason get in the way of narrative.
Not every company has a vast majority male userbase.
Oh you sweet summer child...
Can someone explain this war between TheImpossible1 and AntonioOfVenice?
It's not as clear cut as one vs the other as both argue different points about the same things at times while also having a "rabbit season/duck season" back and forth about who is to blame.

It's an actual tard fight.

He's still mad I called out his TERF allies as the backstabbing traitors with sick fantasies that they are.
Trying to get Fortnite players to come over
The offending post that caused the downfall.
An easy solution would be to apologize for promoting extremist ideologies, fire all regressive leftists on staff, and then make reasonable efforts to reverse any donations to extremist causes.
