“You’ve lost my business,” Nightdive Studios head Stephen Kick said. “Anyone who supports this monster deserves to go down with him.”
These people are the monsters. Anyone using language like "go down" directly after an assassination attempt all but explicitly support the assassination attempt. Or are retarded, and can't choose their words for shit. I'm going with the former, though. Well...and the latter, actually.
Retarded monsters, that's what we're dealing with.
they spent the last 8 years rioting, looting, burning, threatening, and debanking, all while convinced they are the underdogs and victims. what can anyone really expect?
This is why I hate it when people defend the gaming industry. "Attack the publishers not the developers!" Time and again throughout GG game devs have proven to be complete shitheads. The only good thing about indie studios are that you can shift through tons of content and find some real gems that the AAA studios would never put out. They're still by and large shitty people.
Yep. The ground level developers in AAA and larger indie have mostly come from the game degree mills at major universities. These people are dyed in the wool brainwashed leftists. All three pillars of the industry - enthusiast press, devs, executives - are cut from the same cloth.
The very concept of a college degree in game design is such a joke to me, that honestly explains so much about why current year AAA game design is such dogshit. Make any art into a college degree and it's gonna be standardized for NPC's, that's why AAA devs treat their own players like retards who need to have their hand held and why game studios have concepts like "situational disabilities."
Also yet another reason why academia needs to be slimmed back down to real degrees and standards need to be raised back up, midwits with degrees are ruining so many professions that never fucking needed them.
I bet at this rate "sex work" will be legalized in blue states and there'll be college degrees for being a hooker. Granted plenty of college girls are hooking anyways so maybe that's not as crazy as it sounds.
I watched the Valve 25 year anniversary Half-Life documentary last night, and at one point, Gabe gives a run down of everyone who worked on the game. Not one "game dev," but two people with random M.S.es, one PhD candidate, and one Waffle House manager who no degree at all.
Because gaming is a hobby, not a freakin job. Yeah people need to get paid, but when you try make a factory out of it, you end up with suck. People should be in it because they like it.
I'm sure it doesn't help that so many people in game dev these days just couldn't get into the film industry, and with the majority of AAA budgets going to artfags that's gonna really dial up the pozz to 11.
Yeah game dev is more like scripting. Not even computer scripting -- though that is where the term comes from -- just scripting. And animating. There is really no computer science stuff needed, and a look at the code of some games proves that.
If you wanted to develop games, I'd tell you to get a degree in something else. Computer science is all about stuff you can safely ignore if all you want to do is make games. I mean you can learn as much of it as you want.
And you can learn to program while getting any degree; most STEM probably requires it these days.
So I would say get a degree in something that you like. If you like cars, get a degree in mechanical engineering and then maybe make a racing game.
If you do computer science without any actual inclination toward a particular task, you can end up qualified to write software for nothing.
The headline confused me. I thought the guy was boycotting his own company. :D
He's boycotting "Sticker Mule, a printing service company", for these reasonable words:
“Donald Trump was shot. I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far.” Sticker Mule cofounder Anthony Constantino said in a statement sent out to their customers and on social media. He added, “People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself. Americans shouldn’t live in fear. I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do. Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden. The political hate needs to stop.”
"My personal beliefs are my own and do not reflect the views of my company."
"My company won't do business with you if I personally disagree with your statements."
Which one is it faggot?
"I reacted off the cuff to a crass attempt to turn a horrible moment in our country’s history into a marketing opportunity."
"Anyone who supports this monster deserves to go down with him."
I'm sorry but you're trying to suggest this was purely a business decision? Fuck off. What a two-faced liar.
Doublethink is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in your head at the same time and to believe them both. It's a vital skill to have for leftist faggots.
Disabling replies is a feature that needs to die. This fucking rat can cheer the murder of bystanders but can't even take mean words on the internet directed back at him.
Spread this stuff to anyone who'll read it - news outlets, reviewers, FB groups, YouTubers, etc.
The more of these knuckleheads that are held accountable to their own words and actions, the better. Cancel culture sucks, but if that's the game they want to play, so be it. Beat them at their own game.
So nightdive just went full retard and called for the murder of trump and all his supporters. Well, good to know they are terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.
The central statement of the milquetoast tweet he was responding to was just that 'the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far.'
The logical conclusion of NightDive man's anger is that he disagrees and thinks that trying to kill Trump or successfully shooting his supporters in the head is not going far enough. It's generous to call it thinly veiled anything.
He's issued a "sorry, not sorry" blurb trying to walk it back a bit. I imagine Atari (owns "his" company) took him out to the wood shed and knocked him around a bit.
It seems like the vast majority of people feigning outrage at Sticker Mule are either bots or degenerates, and I doubt most of the people saying they will no longer be doing business with SM ever shopped there to begin with.

Let's not forget the attempt to force us to take the fake vaccine.
No quarter for leftists.
Demoralized, broken, psychologically abused people. They would be pitiable if they weren't so dangerous.
It's the same reason that troons are such a threat.
Yep. All fruit of the same tree.

Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t game dev just a subset of computer science and imo that and programming are things that would be ‘real degrees’.
It is. Back in my time there were no "game developer" studies, just computer science, which encompassed information systems and programming.
For game development back then, all you had to do was know how to code moving pixels to the screen using Basic or QBasic, and go from there.
If you wanted to develop games, I'd tell you to get a degree in something else. Computer science is all about stuff you can safely ignore if all you want to do is make games. I mean you can learn as much of it as you want.
And you can learn to program while getting any degree; most STEM probably requires it these days.

Somehow the right is accused of "inflammatory rhetoric"
The headline confused me. I thought the guy was boycotting his own company. :D
He's boycotting "Sticker Mule, a printing service company", for these reasonable words:
Burn the witch!
"Hatred is the minimum effort someone should have against our deontologically evil enemies!!!"
He runs a printing company, not a writing company.
Oh, you meant the OP's title. Right. Sorry, yeah, I didn't think this it was terribly well written to be honest, lol.
Milquetoastism is Proto-Fascism
I've used them back around 2019, top quality stickers.
https://files.catbox.moe/u7tify.jpg
At this point, I have no need of stickers for my new company. But I'll buy an order, and tell them this is the reason why.
and nightdive studios has lost me as a potential customer. i was thinking up picking up system shock. well, not now.
He did delete the tweet and wrote something instead, that is not an apology, if this matters.
it does not
Sad, as Nightdive has been releasing pretty good remasters of old shooters, like Turok or System Shock.
Yeah, “muh executives” is just Reddit cope. Most devs are both highly political retards and incompetent.
Games companies are more coast-biased than even other software companies. And younger. Statistically you are right.
Aren’t those remasters like 30 bucks each? Easiest piracy decision of my life.
I had the Powerslave and Shadow Man remasters on my Steam wishlist, removed them now thx.
It's not sad for me. As someone who considers my wishlist kind of an extension of my gaming backlog, it just shrunk.
Never give money to people who want you dead.
I'll just go play the original. System Shock 2 is better, anyways.
What a cuck.
Deleted and semi-retracted. So coward as well as a bastard.
You shouldn't be allowed to delete tweets after they pick up engagement. Just retract only.
''Semi-retracted'' = lies about what he wrote to imply something totally different.
Did this guy delete his tweet? I can see the archived version in the article but I'm having trouble finding it in context.
Yes. He posted an apology with locked down replies and one of the people he follows still flipped him off lmao. https://x.com/pripyatbeast/status/1813629224357638547

Those brazen lies in his non-apology. Wow.
Disabling replies is a feature that needs to die. This fucking rat can cheer the murder of bystanders but can't even take mean words on the internet directed back at him.
He did.
Damn that sucks. Welp time show them the door. And the high seas.
He did delete the tweet and wrote something instead, that is not an apology, if this matters.
It's based on Seattle. I've met them several times. The hipster look is strong with them.

Nightdive Studios permanent boycott, no exceptions. Bridge burned.

So nightdive just went full retard and called for the murder of trump and all his supporters. Well, good to know they are terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.
Oh, ''go down with him'' along with dehumanizing language. I thought this was a no-no?
Sounds like thinly-veiled condoning of mass killings of Trump and his supporters.
Let's see the consequences, if any, that will come, and remember the standarts the Left wants to set.
The central statement of the milquetoast tweet he was responding to was just that 'the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far.'
The logical conclusion of NightDive man's anger is that he disagrees and thinks that trying to kill Trump or successfully shooting his supporters in the head is not going far enough. It's generous to call it thinly veiled anything.
