In a just world, displaying such open anti-customer sentiment would be grounds for immediate firing and exile from the industry.

Considering how prominent leftism has become at CDPR he'll probably get promoted.

I made my own thread on this but it disappeared because this site is broken and gay. Have my selection of quotes from this faggot:

In a thread from May 2022, he wrote, “Unfriendly reminder that anyone who responds to calls for diversity with ‘How is this fair? Hiring should be based on skill’ usually has no skill whatsoever. If you claim you can't get a job because you're straight and white, I'm sorry -- you can't get a job because you're s***e.

Concerning Rings of Power, he wrote in 2023, “Tolkien fans obsessed with ‘accuracy’ are so f***ing weird. ‘Nobody cares about this adaptation’ — why do you care about any adaptation then? The only reason you're upset about Rings of Power is because ‘critiquing’ it allows you to pretend your vitriol and bigotry have value.”

To no surprise, he’s projecting as in his next post he claims that Sam has brown skin, “What's also funny is that most of the loudest Tolkien ‘fans’ online constantly tell on themselves You've read the books, yeah? Cool, so you know Sam has dark skin. How accurate was it to cast Sean Astin then? What's that? Speak up please, I can't hear you — where are you going?”

In September 2023, he wrote, “If you are an adult who loses their mind at the concept of pronouns, which everyone, everywhere, throughout all of history has used every single day, there is something wrong with your life but it's not what you think it is. The Wokes aren't out to get you. You're just a clown.”

Maher wrote, “I wonder if they realize that by harassing trans writers who have rightfully and justifiably critiqued Cyberpunk 2077’s haphazard and sometimes harmful representation of trans people, that they themselves are the exact kind of people that cyberpunk is designed to destroy: fascistic, unempathetic, and depraved proponents of a regime designed to foster irreversible and indiscriminate misery in technophilic dystopia.”

CDP managed to hire the most stereotypical, gamer-hating, woke spouting urinalist caricature as their 'franchise & lore designer'. Weird!

“Unfriendly reminder that anyone who responds to calls for diversity with ‘How is this fair? Hiring should be based on skill’ usually has no skill whatsoever.

Christie Golden tried this with her World of Warcraft books. She whined that the people criticizing her weren't published writers, and so were not allowed to voice their dislike of her trash novels written at a high school quality. This level of narcissism is truly mind-blowing. I wonder how much of it is at the core of the rot of the world.

It's the position of authority fallacy all over again. "I'm a published writer. Are you? No? Then sit down and shut up."

And I guarantee if there were any actual writers who cared enough to criticize her work, they would be completely ignored to keep the narrative going. As usual.

More likely they'd be ostracized and canceled.

You may have noticed the same pattern during the COVID19 lockdowns and global vaxx campaign. There were numerous licensed doctors and other healthcare workers speaking out against the establishment narrative, but they were banned, mocked, and sometimes removed from their positions.

"You can't criticize me, you are not worthy of criticizing me because you are a lesser rank."

"I am a worthy rank, and I will criticize you."

"You are just a sexist/bigot. You cannot criticize me." Ruins more IPs/whole countries

It's all so tiresome.

Its continually amusing that Golden was once considered the "good" writer because Knaak was just that fucking bad, and it has come around full circle that she herself became even worse than him.

Why and how are the worst possible people continuing to be put in charge of all our best media franchises? The bigger the IP, the more fringe and insane the new hires. These jobs have the biggest pool of potential good employees in the world. How many die hard Witcher fans would jump at the opportunity to steward the next installment of this game series? Literally millions of people? So how do they choose someone who hates the fans and wants only to subvert the IP?

The same way it works in every industry across the board. Networking and nepotism.

While you slave away through passion and getting skilled for the job, these are the guys schmoozing around with all the big wigs at all these companies with their prepared speeches and friendly (to them) demeanor.

And like it always happens, when they need to fill the position they pick the guy they know and like who impressed them and was good friends with guys they know are good at things, instead of the faceless resume on their desk.

Its also how Jews and Blacks always go from one hire to literally the entire department or industry.

HR and managers drive away senior talent, either by crunch, erasing their contributions, meetoing them, etc.

Wokes subvert the company from inside until they're left with true believers, who are happy to appropiate the Ip and apathetic people who are willing to take shit in order to work in that prestigious company.

The new pozzed workers reject any actual leadership that don't align with their agenda, refuse to compromise and weaponize gaming journalists. Suits appoint one of those backstabber managers or someone who's recommended by them

All that's left from the old company is brand recognition. The wokes parade the subverted established franchises and antagonize the old fanbase while journos run damage control.

The company eventually underperforms and the wokes jump shit to another one

Yeah, it's really, really fucking stupid. The filters Dom set up are nuking a lot of stuff that shouldn't be, he's not around to fix it, and he doesn't care...and it still doesn't stop the actual bad actors.

“Unfriendly reminder that anyone who responds to calls for diversity with ‘How is this fair? Hiring should be based on skill’ usually has no skill whatsoever. If you claim you can't get a job because you're straight and white, I'm sorry -- you can't get a job because you're s***e.

Well, let's say for the sake of argument that's true. Anyone who says 'hiring shouldn't be based on skill, and should instead be based on my skin color," is definitely is lacking in the skill department. And needs to stop ruining society, posthaste.

It's amazing how these people are so indoctrinated, and so attached to being the Good Guys, they can't even think through basic logic. Why is it more "fair" to base things off skin color? Why is hiring based on skill discriminatory toward the privileged minority? Why do some African countries still discriminate against whites, even when whites are the minority? I wish you could have an honest conversation with SJWs, and get them to think about things.

How do these lunatics live with themselves? Also, how have people been so successfully gaslit into not just putting up with them, but giving them cushy jobs?

"Maher"

Nothing indicates the potential of great customer service and quality product than proudly stating "My customers are fucking stupid, and I hate them."

When a company IPOs, it becomes less about making a good product and more about dazzling stupid retail normies into buying your stock and cashing out at the top.

I can assure you of one thing: the people who call Cyberpunk 2077 perfect and refuse to acknowledge its failings are the very same people who have no place in the society that cyberpunk warns against.

So the people you view as ontologically evil have no place in the hellish dystopia you also claim is critiquing them? This guy is a writer, technically.

This explain why the original devs of Cd Projekt that made the witcher 3 and cp 2077 packed their bags and left to create their own studios.

Cd Projekt is now a walking corpse like Bioware.
