They were willing to change it once people brought it up to them, but they didn't actually understand the deal at first and were just going off of I think it was statistics from like okcupid. E: This feels like a pretty relevant thing to bring to the conversation, they didn't know what to do for that whole social bit so they went off dumb numbers from a dating site. People told them it's weird and they then understood that it sounded like.

Relevant or not, the awful mods thread is not the place for social issues. If someone is stupid about mod ideas, make fun of them. If it spills over into the realm of people getting uptight about social issues, leave it alone.

I mean to be fair backer bios are essentially mods that people paid the developer to include in the base game. There's no quality control (have you played Prison Architect? Same problem).

Same problem). The lack of 'quality control' on backer rewards always puzzles me. Someone has to actually go through those submissions to transfer them to the game, you'd honestly think it not that hard to shoot an email to someone telling them 'No, we're not going to add your Nazi OC or some poo poo about how you have issues with women, pick something else you loving grog'.

But then they might cry to Kickstarter or Paypal about being unwilling to provide backer rewards and you lose all your money and  This is actually one of the reasons Kickstarter has some major issues.

There's zero monetary (or sanity) reason to enforce any sort of quality control or standards over it. You waste the man hours implementing whatever method you have of showing them off, you do a Ctrl+F on submissions to make sure they're not racist hate tirades and you wash your hands of the entire thing.

I don't think even the people who pay $Texas for the chance to write their fanfic into a video game would think that fanfic would reflect on the quality of the developers own work. (No you don't need to prove me wrong on this. Please.)

If it's in the work itself it would and it would be silly to consider otherwise. You don't get to pick and choose within the game itself.

The proper thing to do is to announce from the start that player contributions will only be shown if the player turns on an option like Fallout New Vegas' Wild Wasteland trait (the one that activates a bunch more internet jokes and stuff to show up). That way whatever weird idiots with too much money want is still in the game, but the regular player doesn't have to see that stuff in a normal playthrough.

Good god you guys, you passed over the best mod ever. Edit: Only way to make it better is to make the attendant, Michael Tillotson, have a voice pack and says "So Says Mr. Stewart"

there's plenty of precedent for moderating backer contributions; inXile did it on both WL2 and Tides and there's no egregiously weird backer poo poo in either of those games to my knowledge however, inXile is a well established company run by an industry veteran, and many crowdfunding projects are startups run by what's charitably described as scrappy, passionate up-and-comers who wouldn't have had a chance in hell of pursuing their dreams 20 years ago. the comparison is still slightly apples to oranges because reviewing the body of work you're soliciting from people is still a lot of work and startups are frequently overwhelmed by details like that. this isn't to excuse any of this, merely to explain it.

I think Rimworld does it right in the way Pillars of Eternity does its OC backer characters:

Since I guess we're talking about games with kickstarter backer OCs now, I was surprisingly impressed with how Valdis Story handled them. It's an extremely good metroidvania with a cartoony big-head style. You start off shipwrecked, and as you go through the game you can optionally find all the missing members of your crew, nearly all of which were named and described by backers. Two I particularly remember were a loner ninja named "Shadoboxxer" and a floating corgi with a top-hat who only speaks in barks named "Sir Pancakes." It sounds ridiculous, but their art and general presentation were so well matched with the rest of the game that I couldn't guess that they were backer-designed until I was almost done with it.

Over in Trad Games land, some rear end in a top hat made a stink after the developers for Blue Rose rewrote his he-man homophobe ranger NPC and his pet hawk 'Trigger Warning' into something that wasn't obviously trying to take a huge poo poo in their game. Nothing came of it.Coolguye posted:there's plenty of precedent for moderating backer contributions; inXile did it on both WL2 and Tides and there's no egregiously weird backer poo poo in either of those games to my knowledge Didn't Tides ship with a backer-written tombstone describing someone committing suicide after drunkenly sleeping with a cross-dresser? Or am I thinking of Pillars? It's not hard to hand a stack of contributions to an intern, or go through them a handful at a time during a break, but if the person doing the vetting thinks that old memes or crass jokes are still funny and worthy of inclusion, then you're back to square one.

The tombstone was sent back to the writer after people complained, which fanned a lousy joke into a small trash fire. It might have been avoided by skimming submissions for ASCII dicks and Pepes, and at the same time it might have flown under a proofreader's radar because they thought it was funny. Same kind of thing might go in a scenario where someone submits a sex slave to a game whose developer doesn't see anything odd about using a dating site's data for modeling sexual preferences.

It was written well enough such that anybody skimming entries for suitability would not have parsed any problematic content within it.
