Yea, gently caress that guy. There is absolutely no way that apology is genuine. It takes time to deprogram and he’s claiming to have done it in days?

One of the leaked posts literally makes fun of a developer who apologized about transphobic posts out of fear of being "smeared as unwoke" and gloats that the silent majority of Real Gamers are more important than pandering to the SJW fake gamers who were never going to buy your game anyways. That he instantly crumpled the moment the spotlight was turned on him out of cowardice is completely unsurprising but he's absolutely acting with a degree of knowing cynicism rather than any genuine attempt at making good, hopefully when it finally hits him that he's almost 40 and is effectively ostracized from every community and industry he has spent his adult life endearing himself to he'll decide to actually try and fix his heart instead of giving up and becoming a blackpilled shell of a person.

Lol I don't know what you posted originally but it is pretty funny that anyone posts about believing the victims in a forum where 100% of the revenue goes to fighting the lawsuits from Lowtax's ex-wives like he's a 45 year old Scott Pilgrim

it's probably worth keeping in mind that this was almost entirely localized to SA, and that this is only known about by non-goons because he is apologizing for it publicly. the shithead way to handle this would have been to just autoban his SA account and pretend nothing happened.

Same here and I don't mean to sound like I'm mad about anybody believing victims, it's more just that I've seen the latest allegations about Lowtax beating his partners and it has me a little angry. hosed up! But it's been the same story for years and years at this point.

e: post locked. About the time Ubisoft scolded a developer for her behavior in a meeting ... which she hadn't attended because she was on a plane to Australia at the time. She had receipts. Ubisoft told her "That doesn't matter."

Meghna Jayanth has been curating a thread about abusive behavior in game development.

if you believe his ":does a thing: oh hehe I see :does next thing:" narration he didn't even know who she was before she messaged him, so that's some impressively creepy turbo-obsession for a game developer responding to a woman in the industry reaching out to him about his work
