I don't care. And really, neither should you. Are you here for the games, or the drama?

It's not drama when it degrades the quality of those games. It directly impacts your enjoyment.

It's not a difficult concept. If a game or developer is moving in a direction you don't like, find another that you do like. It's really that simple.

Wouldn't surprise me if he did. Gaming is full of people like this. And Warhammer 40k fandom even more so. A lot of disgusting mouthbreathing meatheads who think the Imperium is something to aspire to and get to thinly veil their real-life xenophobia in a guise of roleplay legitimacy.

And to think, at one time I thought I was the weird one because I liked to kill shit in video games. When I matured a bit I realized that the only thing weird about it was that I didn't give it much thought. It feels like a lot of people do after reading the comments section on youtube. I guess I am not as deep a thinker as I like to err....think. (?)

And please tell us how his comments are in any way controversial? Because they are not, and if you don't like it, take the door to the right. The CEO don't need to address it, all this is a bait from Kotuku and IGN trying to bait him into an argument just so they can toot their fked up horns.

Did you read the article? Or the post itself? I'm sure you are right there are a idiots in many fandoms, probably more so in Warhammer, where there is no "GOOD" faction. Apart from maybe the Tau, but even they are genocidal every now and again. But please, for the love of whatever you think is holy, don't paint with such a wide brush. It's unfair and wrong.

Rock Paper Shotgun is not going to be around for long. Their views are way out of touch with the majority of the gaming player base. Gamers are tired of 'messaging' in their games, from both the left and the right.

I personally fully support what the Saber CEO wrote and am happy to spend money on their games if this is going to be their guiding philosophy. Make good games and leave the messaging to the idiots who want their projects to fail.

Probably a sock puppet account for somebody else here.

In it, the poster thanks youtuber Asmongold for the video

The moment this goober‘s name is mentioned anything that comes after in relation to the shit he spews out of his mouth, is automatically lacking in any merit whatsoever in my view.

I want dumb warhammer games that take themselves super seriously. I've been a fan since shadow of the horned rat! I spent too much on minis and then gave them all away to younger relatives who then sold them for profit.
But nothing should be without criticism. And I would never want my library to be exclusively bro-shooter/slasher flavoured. 40K is insane and people should be able to write about how insane it is. The chuds that are so thinned skinned the mildest of milktoast criticism of a property which will change/add lore with the express purpose of making you buy a $140 demon or vehicle you already own a second time need to chill the fuck out. They don't have to buy Last of Us 2 or whatever the current brigade target of the month is if they are scared of lesbians, but the goal should always be for a variety of products so as many people find something to enjoy as possible and maybe something will come along that will actually surprise you.

Yeah, back when I played WoW more consistently I used to watch some of his videos and streams. He had some thoughtful opinions on the direction of the game and how things should be. He wasn't always the way he is now. Somewhere along the way, he embraced the "slobby gamer who lives in a pile of trash" stereotype and he got fully captured by the "Angry White Gamer" crowd and when he streams his chat looks like a Trump rally.

This article is just bait. There is nothing controversial about the developer's post, the only thing controversial is the original video (which again, the article gets wrong, is NOT Asmonogold's) and it is only controversial because it goes against the grain of what the mainstream gaming media thinks gaming should be about.

I wonder what it says about gamers who own a vast library of Warhammer games and also games like "Her Story", "Gone Home", "Life is Strange", "Dustborn", etc as I do.

Oh wait... No I don't. I don't give a shit.

Yeah, I'm on the "Zero Fucks Given" train myself. I own a vast variety of games (though nothing on the order that you do). An enjoyable game is an enjoyable game. Unless something deeply resonates with me, it's all just entertainment.

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw. When I started gaming AD&D back in the 80s I really wasn't dwelling on the moral ramifications of racism, violence, sexism, and all the other shite. I was just having fun with friends and looking for teh phat lewtz.

That room of his is a FEMA declared disaster area. Gross person, gross in opinion, gross in living habits.

Maybe its all bait-y But mentioning Asmongolds name in anything makes my blood pressure shoot up.
