There's something utterly repulsive about his speech patterns.

She looks white because of the glowing ball of energy on her hand, I think. But those eyes and lips are usually used to depict latino women (...)
Green eyes aren't used to depict the stereotyped view that americans have of latinos.

She looks typically european.

She has enough ethnic hints so that the dev can claim being inclusive, while being white enough for it to have no effect on any possible sales, meaning this whole thing is just a different kind of marketing spin (a la Gone Home), where the spin doctors just coopt the SJW lingo to try and sell their game.

Should have used "proud WOC" somewhere btw, research fail.

How come a woman can be born a man, but a black woman can't be born with skin as white as snow? It makes no logical sense. If this sista believes she's black, then she becomes black, and we should all respect her post-modern freedom of choice.

SJW types on Tumblr seem to live in some kind of hallucinated parallel universe, it's the only logical explanation for their demented bullshit.

Dark Matter pulled from Steam, after team is laid off
dark%20matter%20long.jpg

October 22, 2013 | By Mike Rose

Interwave Studios, the company behind the much-discussed Metroid-like Dark Matter, says that it is working on an ending to its game -- but there's a little more to the story.

The Iceberg Interactive-published Dark Matter was pulled from Steam and GOG.com this week, after it emerged that the game did not have a proper ending. Players who reached the end of the game are told "To be continued" -- although no sequel is planned.

Interwave, the studio behind the game, has now said that this abrupt ending was as a result of its Kickstarter failing earlier this year, and that it would be adding an ending in a later patch.

"At present, the end of the game may cause confusion and is not satisfactory," Iceberg CEO Erik Schreuder admitted. "We sincerely apologise for this, as it is not of the standard we would expect. We are working to offer a more conclusive and satisfying ending to the game as we speak and expect a fix to appear as soon we are able to."

However, what the team has failed to disclose is that it isn't working on the title anymore. After the Kickstarter failed earlier this year, most of the Interwave team was let go between July and August, and the vast majority of the original Dark Matter developers are not working on the title any more, according to Gamasutra sources.

A source close to the studio told Gamasutra that Interwave is now a "sleeping company," with only a bare minimum of management at the studio, and insufficient developers to finish the title under current staffing levels. However, it's unclear whether third-parties would be able to finish the game separately of the original team.

UPDATE: Another source close to the studio has told Gamasutra that an external company is now handling the game's ending, and that none of the original developers are still working on the game.

The entire Interwave team, minus two management staffers, were let go during July and August. When the Kickstarter failed, the original idea was to package it up as Dark Matter: Episode 1 and use sales of the game to re-hire the original team and carry onwards -- however, this plan fell through.

Let me start by saying: This is a sensitive subject to many people, and I will not hesitate to close this thread if discussion gets out of hand.

Yes, the main character in Eldritch is a non-sexualized woman of color. In game, Eldritch lets you customize your character. Customization makes no real difference in the game, but it's important to me. It was also important to me that the default character was not exactly like me (i.e., a cisgender heterosexual white man).

The representation of women (as well as minorities and marginalized people of all kinds) in games has been and continues to be a problematic part of our medium.

Eldritch is a very "video game-y" video game, for lack of a better term, and is neither intended nor well suited to address social politics. And, frankly, I'm not the person for that job. But in an industry where marketing teams remove women from box covers because market research says games will move more units that way, I can't do nothing. Honestly, making the protagonist of Eldritch a woman feels insubstantial and insignificant compared to the meaningful work being done by my peers, but I need to do at least this small bit to improve a problematic aspect of video games.
:lol: Why do that? Why not just do it and leave it? This "look at me, I'm a fucking revolutionary" shit is beyond retarded.

This is called being DUMB AS SHIT. Had them simply added a "Episode 1" to the title and a "To be continued..." screen at the end, no one would've been bitching.

They don't explain why the plan "fell through". Why would it fall through? It's just a name.

I assume the license owner had some sort of feud with the game's original team or for some other reason they refused to commit to a second episode. In any case, now they're all fucked. Morons.

Yeah, they somehow thought that releasing it without an end was more legit than releasing as Ep 1 with no planned Ep 2... hindsight is a bitch, I guess.

Valve has already shown that it's quite OK to release episodes 1 and 2 with no plans to make episode 3, so I don't think steam would complain, at least.

At this stage the best think Valve could do is embrace their inner asshole and release 'Half-life 3: episode 1'.

I looked up all those twitter accounts and guess what: all the people in those images who responded to him were troll accounts specifically created to troll that guy and a couple of others. Le false flag operation as they would say on reddit.

I refuse to call myself "cisgender". Fucking refuse.
Too bad, that's what you are, cissie. Do you refuse to think of yourself as hetero too?

Good goy. That's a classic librul tactic of changing the language in their favour. Started when they reinvented the word 'gay' to mean 'homosexual'. Later on, they labeled their opponents 'homophobes', because phobias are bad, amirite? Now it's 'transphobic', 'cisgender' and whatnot and what have you.

People buying games basing on skin colour of protagonist. Fucking insane asylum, it's no wonder that Lesi went batshit insane and started writing about people grinding machines.
