I like how it is also showing his disdain for gamers, by writing it like that. You know, the ones that made his career, by buying and liking his game.

You might think he's acting belittling and talking down to people that aren't triggered by the camera showing a woman's rear for a couple of seconds in a video game, but that's just how Californians talk normally and he's a man of his word, he's clicking those porn links and chatting up the twitter thirst traps and sub to their onlyfans. Search his office computer browser history and you'll find him literally googling "butt porn" at one point. It's friendly advice from the grandfather of coomers. Cook-Cook and the Icewind Dale 2 rape scenes don't write themselves. All that jerking off must have lowered his T levels to a point where he is now considering transitioning into a troon, for the same reason he got worse at making video games. Creativity sits in your balls.

Nah, I think it's just evidence of self loathing. Fucker was one of us and now is trying to act like he's above us in order to justify his salary, but he still hasn't developed any social skills and is somehow even less personable than the average Codexian basement dweller.

Options when you're famous.

1. Be happily married.
2. Have a harem of 20+ beautiful and exotic women from around the world.
3. Simp for random "sex workers" on the internet.

Hmmmmmm.

He has been scrubbing his history to cover this up badly.

You need to find better dirt on him

Respect for posting these, but I'm just not that interested in the guy. I only found out the other stuff through 2nd hand info, not through looking it up myself.
The way I see it Josh Sawyer represents everything wrong with current western civilization. An incompetent degenerate who has somehow managed to fail upward through nepotism and being a sycophant to make probably between 150-250k per year.

He was a so-so game designer that eventually gave up and became...whatever the fuck he is now.

Eh, I said this on an earlier post but aside from Icewind dale(which he wasn't lead on) and FNV. I don't like any of his games.

Bear in mind he didn't make Kotor 2, he only joined obsidian for NWN 2(which was absolutely god awful). He also had nothing to do with MOTB or SOZ which I haven't played but some people like.

He only became the lead designer on NWN 2 in the final stretch before its release:

Link to the interview.

His job was to salvage what he could from a mismanaged project that had been overscoped and was running out of time.

Josh Sawyer is a man who parlayed web design work for a tattoo parlor into a job at Interplay managing its website, following which he somehow transitioned almost immediately to a designer on Icewind Dale and then lead designer on Icewind Dale II. In fairness to Sawyer, he's a competent project lead, capable of bringing games to completion on time and within budget, but he's an absolutely wretched designer and a generally poor writer.

Always has been. :positive:

You are totally not that interested in the guy.

He shares a lot of info about development, and he's very knowledgeable about history. I enjoy listening to his interviews. He's mainly tweeting about bicycles and mixing drinks online plus the occasional post about women. I watched a few of his streams and he's pretty chill, just plays a game for an hour and answers questions from chat.
