Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
That seems a bit obsessive, and I doubt you will be particularly satisfied by the "explanation", assuming someone asks him about it irl.
Right on the second point, wrong on the first.

Again, this isn't your classic case of rage farmers grasping at straws for lack of content, there's much more to it. Warhorse stood for years as champions for authenticity against the "fuck history" crowd and they decide to bend the knee when the activist journo machine collapsed, game journalism shrunk to insignificance and nobody really gives a shit anymore? What a sad, ridiculous story.

Seriously now. We don't live in a world with an abundance of AAA creative leads who take stands like these in public:



Support the guy who is on your side and against the other side. If you think you're locked in a struggle to the death against enemies of civilization, it's crazy not to.

Warhorse is now owned by Koch Media (apparently renamed as Plaion) from Germany. So it isn't that weird to say some corpo decided that bending the knee is a safer course of action. It will still take some more time for developers and publishers to realize the tide is turning and the whole woke/ESG/DEI thing is not worth the money and effort (assuming they won't be deluding themselves it is important for good PR). I also wouldn't discount the corpos' fear of any negative PR in general (this means criticism from activists and game journalism).

Being serious now the same dude he RT'ed also said he will look into the body type crap, lets see if Vavra also tweets about this

I get it, I am just saying that if you expect some kind of self-flaggelation or making excuses, explanations or apologies, you are likely to be disappointed. Wherever the decision came from or whatever the motivation, it is what it is.
Unless of course Warhorse literally unearthed some document that made the the guy's presence in the area plausible and not including him would be ahistorical. But how likely is that? I do not think very.

But to be honest, given how no-fucks-given troll Vávra is online (see above) I would not be surprised if the decision to include the guy came from him simply because he wanted to do it, to troll people

We have enough niggers in real life, why vavra have to torment us? He betrayed us.
We do? I barely see any black people in Poland. Last time I spoke to one was most likely when I studied abroad, like 18 years ago.
Nigga I went to fucking Pančevo by train on 2 separate days and I saw not 1, but TWO niggresses... IN FUCKING PANČEVO!
Therefore, send not to know

It's not implausible, however it is lazy tokenism throwing some unambiguously African guy in the corner just to appease the yellow rags.
They do this shit but keep Cumans as sub one-dimensional video game "bandits" it'll be dissapointing.

I know, I follow him. But I don't know.... I know they said repeatedly Plaion don't tell them what to do but maybe it came from the very top - Embracer. Apparently they're sinking and according to some reports KCD2 massive success is basically the only thing that can save them. Maybe they broke their hands-off rule just for this time to push through some ridiculous token POC to avoid the same shitstorm as 7 years ago.

Except they somehow didn't notice this time around absolutely nobody would've given a fuck.

Copium runs strong ITT.

Vavra runs the cunning strategy: HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW CHUDS? *wink* *wink* please buy my game

But like all other devs, he accepted Blackrock money and sweet DEI money he pretends to fight against.

They only have one ideology: Money.

On some level I respect Ryzer's shtick.

A miserable frenchman so devoid of hope, he lives only to infect others with his black thoughts.
A spiritual vampire who feeds on hope. And snails, I guess.

Okay, I don't have enough copium for this, it's authentic, and shit's fucked.
Don't trust your chud eyes, Vavra has a BASED and REDPILLED explanation for this, you know shit about shit.
