Hey. Glad you're here. If you're just a normal man (or woman) and think all this insanity needs to end, you're in the right place. We hope you subscribe.
k thanks.
I wouldn't say I'm "normal" but the insanity needs to end.
Glad to be here! That's fantastic, so, I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
If we could go back to a semblance of reality in coming months then I'll be happy.
Why do my comments keep disappearing on this channel?
WHOA!! Craig!! I haven't seen you since the Hard News days at Screwattack! :) I watched every single of those until it stopped... Nice to see you taking a moderate and intelligent stance with all of this! :)
This guy is posting the full context of his answer because he's worried the journalist will chop up his response and take thing out of context. He's right not to trust the media.
They still will, REEEset era already melted down over his comments
Guy might of seen what happened to the CEO of Farm Folk that trusted a journalist and expected them to have integrity and want to get the proper message out there and not turn in to an hit piece using his out of context words as ammo. Always happy to see people speak out against this journalists that only know how to write click bait hit pieces
@@WayStedYou Rætārd Era is more like it. I've never seen a site so filled with stupidity.
And he's not wrong. Should be commonplace actually, whenever you're about to be interviewed record it all and protect yourself.
That's what happened to the maker of that farm simulator, and Mercante from Kotaku interviewed him then misrepresented what he said.
It was nintendo who blacklisted Kotaku after kotaku essentially said to pirate zelda
Metroid, but you're right.
Kotaku was blacklisted by Ubisoft and Bethesda before that happened, I also heard the FF14 /16 team hates them for calling them racists
Meanwhile woke games are not even being pirated
@@Aenarion28not worth the space and time
@@Aenarion28 It's because nobody in their right mind want overly preachy pretentious slop.
I have often found that the biggest Virtue Signallers are the ones with the deepest closets full of skeletons, and I'm yet to be proven wrong.
This is I think academic at this point. It's no longer a hypothesis. Well said.
The only skeletons CDPR has is they hired a bunch of whiny dorks who have never worked a job before.
100% true.
@@CarlosBlua not necessarily. Confirmation bias is a thing. Yes, there are prettt high-profile cases of people like that having whole mausoleums of skeletons in their closet, there's a reason the trope of the on-the-surface softboi being actually an awful human is a thing.
But there's a reason it's a deception too. So don't get carried away by your dislike of scum because the moment you stop being rational is the moment they win.
Stating your opinion as fact is one thing. Demanding that others also adopt that opinion is an egregious step over the line.

It's scary to think this guy gave a very moderate and measured response, highlighting skepticism and rational thinking, and yet he's being attacked by the very lunatic mob he's warning against.
Monsters tend to attack anyone who might expose their existence.
It’s not scary, it’s pattern recognition. They’re basically Karens with itchy trigger fingers, begging for any excuse to snap and rage at people, but they need an excuse to not look like “the bad guys” so they get the fleeting feeling of satisfaction that comes from “I’m doing the RIGHT thing!”
Honestly, I can’t help but wonder if the guy is satisfied with this harassment to his calm, measured response.
“Thank you for proving my point, thank YOU for proving my point, OH, is that a “moral crusader” threatening to k-ll and grape my entire family?! Screenshot…send to police…and thank you for proving my point as well, you self-righteous lunatic!”
They’re perpetual victims. You don’t actually have to do anything wrong, you’re just there to temporarily satisfy their endless desire for attention.
Quite literally what every single extremist political movement has done in the entire history of mankind. Unfortunately it's gonna be a dogfight for a long, long time.
Ya have to stop expecting these cretins to respond with logic or rationalism or discernment. They are like robots on a program.
Most will steadfastly remain useful idiot shills with no comprehension of how biased or prejudiced they are.
Old Mark Twain saying to never try arguing with ignoramuses because they will bring you down to their level and obliterate you, because they are better at being ignorant.
Only a matter of time before Mark Twain is cancelled for writing Huckleberry Finn and using the N word despite his book depicting the South as hypocritical idiots and Jim, the "inferior" black man as the one person practicing the true values Christianity
“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” -Mark Twain
More developers should grow a spines and never comply against this nonsense!
Razor: 'REPLY, MOCK, IGNORE' This is about a tactic they're using, don't try to reason with them
it isnt their choice. ESG effects loan worthyness in publically traded companies. if they dont its considered a breach of fiduciary duty.

The problem is games "journalists" have no respect or even any idea for what journalism even means. Let's just call them bloggers because that's all their article are.
Personally I think that is a bit offensive to bloggers. Many bloggers do excellent research and try to show both sides of an argument. 😉
@@ajikpajik9331 Okay, so I guess maybe call them propagandists.
@@lance134679 I think we can agree on that. 😀
Already ten years ago it was revealed that almost none of them had a degree in journalism. They are glorified bloggers indeed.
They are mostly just "influencers". Just that they are incapable of influencing anyone, so they just use threats and coordinated attacks as well as slander to try and get people to at least a little do what they say.
Activists have a purposeful blind spot when it comes to tolerance of those they demand tolerance from.
What exactly are they asking you to no longer do?
@@VarianteMobile Dissent against what?
@@Dilapsor the so called gamer journalists and ESG/DEI activist companies aren't asking anyone to "no longer" do anything, they're asking people to "immediately start to" discriminate against white people and men.
You can not reason with the unreasonable.
The only thing the unreasonable will listen to is pain cause they don't think but only feel.
I don't think the moon studios guy is genuinely trying to reason with him. I think he posted that whole thing publicly himself because he knew the guy would just go public with an out of context sip and claim he called him a bad guy from ww2 unprovoked and all he did was ask an innocent question.
"reply, mock, ignore". move on
@@maddworld3317 hmm am i getting the context right?
I hope their next game, No Rest for the Wicked, become such a smash hit. If their CEO IS THIS BASED, they deserve an incredible win.
I bought the Early Access last week, it's been a hoot
I will never buy an Early Access game on principle but I can recommend the 2 Ori games without hesitation.
It’s in early access currently. Came out with some issues and got mixed reviews, but they’ve been crazy effective at rolling out fixes in rapid succession. They’re listening close to the fans and definitely know what they’re doing, I think it’s going to be big success.
are we talking about the same guy who just used a whole raft of WEF buzzwords like a bought and paid for puppet? Words such as STAKEHOLDER for one?!
This corporate shill is the one you are claiming as BASED??!!
The Ori games are genuinely brilliant.
Woke has ruined everything
Because it was hijacked (like all once just causes) by narcissistic activists who only cared about money and power and not *insert marginalized group here*.
Agreed
And those who question the term "woke" have already enabled companies to continue ruining our entertainment.
What? You don't like weird, stupid, ugly people making crap games and ruining the stuff we all love?
Call it by its real name. Marxism had ruined everything.

In the German replies Mahler gets a lot of heat because of an old story of a female ex-employee who tried to play the harassment card and failed. Mahler is very open about what this person did and still people attack HIM and not her.
Same with Alexis Kennedy and Failbetter. All the evidence points to a psycho ex but the company sided with her and still people try and drag him for it despite their being a mountain of evidence to the contrary. Support his newer games from his new company Cultist Simulator and Book of Hours.
As Yahtzee said on his hot coffee video:
_If the history of moral panics has taught us anything is that complying with the moral panic is the least effective way to win this; it's showing weakness isn't it? it's like saying to the frenzied shark "if you promise not to bite my hands and legs off you can have this used tampon"_
Can you give me the title of the video where he said this?
Politics never belonged in gaming to begin with, I mean the main point of escapism is to get away from the bs of the world, not overfeeding yourself with it until you're sick.
Games should go back to being apolitical, like Wolfenstein and Metal Gear
When political ideology is your entire life, you try to infuse it into everybody else's.

Well. Time to buy both Ori games.
i did a couple weeks back and I am halfway through the second one. Very different feels to each but improvement on the first. Although I like the first one for ranged combat more but maybe that is just unlocked late in 2.
Fun gameplay and satisfying visual story telling.
I like side scrollers and both are well worth a play, or a few in my case lol
It's well worth it. Just completed the games about 6 months ago, and I don't even like Metroidvania style games.
Always loved them. I even bought Ori and the Will of the Wisps artbook because the art is amazing and the soundtrack by Gareth Coker is excellent as well.
I bought it years ago, and don't really like it, but the wife did, so I guess it must have something.
Pretty sure Gina Carano said something similar and common sense, and the same types tried to socially crucify her for it.
I'm pretty sure she just said her pronouns where beep/bop/boop or something similar 😂
As an Austrian company, chances are that Thomas Mahler and Maurice Weber communicated in German, and it was just his tweet in English as a translation of what Mahler told Weber.
I still like the CP2077 world and game, but man The Witcher 1 remake is gonna modern audience'd so bad.
Nobody needs a remake anyways.
not like W3 wasnt already paying some progressive taxes with some quests and dialogues, it was so obvious that this would happen, only people that have not paid attention to the texts of sidequests would be surprised by this
Aside from remaking it, they'll rename it: "the wokitcher" 😂
@@henrlima87 Nah, theyll probably just make it about yennifer and ciri like the show
ESG snuck heavily into gaming in 2021 because investors saw the huge amount of people playing games while in lock-down and decided to drop a ton of money into the industry. We're starting to see the back end of that trend now: lots of absurd corpo diversity demands and lots of failed AAA projects that were bad ideas that got too much money.
It actually started earlier than that. One example being monster hunter 4 ultimate's translation, and even earlier with mega man battle network series in the early 2000s. Their firststrike imo was on the Japanese media that was ported to the west, before it became more pronounced in 2014, then more in 2017, and full blown by 2020 and up.
This preceeds the pandemic by a loooooooong time.
Don't forget big AAA games take 3-6 years to be made.
This stsrted around 2015, when corrupt ideologues escaped the shortlived victory of GG to create consultancies
@@nekoboyrin5475 No you're talking about a separate trend. Activist prog translators have been a problem for years and consumers should demand *accurate* translations to get them out of the industry, but ESG is very specific and about conforming to DEI standards in order to recieve investment capitol from big lenders.
While I'm sure some version of that has happened before, it really didn't take off like the trend we've seen recently in the gaming industry until rather recently. One or two companies might've been doing that in the past, but over the last few years several companies have hopped aboard this train in order to procure funds.
@@MidlifeCrisisJoe I agree that the investors exacerbated the problem, but what I'm stating is we will not only need to lose them, but the activists they are utilizing that have been doing these things for years prior as well. We would need companies that decide to vet their potential employees on the subjects first in addition to not taking esg handouts, in order to correct this. Speaking of esg, Vivek Ramaswamy goes into great length of detail explaining just how and why they are doing it.
No, semite bolshevics move their propaganda to whichever medium is more popular
It was Nintendo who blacklisted Kotaku.
Nintendo did, but I do remember there being a spat between someone and Kotaku before that. May have been Bethesda, may have been Ubisoft. I do believe it was Bethesda.
Bethesda, ff14/16 teams, and some other block them too
F*ck Kotaku
Honestly who cares, Kotaku is so totally irrelevant it may as well not exist at all.
All is missing is Razor spinning in his chair saying his classic phrase.
That thing about the discourse never being about *the issue*, but rather about the revolution hit home for me. I experienced exactly that last week.
I started a petition to get Japanese companies to create and enforce guidelines for localizers because, as you probably already know, games, anime and manga that get localized get completely butchered, rewritten, censored and the people behind it know we hate and love to brag about being responsible for ruining things for us consumers that just want the product in its integrity, just in a language we understand.
And boy, did I get mocked by a bunch of people on Twitter when I tried promoting it recently! Replies and quote retweets drawing attention not to the argument but to the strawman they made of me, calling me an incel, telling me to touch grass, calling the entire thing a waste of time... but nobody engaging negatively with my posts ever made an argument in favor of localization or pointed out flaws in the petition itself.
All they did was have an emotional reaction to someone making rational arguments and ran with it. Not because they had opinions about the issue of localization, but because they saw someone who did! It was never about the issue, it was just about punching someone down whom they deemed an acceptable target.
Edit: the name of the petition is "Introduce A Code of Ethics for Localization of Japanese Media・ローカライゼーションの倫理規定"
Can't post URLs, but should be easy to find with a quick search.
That’s actually a great idea you have there.
I'm guessing that most of the responses you got on Twitter were bots. That's why I got off Twitter. It's mostly bots that are trying to sway people's opinions and control the narrative.
Link to petition? Imma sign it faster than wokes get offended!
I couldn't agree more. I also have had many engagements with these fanatics over the years and I get a ton of the same responses you gotten. Their comments are so predictable and boring that I simply do not care anymore. These days, I just revel in it.
Thank you guys for showing interest in the petition. I can't post the URL here because CZcams automatically deletes comments with links, but the title of the petition is "Introduce A Code of Ethics for Localization of Japanese Media・ローカライゼーションの倫理規定"
Just look it up, should be easy to find.
Gotta love when the German response is essentially the 'Downfall' meme.
He is being attacked for telling a journalist that they are not a journalist and instead is a propagandists.

Those weren't yathzee tactics. Those were and are communist tactics.

As a fan of Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk 2020, I can say it was always pretty progressive. It primarily focused on rebelling against corrupt megacorps, particularly the Rocker and Nomad character classes. Cybergen was even more explicitly so.
And to be fair, Night City in 2077 Northern California would naturally be pretty diverse. The medieval European analogue of the Witcher, though... maybe not so much.
Pondsmith is a cool cat kind of a guy.
"Progressive" in what sense? Night City is a dystopia, and the rebel punks are a reflection of the problem, not the solution. You should see what the CP2020 manual says about equality and diversity.
Pondsmith represents what progressives used to be. They used to be anti-corporate. Nowadays, they're the biggest simps for Big Pharma and ESG schemes.
That’s just old school Liberal though, where diversity could be a strength and not crammed into everything. Just look at how many cartoons back in the 90s/00s pushed for diverse characters and yet they didn’t feel that pandering because they were still characters first
Thats PUNK! Not progressive
They are all about love and acceptance until someone has a different opinion.
I would definitely like to thank CD Porjekt Red for telling me to never buy anything they make in the future.
Guessing CDPR didn't see what happened to the Netflix version of The Witcher?
Honestly, i don't think CDPR even has a say in the matter anymore.
After the botched launch of Cyberpunk, they needed money, and ESG loans is what was on offer. As we now know though, that's a faustian bargain that comes with all sorts of woke strings attached.
The fact that this guy is getting attacked over this, just further highlights the points he was making in this tweet. Amazing.
He could not have said it better.
I wholeheartedly regret preordering Cyberpunk 2077.
Even without the ESG-mining aspect; by the time it was objectively playable, it was already on sale.
I just liked Witcher 3 so much that I wanted to support CDPR; won't make that mistake again with any company.
CyberPunk 2077 is the last CDPR game I'll ever buy
Don't ever pre-order any games. It is messing up the entire industry.
Gamestar lost its soul and credibility 20 years ago.
Gamestar is just a Munich-rich-guys bubble that never had to face any negative side of the whole progressivism. Mick Schnelle was the last normal guy there
GameSpy was the only gaming journalism I truly enjoyed.
Oh boy, I will never forget about the Fallout 76 Test. "We need more time"...yea ok the 50 crashes and what not in the 30+ h they played were not enough. They need to test it at least 100h more. And no, this had nothing to do with the huge ad banners on there side, obviously not...😅😂😂😂
Their videos are still great and politics free, just not their articles.
@@misberaveBruh, their videos aren't great anymore eather. They used to actually test games, now they just talk 10 minutes about the game and write opinion pieces...and they barely even test half of the relevant games that get released.I remember back in the 2000s when Nino Kerl (now Ninotaku), Fabian Sigismund, Gunnar Lott, Christian Schmidt (now Stay Forever Podcast) used to work for GameStar...they had creativity, integrity, passion...now there are only corporate shills, DEI-hires and failed politics "journalists" left, who haven't played a game in their life, but hate actual gamers with a passion.
Germany here: This thing blew up quite a bit online. I was always a fan of Maurice Weber and I still am, but the CEO from Moongames made some valid points.
Personally, I'm totally fed up with agendas forced into video games and movies.

@Razörfist : you missed the part in his bio where it said moongamestudios is situated in Vienna, Austria and not Vienna, South Dakota or another one of the 17 Vienna named cities in the US. So yes it makes sense for him to talk to a German language gaming magazine. There is quite a bit of German speaking gamers out there ;)
in germany we (each seperate household) are forced to pay a monthly fee (not a tax) called "Rundfunk Gebühr" in theory it is meant to fund unbiased news. long story short: they aren't they are state news now. we are forced to pay so they can do as they please. you can't opt out. it doesn't matter if you are not listening to their stuff. "pay pig! and say thank you for the great service we provide." it blows.
Any news that is funded by the state is ultimately state news. We have NPR in the US and it's the same situation, except they stay pro-Democrat. No nation should have tax-payer funded news.
Sry but thats bs. Some media is biased for sure but you describe it as if we are living in russia or china with a full media control system. Not every programm funded by gez is that manipulated.
Same in the UK with the BBC only you can choose not to pay. They will tell lies, force their way into elderly people's homes and do lots of other horrible tactics to try and get people to pay but if you just don't let them in your house to check, they don't have any legal grounds to get in and therefore can't prove anything.
Yes, it's deeply unfair. I can't help thinking that this mandatory TV license payment through taxation will eventually happen in the UK, where I'm from.
Every nation does that. At least yours admits it openly..
I'd wager that one of the reasons why CD Projekt Red has opened up another development studio (who will create the next Cyberpunk game) in Boston USA, is to boost their diversity quota.
Journos 10 years ago: 'We're not trying to take away your games.'
Now: They're taking away EVERYTHING.
Considering CDPR was attacked by rockpapershotgun, eurogamer, kotaku and polygon when W3 came out its baffeling they choose to behave like this now.
His first mistake was expecting journalists to do their job
And like that games like Ori and No Rest for the Wicked just got a sales boost.
I think it's a first that a German games developer (and CEO!) spoke out against all of this (cancel culture, failure of journalism and anti-customer behavior of game corporations). If you wonder why it took so long, the risk as a German is bigger so it's very brave of him to do that.
The few german studios that exist are basically all supported with tax Euros, so the state forces several quotas on them. The german developer market is very insignificant as is, but most of them develop niche games, so they're not able to survive without government handouts. The only developers from Germany with some kind of mass appeal are Crytek and Giants Software (Farming Simulator).
@@WannabeShady90 The German media industry is small because foreign lobbyists from the US have lobbied from the beginning of the FRG for politicians to make laws to make it as hard as possible for media upstarts to prosper. However, all of this changes nothing about what I posted above. This is a first, and it's very brave for a German CEO and media industry person to do that.
witcher 4 is going to be a cringe fest
You can't reason someone out of a view that they weren't reasoned into to begin with
Words of a lazy coward
CDPR peaked with Witcher 3, and they were pretty based till then. Unironically, the huge success of the W3 was their downfall. Since that time it was just a slow march towards woke agenda, and even political activism. They're not the same company that they used to be, probably due to new investors' money, and that a lot of OG stuff behind W3 left the company. I still remember that our local game media shilled so hard for the CP2077 that made me very suspicious of the final product.
My gut feeling told don't trust Cyperpunk I was right it was bad still is.
Most of the team that developed The Witcher 3 left after the game was finished.
It was G. Edward Griffin who discussed that strategy of calling folks "fascist" who start becoming (allegedly) irksome to the regime.
_The Creature from Jekyll Island_ is still one of my favourite books.
To the emotionally incontinent, those who can control and maintain their emotions to respond or speak rationally are always the bad guy, because they put the overly emotional into sharp relief on the point of their ineptitude.

As an editor of one of those mags said a while ago, if you give accurate reviews all that happens is that they dont send you advanced copies (so you can review them before release) in future and your magazine suffers because everyone else has already reviewed the game and theres no reason for someone to buy your mag.
@@elLootoIn the 2000s there were actual game journalists in german gaming media who could sell you a Game even if it didn't get a very high Score (85-90% is very high in German Media). That's why I bought for example Vampire Bloodlines.
Seems like an excellent person for the TakeGamesBack board!!
The Greek philosophers might have called these people sophists.
The number one golden rule for journalism - "You are supposed to CHALLENGE the power with TRUTH, not ENFORCING the power".
The entire media is core rapted
Love how the people attacking him just prooved him right in the end.
Blabs didn't say a word, is she a cyborg or something?
i dont even read german stuff as a german. those journalists are a shame no matter the country...
These "journalists" are not "ignorant" they are complicit and willingly so.
The other feud involving Kotaku that the redoubtable Mr Fist was referring to was with David Jaffe, I believe. There was a recording of a rather one-way conversation Jaffe had with a Kotaku urinalist.
I think I'll buy a physical copy of Ori, if it's on a system I own, and send Mahler a picture of the receipt next to his statement.
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket!! 😂
They're really emphasizing the RED in CD Projekt Red
That's a great Twitter post, and I think many people feel the same way. It's interesting that they chose to attack him after... I can't help but wonder if they are looking for him to respond negatively to them or call them Nazis and then they can use that ammunition against him to prove that he always was a mean/hateful person. I hope he doesn't respond to any of the attacks and just leaves the people feeling ignored as they should be.
Ahhh the exposed hypocrisy 😚🤌
german here, he did the right thing to call "maurice" out! 100 % agree with every word he said!
I'll have to buy some of his games to support his perspective and gumption! I'm proud of this guy! Enough is enough with this insanity!
Urinalists!
That or refer to them as bloggers, tumblr bloggers, it's what most of them were to begin with.
@@osier769 nah not offensive enough
@@DekkarJr I'd have to agree, not even urinalist is fitting for these people imo, but I guess we have to have some sort of civility, unlike them.
Gothix had a video called wake up the last phrase was basically that if you constantly call them bad name for long enough it will become the truth in the mind of people.
Tell them to argue the point, not the person. if they can't do that, block them until they can do that.
I guess the "42" in Maurice's twitter handle is his favorite year in german history...
There needs to be the opposite of Sweet Baby Inc Detected list on steam, a curated list of developers you SHOULD support like Moon Game Studios.
Based! Now go and publish that, mr. 'journalist'
Maurice is a really nice guy and a critical thinker. I don't know what this here is actually about, but I like Maurice a lot, and hope things can be ironed out.
It was Nintendo the blacklisted Kotaku, specifically after they advocated pirating Metroid Dread mere days after release.

This Thomas Mahler guy wrote an utterly great and highly important comment on the integrity and responsibility of journalism and journalists. Would be great to know how the Gamestar guy reacted to this...
