I hate this goddamn world.

@ Richard: We did not "cave in", we just gave a refund when it was requested. As we always will.

We're confident that fans of the game will be disappointed if they cancel their pledge, only to then buy the game at full price when they see how good it is.
:salute:

They did the right thing, solved it quickly to avoid the PC Mafia rallying against them or making a Tumblr OUTRAGE

Waiting for the opportunity to "fix" this one too, obviously. They need to fix the world of these horrible people who dare to use forbidden words.

It looks like this "story" hasn't broken out yet. I can't find any Kotaku bullshit or anything about it.

As much as I like drama, let's hope it stays that way.

People backing a game that lets you run over pedestrians while on drugs are offended by inappropriate use of the word 'gay'.

That's pretty gay.

There is no story, they acted very quickly and did everything the whinny guy asked for.
They may have refunded people, but the post with "homophobic language" is still up.
Too late, they already made clear that anyone butthurt can just ask for a refund, asking now for the removal of the words would be imposing censorship. Especially on a title where you can run over old grannies, no one expects political correctness.

Kotaku bullshit would be more something like "Is miss-using the word gay worse than killing people?", not "Evil developer is evil and hates gays."

What a bunch of whiny faggots.
To top it off they need to have a part in the game where you can plow through a gay parade.

And in another level a normal parade so that we can watch them ignore that and focus on the 'obvious homophobia'

That sort of drama is nothing new, happened before with that Orson Scott Card Xbox game (forgot the title). There was some sort of 'boycott' of it because OSC is some bible freak who doesn't like homos. Though it is suprising that you can find ultra-sensitive PC wankers among Carmageddon fans.

There was a guy who backed Carmageddon who screamed at inXile for using the word "fuck" in the Wasteland 2 demo. I shit you not.

Commander Shepard, their hero, partake in violence aginst the free press, genocide and something else I don't remember, but because he is a sex fiend that would buttfuck everything that moves he is an example of tolerance and acceptance, uphelding the best human values and the most delicate of sentiments.

That was not XBox specific, it's a general boycott.

I support pig-men being openly pig-like so I know whom not to give money. By using gay as a pejorative they are telling queers everywhere "we don't want you as a customer; we only want straight (white) men like ourselves."

Of course I was never interested in this.

Are you gay? Because otherwise you might want to shut up.

I'm part of the queer catch-all obviously.

Or maybe they are using colloquial speech like normal fucking people and aren't trying to cater to your whiny bullshit

Not really, do you care what sort of people make the products that you buy and enjoy? Your'e a fucking racist that hates white people apparently (in the same way that Carmageddon devs are gay hating neo-nazis), but if you were involved in the production of a game I'm interested in, I would buy it without giving a shit.
