Stance on the Zoe thing, do you refuse to express your opinion, or do you just not give a fuck?

you have no idea how retarded i think it is that people care or bother talking about stuff like this, like its a thing… the fact that “my industry” feels the need to talk about bs like this.. or about any social/personal bs is mind blowing and confirms my feelings about how much this is a scene of loser animals who have no artistic merit. 

this is less about one thing as it is everything, every week its a new story blown out of portion about how everyone is a slut/rapist/racist/misogynist who obviously have no idea what its like to have any of those things happen to them nor do they understand how life actually works, or when something is none of anyone else business.

we live in a pod of social justice implosion, all the extremest are at war with themselves, everyone is standing on one clear side of the street but the more this community grows  the more segregated it becomes and the more extreme peoples views become.

im in this to make games, i want no part of this scene of broken animals attempting to act human to make themselves feel better or important.

Ed, you write a lot of really insightful stuff. But your take on sexism/racism has always seemed like a disconnect to me. It seems like you’re saying “People shouldn’t get so worked up over these issues”, which is a really privileged attitude to have. I feel like I’ve read you saying that you support the underdog. To me, this is a case where there is an underdog in need of some support!

As far as I've seen Ed has always been inclusive. He just hates bullies. There's a pack of bullies on both sides that he doesn't want to be connected to. You have the side that hates all change and will tear anyone down who supports feminism. You have another side that is trying to blacklist anyone who doesn't agree with the feminist's method for getting their word out. Both sides have the "you're with us or with the terrorist" attitude that is pure shit.

Anyone with a level headed opinion about the Zoe thing gets called a misogynist by one side and told they fucked her by the other. Most rational people just keep their mouth shut and shake their head as the community turns into reactionary shit head land.

Dont you think that releasing Rebirth first on PS4/Vita will ruin the fun for the PC/Mac/Linux Users?...I mean, TBOI is a game about discovery and I get the feeling that a bunch of douchebags will spoil everything as soon as they get the game.

just dont look and it wont be spoiled. there isnt much you can do about console exclusive stuff, this is just how it goes

Don’t YOU think that releasing it on PC first would ruin the fun for the Playstation-users? There aren’t only spoiling douchebags on consoles, you know?

While I think it should be simultaneously released, this will actually cause less spoilers potentially. He said he put some deep secrets in that will be ruined when people crack open the game or use cheat engine.

So this will make talking about the game and the community figuring it out more fun. It is a little weird that PC is coming last when that's where the fan base is.
