In all honesty, how did THQNordic manage to fuck up their PR so massively... by the very actions of their PR Manager?
I think it's awesome someone did an AMA on a chan personally, but we can all agree that from a PR point-of-view, this was insanely retarded. Any research into the site would have told them going there would trigger legions of journos giving them negative press coverage, and the majority of people online seem to think this was a hilariously bad move.
So I pose the question to you, Yea Forums: How do you think the PR Manager at THQ came to the decision to host the AMA on the chan that shall not be named?
Yea Forums is mainstream now, why do we not get AMAs?

Don't mind me, I'm here only to laugh at Yea Forumsirgins, /pol/yps, Resetards and 8gagers.
Why do people pay so much attention to the media? Genuine definition of sheeple.
>oh, THQ did an AMA on an image board? thats cool, usually devs choose bigger places, i lik- >Kotaku/Polygon/Resetera/etc: THQ DOES AMA ON NAZI RAPIST PEDOPHILE HEADQUARTERS, IRREPARABLY DESTROYS BRAND, NO ONE WILL EVER BUY THQ VIDEO GAEM AGAIN! HOW CAN THEY RECOVER? EXPERTS SAY THEY CANT >oh well i guess the media said that was a mistake of THQ so it must be right. damn why did they talk to those nazi rapist pedophiles? i mean nazis, rapists, and pedophiles are all bad individually, but to be all three... wow... thq really messed up. thank you polygon

>"May forever taint the new thq" >Only journalist seem to actually care about the story and keep trying to keep it alive and inflate it as much as they can. Fucking Fallout 76 and the Anthem abortions has more people caring and tuning in for coverage than anything with Thq Nordic. Hell even a resetera poll ended up with a majority voting to continue buying their games so they had to shut down the thread.
literally no one gives a fucking shit, this fucking scum bag press is blowing it up self creating theyre own outrage

The trannies and redditors won, its over.
This letter is to offer my sincerest apologies and regret for THQ Nordic GmbH Vienna’s interaction with the controversial website last Tuesday, February 26. I condemn all unethical content this website stands for. Even if no one within the THQ Nordic Group would ever endorse such content, I realize simply appearing there gave an implicit impression that we did.
As Co-Founder and Group CEO of THQ Nordic AB, I take full responsibility for all of THQ Nordic GmbH‘s actions and communications. I have spent the past several days conducting an internal investigation into this matter. I assure you that every member of the organization has learned from this past week’s events. I take this matter very seriously and we will take appropriate action to make sure we have the right policies and systems in place to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
As a Swedish based, fast growing group, we firmly support equality and diversity. We are also working actively to combat discrimination, harassment, and misconduct. We are alreadyin the process of developing new work processes, based on the United Nations’ SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and using the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) standards, and we will accelerate this work going forward.

Can we make "shoutout to Mark" a meme that we say when we do something really stupid?
