Companies get away with openly being evil all the time so why did the Ion Fury devs feel they needed to censor their game because a few faggots got mad?

Imagine being terminx right now. After working hard on making one of your favourite Build Engine games of all time playable on modern systems, you're given the opportunity to work on an entirely new game using the Build Engine. After tons of legal bullshittery with Randy Pitchford and even Iron Maiden's lawyers of all things, you finally manage to push out a respectable game which most people seem to like. The launch seems like a success. Then some rando who must've obsessively dug through your Discord logs found something you said a year ago which could be used to spark controversy by reposting it on ResetEra. Several people get upset about it and start refunding/reviewbombing them game. It seems minor enough and you say you've found it fairly innocuous yourself, but HQ ain't having none of that and are going into full damage control mode, going even as far as to donate to some LGBT charity and making a public apology. This probably involved some angry calls by your superior and your entire team cursing you under their breath for dragging them into this mess. Then you return to your Discord only to find it's a massive dumpster fire with the mods working overtime to shutdown discussion about the controversy as per 3DR's request, with former fans calling you a sellout and a pathetic beta cuck for bending the knee, even though you literally don't have working knees.
And there you sit, seeing everything go from excellent to shit in the span of a couple days while you are on the verge of exploding, when all you wanted to do was make game. All because of some shit you said in the past.

NO REFUNDS
his fault for using discord
discord is not bad for itself
it's bad because of the trannies
Really weird how Game of Thrones has embedded "bend the knee" into common vernacular
>be me
>never watched that
>found it pretty normal expression desu
thx for explaining this valuable reference
jannies keep deleting topics about a video game on a video game board
>imagine being a cuck
no thanks
trannies are subhuman garbage and will destroy the video game industry.
>I'm offended, you should apologize to ME for catering to people that don't want to buy your game
>a literal bottle of soap is cause for offense
There is a African proverb that says "the more you bend over to someone, the more your butt is exposed".
And how does it sound in whatever African language it originates from?
Turn around and I'll tell you.
This is why you don't negotiate with the other side, they are gonna hate you no matter what, and all you can possibly do by engaging with them is lose your existing supporters.
I... I'm not sure if this is a good idea...
sad, i really like the game
What exactly was censored in Ion Fury?
Caving into SJWs never works since they don't play games. Just fucking bunker down and they'll eventually find another target, holy shit.
o'lay o'gay soap
some wall out of bounds that says fag or something
stupid shit they should have refused to listen to these fucking animals
good game tho
Well, the people who caused this shitstorm didn't intend to buy this game anyway. The rest didn't care. So the devs bend their knee to those vocal minority that would be offended by something no matter what, while losing the trust of the customers that actually bought their game. Good going there.
>make a good game
>SJWs complain like they literally always do
>alienate faggots
>backpedal
>alienate nonfaggots
>game now dies in mediocrity
These retards managed to piss off both sides of this moronic identity politics society. How can someone run a studio and be so fucking bad at business logic?
I blame 3D Realms
Aside from censorship, the developers will now undergo "mandatory sensitivity training".
This is real, I'm not making this up.
i disagree with them bending to the (tiny amount of) pressure but the game is still great, no need to review bomb
>muh based iron maiden devs
bunch of cucks all of them
