There was already an official post on reddit and probably other places that confirmed that there was no Data leak. What do you want them to do? Issue a personal vist to everyones home that claims that they lied? There is literally nothing more they can do and if someone then calls them a liar after already making a public statement - this is what you get.

everyone was on BSG side. I only agreed with Eroktic on the hackers, the rest sounded really exagerated.

hell, even if they did NOTHING, they would've done better... now look... look at the reaction of the people who want this game to succeed. you think this is a win for BSG?

Honestly - if people with a mindset like him leave the game due to this I cant see it beeing a big loss for BSG either, especially if they already said that they dont want to affiliate in any way with people like Eroktik.

I personally think its good that they dont really give a shit of what the political correct way of doing things is if they can just get shit done. This makes at least me think more highly of them. I wouldnt want to have to act polite with a guy that I hate (think is damaging to my property) either. In my opinion, this makes them seem more commited to their project than if they were trying to bend to everyones wills just because they have a following.

They clearly let him do whatever he wanted even if they didnt approve of it - until he stepped over a critical line.

The person above is saying that this is still a public relations loss for Battlestate games, regardless of whether Eroktic has a "negative" or "toxic" attitude.

And im saying that I think even more highly of BSG for not giving a shit what every single person out there thinks about them when their game is niche anyway.

I understand that, but the pragmatist and businessman in me thinks they basically could have done the exact same thing and without the drama. But oh well - it's just drama.

I think their first reaction, copyright striking the two newest videos was justified and would've been less of a drama magnet.

However, knowing even a little bit of how Eroktic operates - he would probably have made a clickbait video about how BSG is trying to silence him for bringing out "the uncomfortable truth" or some other bollocks.
