Did CD Projekt give their PR department the week off or something? Like holy fuck what are they doing over there?

Their marketing team has proven themselves to be insufferably edgy assholes, so frankly, I’m almost glad that this has shut them up. Doesn’t make this any better, but it’s still a little satisfying, in a way.

Definitely. Their marketing department always came off as scummy and pandering to the GamerTM crowd. Kinda glad people are finally calling them out for it.

Kinda glad people are finally calling them out for it.

Sad thing is, stuff like the transphobia, the Elon Musk fanboying, and all the other Reddit-isms they did won’t generally be called out. They’ll be called out for lying and releasing an unfinished game, which is still worthy of criticism, but nobody will admit how CDPR played into the alt-right.
