You sound pretty judgmental of the RPG Codex.

seen this wizardry clone on release. Developer used to act like a jerk, banned people here and there on their steam forum and tried to sue reddit for a negative feedback of one user (about last one, there was a whole video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihALjBo-PTg )

Probably gog simply didnt want to mess with all this behavior? I mean, they try to provide some "old-styled" user-friendly support - and here goes developer with tendencies to harass his own customers. Eeeeh

Negative feedback. Ra-aight.

You forgot to mention that "one user" directly accused dev of being plagiarist and a thief.

I and many others have posted in his Steam forum and have not been banned. The people he banned were banned for a reason. The Dev doesn't just ban someone to be a jerk.

As for that reddit situation, I believe it was about an individual who was making false claims about the Dev stealing code from a previous employer. I can understand why this would upset the Dev; can't you? Imagine writing a book and then some random douchebag over the Internet maliciously makes false claims about how you plagarized large portions of your book.

Hunter and Seeker, now we need a LootDestroyer too... ;-)

maybe you should tell them to do so? feel free to do so. perhaps you should make something of online drive, or campaign?
need a LootFinder and LoorLooter before you can LootDestroy it

According to Dictionary.com bigoted means:

"utterly intolerant of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own."

I think that fits her behavior quite well. Not "hounding" and "harassing" are quite questionable, considering her comments on the RPG Codex on this thread, but I will not debate that, instead I will get to my point.

Tropes "Good is not nice" and "Affably evil" are both present in real life, meaning that somebody being a jerk doesn't make him evil, and somebody being polite doesn't automatically make him good. Regardless of the behavior of (some?) Codex members, they keep to themselves. They play rough and make fun of other people but they do it their own threads, they don't do it on other forums because they would get thrown out. As long as they don't start planning acts of (physical) violence on their threads, they are free to play by their own rules and you can either accept those rules to join conversation, or keep the hell out.

Do I look like rabbid SJW harrasser from ResetEra to you?

There's a reason for that.

You know, most fascists are just that ;)

Anyway, for better or worse this game has gotten a lot of attention, and I think this is a game that will fade away as more time passes by, occasionally brought up like "Do you remember that niche game with that unstable dev?" kind of moment when old gamers are trying to recollect a long and enjoy-full gaming-life.

Countless missed publishing dates, horrendous UI, bugs, threats & instability, and still the game isn't getting better over 20 years?

Perhaps this game should be nominated to Guinness World Record for worst game with the longest development with an unstable developer, thus subsequently dethroning DNF, which currently is at 14 years and 44 days.

The Codex is one the few video game forums' on the internet where (short of spamming, scamming or off-topic posting) you can say whatever opinions you like about games without fear of having your account banned or suspended. Pretty much every other game forum you'll go to, you pretty much don't have any freedom of speech, you can say "tame" criticisms but once you go full vitriol then you get banned. So of course the Codex has heaps of trolling, baiting and conflicts, but you also get some real gems of discussion (and of course some genuine crazy entertainment) from the chaos.

After all, if the Codex was just "4chan for RPGs" then why would famous video game developers like Chris Avellone (among others) regularly post on there? Obviously because they want to say what they like without restrictions, just like how Avellone wanted to shit all over the upper management of Obsidian, or like Cleve Blakemore just wanted to be his normal crazy self.

It's pretty insane to criticize the Codex when it's one of the few places on the net where you can get (mostly) unmoderated video game discussion, I mean if you want a hugbox then there's the remaining 99% of the internet.

Well, all know Chaos is the only true answer, no?

Joking aside, Chris Avellone alone should be Seal of Quality for the RPG Codex. But be careful with who do you call insane. I am pretty sure most people in Third Reich and Stalin era USSR would medically pass for "sane", whatever that means.

Well said, Crosmando.

There are even forums where you get banned if you are a Trump supporter (rpg.net, I think).

And on strictly moderated forums you always run the risk of arbitrary bans and rulings.

It's too bad GOG had devolved from a free forum to what it is today. There used to be lively political discussions, for example.

yes you do,

edit: I can clarify:

You are quite rabbid

Since SJW is a made up term meaning "people I do not like", then...

You tend to go after certain people quite consistently

I do not know which websites you frequent, I do not have your browser history, but I feel you have been on ResetEra a lot more than for example someone like me. (what is it, anyway....)

edit 2: and I know you will not understand my above point: so an analogy:

Imagine the internet as a big playground. Most of the children run around and plays nicely and have fun, but in a corner there is a little sandbox with a very small group of snotty children standing and fighting (very nosily). Thats' you lot, both sides, whatever they may be. This is a very small group of children (you lot, both sides) which are standing there and pissing and shitting in the sand, and both sides are arguing and shouting that it is the other side that does all the pissing and shitting, and that in fact the other side's piss and shit is much worse and smellier than theirs (that's the level of the argument). For all the other children in the playground it does not matter which "side" the children in the sandbox are on,. They do not see any "sides", all they see is a bunch of snotty and smelly brats wallowing in a small sandpit full of shit and piss. All they do is ignore them as much as possible (until one of the snotty brats flings some shit-covered sand on them) and are just happy running around playing their own games in the rest of the playground.

Hehe, or as they say - sheeps in wolf clothes. We can even apply that to people in our current era also.

That's what makes this world pretty dangerous when we put aside our critical thinking and allow certain "sane" people in power to still roam free, or even getting power in the first place.

Censoring and policing are just two of the first step in a fascists wet dream XD
