@xianc78 @sjw @shibao lol wut I had no idea yanderedev had a gl account

@beardalaxy @sjw @shibao I don't know if it was actually him. It was only one post saying that some people were pressuring him to join the fediverse, and he never posted anything after that.

When Kiwifarms leaked his passwords a couple of years back, GameLiberty wasn't on there.

@sjw @beardalaxy @xianc78 @shibao I assumed it's just a troll account. Used an temporary email address.

@sjw @beardalaxy @matrix @shibao I wish we had more gamedevs on here. I'm pretty sure we can have a few indies on here without destroying their reputation.

@xianc78 @sjw @matrix @shibao yandere dev destroyed his own reputation lmao

@xianc78 @sjw @beardalaxy @shibao Would be nice but the account would be a liability

@matrix @sjw @beardalaxy @shibao For them or for the instance? There are some game studios who can get away with having a presence on more niche and edgy sites. Running With Scissors literally had an official board on 8chan back in the day. I'm not even joking. And there have been a lot of indie games that have been shilled on imageboards over the years.

@xianc78 @sjw @beardalaxy @shibao for the devs, I guess it could be ok for some niche edgy devs

@matrix @xianc78 @sjw @shibao it would work for devolver digital if they were actually edgy instead of faux-edgy

@xianc78 @matrix @sjw @shibao didn't some dev studio have a 8chan q&a that turned out pretty well? But then people told them 8chan had child porn on it or whatever so they issued an apology.

@beardalaxy @matrix @sjw @shibao That was THQ Nordic.

@xianc78 @matrix @sjw @shibao I feel like there is some serious untapped potential for certain studios doing stuff like this

@beardalaxy @matrix @sjw @shibao Literally the only people who had a problem with the 8chan AMA were the journos, including Youtubers like ReviewTechUSA who made THREE VIDEOS regarding the situation. I've seen a lot of non-8chan users defending THQ and 8chan. At worst, they thought it was "unprofessional" but not something worthy of a boycott. There were also a few other companies who did similar threads on 8chan.

Granted, all of these happened before the three mass shootings linked to 8chan, but fortunately, nothing similar has happened on the Fediverse (and hopefully never will).

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @sjw @shibao Journos matter more and THQ bowing down didn't have financial repercussions for them, so it only sends signal to other studios showing bad press isn't worth it.

@matrix @beardalaxy @sjw @shibao I think their stocks actually rose and they ended up buying more studios since the AMA. It probably actually helped them.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @matrix @sjw @shibao Someone made a video of the fallout that spawned from that.

@Coyote @beardalaxy @shibao I miss those kinds of videos.

Alright, which instance admin is ready to have a major game developer/publisher do an AMA on here? I want to see the spectacular reaction on here and in the mainstream.

CC: @sjw @matrix @Moon @p @graf @alex

@xianc78 @Coyote @shibao I think the best one would probably be an anime game hosting a q&a on baest lol. Like little witch nobeta or something.

@Alex @sjw @beardalaxy @matrix @shibao CP spam is a weapon use to take down sites that people don't like.

@Tadano @sjw @beardalaxy @matrix @shibao @Alex It amazes me to see how people will go out of their way just to take such a site offline. Some will even go to your house and destroy the server if they can.

@maxmustermann @sjw @matrix @xianc78 @shibao @Alex I was gonna say, from what I remember there were people wondering if by CP they meant loli because there was never any CP.
