Video game characters are not actually real. They don’t bleed, they can’t get their feelings hurt, they can’t be betrayed because they are a collection of pixels and code and words and sound files.
The game devs I’m lucky to work with are real people who deserve at least basic human respect.

Surprisingly, real take in a real world.
You don't like something? Cool, here's a tip: Stay away from it. Nobody's forcing you to do anything.
Demonstrate self-awareness and self-control.

Hats off🎩
I was depressed for weeks after. I was naive and thought people would just be happy to
I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for what you do and I don’t think
We should be thanking devs and be aware of what amazing (sometimes imperfect) things they’ve created!
Critique is one thing (Of which I don't think veilguard deserves even 0.001% of) but the harassment and unbridled hatred being thrown towards those involved w/ DAVG is unhinged.
I really feel for all involved with DAVG and hope they weather this as best they can.
They hate any organisation that embraces DEI.
To them it's a buzzword, but Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in games is literally just a checklist to consider, in order to make sure that those who play your game are represented by your game...
Like... Can we just call the people freaking out about DEI racists? lol.
If these assholes had their way we'd have the most boring games known to man.
I guarantee the New Fallout game will get criticized for being "DEI" despite the fact that Fallout for damn near 30 years has always been "woke"
And especially with DA, the cast wasn't mandated by "corporate". the characters are how they've always been. In my opinion they did great with the representation in game.
Epler's always been a delight to interact with and I love when he makes posts about Arby's (I'm a fellow Arby's enjoyer). I hope that the entire DA team gets some well deserved rest and relaxation. You all did a great job with DATV. 💜
Can anyone provide some context here?
I hope this is helpful to others 💜

As long as you are subscribed to a mod list, any additions/removals will take effect on your acc. It's a great feature but can be abused, so be careful when subbing to mod lists.
I hope everyone is managing to get some rest right now. You all deserve it & I hope things get better. 💜
And for whatever my opinion is worth to you, I really love Veilguard. It's the most I've ever enjoyed playing a DA game, and I've played all of em'.
Did this person shit on fans? No.
Learn some basic respect
If respect must be earned with a random person online who ur never gonna interact with irl, u need to toughen up butter cup.
Tbh in general I agree with u tho, & I don't got time to be arguing online all day. I need some grass touching time yk
You're doing great!
They work hand and hand and make something beautiful.
It's all: "THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER OMG!!!! CLICK NOW!!" or "THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER AND YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU DON'T AGREE"
I've actually always found it hilarious (and annoying af) that games will have like so much hate around their release...and then ten years on they are considered classics anyways 😆
It sucks, and many people need to grow up.
None of you should have to deal with this.
I hope John knows that a lot of people are wishing him well and very appreciative of the work you've all done on a fantastic game 💜
Capitalist framing of art as "content creation" and treating "content" (even *fan works*) as a product ppl are entitled to is leading to a lot of abuse.
*I blame the weirdness of the past couple of days for my alliterative recklessness.
and you know we always have your back. all that leveling up in the Romancelandia Wars has to be good for something! 🗡️
I hope y'all can feel my appreciation and gratitude for the badass job you did from all the way down here. 💓
I'm very sorry so many fans have abused the access you have been kind enough to grant.
to ANYONE DISPRESPCTING the hard working devs that provide one of the LAST pieces of pleasure I'm allowed to partake in. #ProtectTheDevs #GamersUnite
My point is when devs discuss the way characters and stories are created, and people think they need to “defend” that character by attacking the people who created it, that is not ok.
No one is denying anyone's love for fictional characters or how important they are to us.
But liking a character doesn’t give us permission to threaten and harass the real humans who created that character.
UNION!
I hope he knows how many people love his work <3.
Forever...
I see both game devs being abused and those themes not being handled well quite often (/gen)
Why do you believe you deserve better communication from the devs? I feel like of all entertainment media, game devs are one of the most communicative, and have the highest standards for such.
