Beamdog just hit a new low

Rule N°1: If you screw up, you are getting consequences. Be sure to be able to handle those consequences, or dont screw up in first place.

If my image is not clear enough, they closed the Baldurs Gate EE forums. 10 years ago, I would have never thought that BG series would see itself into all this misery. Of course, 10 years ago, there was no Beamdog I guess.

Really... just... really?

Wow....

Oh, you use Opera too.

bluntfeather

I think I saw that earlier, too. May just be a glitch.

the steam forums were never a good place to discuss anything anyways.

It's not.

They're in full "damage control"

RanceSama

If anyone just does not believe me, go to Steam, and open the community hub for BG1EE.

Yeah, all my life used FFox and Chrome, since last wipe I wanted to try something different and the only thing I miss from chrome is the restore closed windows option, nothing else

Heavyline

It was probably a glitch or temporarily closed for short time. The forums are back again on Steam and nothing is cleaned.

bluntfeather

No really, it was there for a minute before the forums came back up again. It was shortly before this so maybe they had second thoughts but then... "ah, fuck it".

To be frank

These fucking shitbag SJW fucktards are censoring everything they can

To cover up the massive hate of their bullshit

They're blaming GamerGate because people don't like their shitty new TransTrendy bullshit

It's working just fine for me in Firefox.

Maybe it's a glitch within Steam?

bluntfeather

Full damage to self more like it, every "large" step they've made after Scott's interview has been a step backwards. Better if they had literally done nothing. Really, I don't understand how there wasn't more foresight in all this.

It's like someone just said "oh shit!" and just started doing things without putting any thought into it.

It's working just fine.

Beamdog stepping into the middle of identity politics is not boding well for them is it? They aren't coming out of this looking like the good guys no matter how you spin it, because it seems like everything they do is basically blocking any conversation about the topic. The "I'm right and you're wrong no matter how much evidence is against me" rhetoric is getting old. That and blocking people, removing threads and making their Twitter accounts unaccessible just shows that they are afraid of criticism and of what people will say in general.

Also about Amber Scott's statement of "If you don't like it, deal with it."? My rebuttal is you stepped into this mess with your agenda pushing and narrative spinning, and now you're going to deal with it. You're the on that kicked a hornet's nest, and telling the hornets to "deal with it" just doesn't work. Beamdog, your best bet at this point is to fire Amber and move on. She did you guys zero favors by pushing her agenda.

But sure, CONSPIRACY. I can't decide if we're looking at the video game parallel of Kim Jong Un or Charlie Sheen, or some mutant hybrid of both.

Rule N°2 : a person with a little bit of honor would apologize to beamdog for being so wrong (seriously, maybe just waiting few hours before the shit rain?). And would change the title of this thread too.

Shar

Nope it did not hit new low. Everything is working. I like people who rage the most have like 1-10 posts on the forum... Reminds me of when F4 came out, boy was there a lot of rage from vocal minority...

Illydth

I'm going to remind people that there are rules on these boards regarding cursing and other forms of behavior. Those have not been abandoned nor put aside.

Good for you.

So, the problem doesn't exist. I've checked - https://steamcommunity.com/app/228280/discussions/ works for me, using Google Chrome.

In order not to risk confusing anyone, I'm closing this thread.
