Following a social media post in support of LGBTQ+ game developers, Godot is now getting review-bombed on Steam.
-
@dogfox that's how I read it too, but then I saw it was a negative review. Confusing that they used hearts there.
-
@docpop This confuses me, the game creating and PC gaming community is pretty substantially left leaning to my mind, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

A game developer shared a new project on X a few weeks ago and said she built it with Unreal Engine, to which some dude replied, "Woke studios always use pre-built engines to make games because they can't build their own engines."
It was an INCREDIBLY stupid reply, which quickly became a meme in the gaming community.
Godot then posted "Apparently game engines are woke now?" (an objectively solid post, TBH) and gamers claimed the post was "too political". That's the post this is all about.
-
@docpop wow, I didn't realize exactly how stupid the origins of this were. It's unfathomable how dumb these trolls are.
-
@someguyjg right?! These dudes are harassing a bunch of indie game developers and threatening Godot's community manager, all because of an incredibly dumb post some dude made about "woke studios" using pre-built game engines. I guess they ran out of things to be mad about and are desperately looking for things to feel victimized about.

@docpop sorry, but I just had to check my watch to see which century we have.
Nowadays people decide not to consume the products of sellers/producers, just because the sellers are the way they are. It's not about anything the sellers are doing (i.e. harming others) or about the quality of the product - but solely about the seller's identity.Roughly 90 years ago, Germans did something related, where people suggested not to buy products produced by people who identify as Jew.

@docpop "woke" is not the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Epic... but ok!

@workingclassgames I don't use it anymore either, but I hate that it still has so much power over the communities and hobbies I'm in. I'm not just talking about games, there are a few more open source projects I follow that keep coming down to "some thing somebody said on X and is now affecting things outside of X". It's weird how much influence X/twitter still has.
-
@docpop Guess who's downloading Godot from Steam to try make a totally non-political game?

Still. After all these years.
What in the flying fuck is woke even?
Why complain about something that doesn't even have a good definition.

@docpop Apparently, those bigots are not aware that "there's no such thing as bad publicity". In fact, this was actually how I learned Godot is on Steam, and now more people will be aware of it. (In fact, I'm kind of tempted to use it if I ever get into game development, heh.)

@docpop (Slight tangent: I also highly recommend Pixelorama! It's a pixel art software made in Godot!)
