Exactly. EA should have caught this, but he made it worse by the way he responded. So my sympathy is basically non-existent.

Agreed. He obviously didn’t know before it was pointed out to him, so he wasn’t getting bombarded. No defending the mob mentality, but he could have handled his end a little better as well.

It’s almost as of calling someone an asshole and saying their game is dumb in a public forum that is set up to be seen by fans of that product is a bad way to bring up your concerns...

Or: “You, a person, are less important than a game. Get back in your place.”

“The game is bigger than you. Behave,”

Were any of the characters from the original book even of different ethnicity? If people like a book/comic for what it is I’m pretty sure they want film adaptations to be true to the source material. I’m all for diversity in films, that’s something I admire about The Force Awakens and The Magnificent Seven (2016),…

Yes. But were they much in the fancy boarding schools, or places pretending to be fancy boarding schools, or whatever?

Yeah, not bad at all. That isn’t evidence of racism.

I asked when Luke did a write up but I guess it needs to be asked again. What the fuck does this have to do with gaming?

It’s such a shame he has to apologize for this. I’m not pro trump or anything but I have a really hard time with people being treated as having done something wrong when we disagree with them. Lucky, I don’t know what you believe but I hope you don’t let others disapproval make you apologize for it.

What kind of bullshit garbage is that?! Are consumers meant to suffer for pointless political statements directed against loose affiliation? Everybody’s lost their minds.

LOL thank you. Anyone acting like they give a shit or trying to take the moral high ground here and condemn Palmer is full of shit. Let me sit behind my keyboard and condemn this man while I type this using a computer made off the backs of workers who make 3 dollars an hour and work 15 hour shifts.

Every single developer of software and hardware and every employee of such must be vetted for thier political beliefs and voting history. It’s the only way.

Definitely. I only clicked on it to see what the comments section looked like but these articles are awful.

Huh. Funny, I’ve never actually met anyone in favor of “unchecked Muslim immigration.”

Agreed. I can’t wait for io9 to start going back to the science and wonder that drew me here. I can’t wait for paleofuture to dig up the old grandious ideas and snark on them. I can’t wait for gizmodo to go back to the technology, innovation, and gadgets that made it fun. I can’t wait to ....

What’s more scary to me than his political opinions is that people are acting like we just discovered he’s a pedophile or something. Why exactly is it so horrible to be a conservative? Silicon Valley in particular takes this hatred of conservatives to a new level. They basically openly discriminate against people…
