Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[c-no]

Looks like it..
Wu needs to worry about releasing a product before she worries about people returning it..

Spoiler

They will anyways, because your game is crap.

Considering the amount of shovelware now on steam, I like this return policy..

Would piracy of Rev 60's PC port be adding salt to the refund wound that Wu can get if the game was ever released? Not only would Wu lose money from refunds, people will pirate it, leaving Wu not a single penny save for an purchases on the iOS version.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

If it hits Steam; it will be hit the torrents 5 mins later. That's a promise

Then I'll get a refund and laugh that much harder...

 

[AnOminous]

The salt has already begun to flow from her.

I had already thought Steam's new refund policy seemed pretty much like a good idea. I hadn't even thought that it would fuck over sleazeballs like Wu.

Now I love it. Heil Gaben!

She'll probably use it as an excuse. "See? my game is great it was pirated by thousands of people. It's gamergate's fault because they convinced people to pirate my game they would otherwise totally buy"

if you make a short indie game that can be beaten in less than two hours

Eh, I think it depends on the way it's done. If the torrenters make it clear they are making it for free because it's shit and they want to deny Wu profit and encourage people to parody it and make porn mods and do what they can to insult Wu, then Wu would be butthurt. Alternatively, the torrenters can point out out the IoS version is freeware, and they don't think the PC version should cost a dime either, and that's a broadside of "your game is so shit in any form we don't people to have to pay for something so crappy you had to make it free in another format", which would probably inspire some salt.

On the other hand, Wu himself might secretly back a pirated version if it tanks on Steam, if only so he can bullshit it's popular enough people want to torrent it, assuming nothing said above applies.

Yeah I guess Wu will chose to react in whatever way she thinks will make her appear in a favorable light. I doubt she will go with that last option though, especially after her recent rant about steam refunds. But even if she is actually glad that people are pirating her game, she will still publicly act butthurt to increase her victimhood points.

I briefly wondered what's the difference, but then I realised that there's no point discussing anything John says.

No, John. If you ran DC, you would find that Sonichu's production rate outstripped your own.

She's an enpowerment fantasy.

No.

 

[A Random]

It's empowerment if it's a woman who looks like a Barbie doll wrapped in spandex?

One man's sex symbol is another woman's empowerment fantasy. Not everyone thinks like you, Bri. Some people are allowed to have different tastes.

If Brianna ran DC it would collapse under the weight of its own incompetence. Batman would hunt down internet trolls and instead of muggers. The Joker would help him! Poison Ivy and HQ would be "evil" but still strive for female empowerment, LGBT inclusiveness and a more just, equal world. Evil in only name because otherwise they wouldn't be her precious little Mary-Sues.
Supergirl would overpower Superman, because... reasons. Her magic ovaries or something.

Then suddenly there's ComicGate and millions of misogynists crawl out of the ether and stop buying her comics. Naturally, its because they hate female comic book writers. Shut up about all the ones who appeared before Wu, they don't count!

Harley Quinn is actually a warning about abusive relationships. Trust Brianna to not notice that, being the propagator of one!

And as for Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy getting together and committing crime? The Animated Series did that.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0519588/

It was an interesting concept, and a great episode, besides from the fact that Ivy was in full 'Raarr, men are pigs' mode and it wasn't even used for comedic effect like when Harley blew up the frat boys car.

I think old Harley is much hotter. Patriarchy wins no matter how you look at it, suck it Bri-Bri.

Oh god, "Batman vs... THE GAMER-GATOR (what a gator-person was done before? stop mansplaining!)"

(in fact, it'd literally be the Gamer-Gator EVERY. SINGLE. ISSUE.)

 

[TheMonkeyMan]

I would bet everything I own that Chelsea van Valkenburg got her pseudonym from Harley Quinn.

 

[Darwin Watterson]

Oh god, "Batman vs... THE GAMER-GATOR (what a gator-person was done before? stop mansplaining!)"

See, all the villains would get new "hip" repackagings.

Batman would become Batwoman (and any mentions of an already-existing character by this name will earn you a block on Twitter), but if you say that he had gender reassignment surgery, then you'll get blocked. She is a woman. She was ALWAYS at war with Eastasia a woman.

Robin would retain his name, but would be retooled into Batwoman's husband, a short Asian man with stupid looking long hair. There would be evidence that Robin served as the sidekick to another hero before Batwoman, and abused them and burned them with a cigarette though nobody will be allowed to reference that and only the villains will ever bring it up, because they're evil.

The Joker would become "The Troll," and instead of deadly pranks and whatnot, his main power would be saying nasty things to Batwoman on Twitter (and there's NO EVIDENCE that Batwoman sent those messages to herself under a different account!!!)

Harley Quinn, instead of being abused by the Troll, would become the woman in charge who, is in charge of making sure he functions because after all he's a stupid male

Killer Croc would become, as you said, "The GamerGator," and his power would be to crash his car and then film a video screaming about it, causing Batwoman to cancel a planned convention appearance

Scarecrow would become "HateChan," and his power would be to send Batwoman death threats, causing him/her to claim to leave the Batcave out of fear, though a later storyline will present evidence that he/she was in the Batcave all along and simply made that up

Bane would become "TheBaneRetort," and his power would be to take pictures of Batwoman during a convention appearance, and he can only be defeated by Batwoman having security kick him out of the convention.

If I'm missing any, let me know.

If Rev 60 ever makes it onto Steam the salt will flow as a tone of folks try it then 99% of them return it, you know, cause it crap.

I'd like to see Jonny-boi's face as he watches his sales figure zoom then crash; the rage will be so tasty!

as far as i know the return policy was updated because there was people stealing accounts and buying crap with it (we live in a time where people deal with the DOTA2 compedium like it was drugs), or they simply missclick and buyed something they did not want, in this age is hard to say that someone was "Misinformed" about a game considering that there are tons of Lets player in youtube and twitch exist, if a game is crap is very probable that a reviewer notice that

also always and A.L.W.A.Y.S follow the TotalBiscuit rule: We do not preorder, never ever

the refund policy will harm wu? hardly, come on there is people who enjoy bad rats just to prove how hardcore they are

Isn't Cheesboard basically Cerberus from Mass Effect?

No. Say what you will, but Cerberus is effective and has a leader with an understandable motivation.

 

[Jaimas]

No. Say what you will, but Cerberus is effective and has a leader with an understandable motivation.

It also is more racially and gender-inclusive.

1. Now it's "mostly women"?

2. Hatred

3. Actually it's about ethics in SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS GUIZE

4. How about no

5. Fallout 4, and this is what Wu has to say:
