Regarding the Puritan Purge (sanitization of this game)

Community General Discussion

I don’t think the issue is necessarily that they renamed one or two achievements, or changed some skill names, etc. but that this stuff is escalating. They are doing a lot more than just renaming an achievement and it is escalating rapidly. It didn’t start with renaming these achievements and I promise you it is not going to end there. And it’s about a lot more than just some humorous achievement names. This is part of a much larger trend of sanitization that is going to carry over into the development of future content as well.

Yes.

It’s not even remotely close to hyperbole.

26

I am asking what are you considering, to think that this is as far as it will go

You sure typed a lot of words and seem a bit upset over what things are named or not. But I’m sure you’re different than those other people who are a bit upset over what things are named or not.

Thank you for being completely dishonest. “Changed a bit of dialogue”. Lol we can clearly see they’ve done and are doing a lot more than just changing some dialogue one time. But yeah go ahead and keep being an intentionally dishonest person, wonderful personality trait.

Let me borrow your crystal ball real quick.

Aside from logical fallacies, this is another big problem. Nobody here can tell the future, try as we might. Could there be continued “sanitization?” Sure. That is a thing that can happen. It could also be that happens and we are all better off. Maybe we are worse off. Maybe it doesn’t happen at all.

Have your opinion. Share it if you like. Others will do the same, and let’s all stop trying to read tea leaves or, and I know this is hard for a lot of people commenting in GD, castigating others explicitly or implicitly for believing a certain thing. Especially if that thing is simply pointing out a logical fallacy (which it was.)

What’s the point of even replying if you’re going to intentionally mischaracterize and be totally dishonest about what’s being discussed? Just coming in to troll or what? I’m honestly curious.

These forums are far more toxic than anything in the game.

I guess there is no meme for that

I’m sorry, are you not upset over what things are named or not? :expressionless:

So you agree that changing Trollbane’s dialogue doesn’t matter? Cool.

Your other examples in your post, are:

Changing “Every Man for Himself” to “Will to Survive”, and;

Changing some bro jokes after the company got sued for sexual harassment.

I find it very hard to care about these things. Why do you think they’re bad?

I don’t think you need a crystal ball when you can clearly see the trend over time. They started removing and changing stuff before, and then they did some more, and then some more, and more again just recently, and more planned in the future. Each time getting more ridiculous with reasoning behind the changes. Where exactly is the crystal ball needed?

well I am going to put you down as being wrong but time will tell - as far as I can see they can do a heck of a lot with armor yet.
