3DR Staff Name Calling YouTubers
Hey All!

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

Nick who posts here and other 3DR staff like 3D artists are name calling YouTubers. Accusing them of “following the trend” and more.

3DR can’t take any criticism and now they are burning bridges with creators.

Enjoy the proof:

Nick accusing Zlim of following the trend and one of their 3D artists calling Zlim an idiot:

One of their 3D artists calling UndertheMayo a clown:

Ex-3DR Slipgate dev who posted it and the toxicity behind the scenes when he was there:

Oh and where is this all coming from? The Slipgate dev channel on the 3DR server:

They also have attacked Civvie for his video on 3DR. There’s more to share but that’s enough for now.

Zlim couldn’t post his review yesterday because he is caring for his sick grandmother all while Nick accuses him of following trends.

Disgusting.

Support your creators and don’t buy this game! Every creator had the same issues of soft locks, crashes, physics flying you out of the map, weapon selection and mod issues and so much more like the busted AI. Watching that one enemy just clip through anything to jump stomp you is embarrassing.

The zeitgeist is that the game is a broken and unfinished mess and it is.

We want to apologize for these comments as they do not represent the opinion of either 3D Realms or Slipgate Ironworks.

We encourage constructive criticism and player feedback is extremely important to us as a company, positive or negative and we take it very seriously. Our team has been collecting feedback since the demo came out several months ago, and over the past weeks through our forums in order to make the game better. A lot of things have improved due to this and we are working on more updates that will follow based on the comments we’ll collect from you. We share the same passion as you do and we want to make great games!

Sharing these comments is a very serious breach of an employee NDA, and a violation of privacy within the company, and we will not allow any harassment towards our employees. As such, this thread will be locked going forward.

You are the damage control, right? I hope so, to think that you are doing this on your own is just sad.

And the consumers that they ask for money for a functional product aren’t human? There is a reason in any industry you keep emotions in check because that will have ripple effects down the line. Would you want to review or do a video for a dev that will just dunk on you for something they don’t agree with?

They aren't dunking on the YouTubers.

It turns out that these screenshots are from a private dev chat that an ex-employee still had access to.

So developers PRIVATELY TALKING AMONGST THEMSELVES are rude about YouTubers that didn't like their game. Erm, of course they would do that. That's normal.

Famously, when original Doom came out, a PC games review magazine gave it a low score and said "it is a shame you can't talk to the monsters". (Clearly the reviewer enjoyed those old 80s and 90s first-person Dungeons & Dragons games, and so wasn't in the right mindset to enjoy a pure first-person shooter.)

I'm pretty sure that in the iD Software office, when they saw that review, one employee said to another "wow, what an idiot", probably with a whole bunch of F words.

There's no need to be polite about being when talking privately with your colleagues.

3D farts and Slipshit studios won´t see not even penny from me.
Disgusting bastards.

You did very well to present all of this lad, Slipgate needs a little pause from making games and to organize a little , it's been 12 years or so and they still pushing games which are not stable or complete . It's a shame to see wasted talent and absolutely gorgeous people working in such a mess . . .

But the are the screenshots highlight that, you are free to disproof of it if you want. First rule with anything online if you don’t want your dirty laundry aired keep it offline not on a chat.

There is a difference between not liking and the fact most highlighted the bugs how is that there fault for pointing out?

The internet was in its infancy like gaming is this is 2024 not the 90’s, key point they said it in the comfort of a co worker not in an online chat.

If they want to talk privately use something other then discord.

I wouldn't call it normal, but it does change things. They can say whatever they want privately, but whoever posted those, did screw them regardless.

It was in their own private discord chat. An unhappy ex-employee still had access, lurked in there and took screenshots. Developers shouldn't have to worry about "being professional" when privately chatting amongst themselves.

And it isn't even something shocking. Even privately amongst themselves, they are merely using words like "idiot" and "clown".

People are acting as if those are terrible slurs!

Is it there fault they didn’t remove his access to that server? If you fire someone from the company or let go do you not revoke access to everything they had? When you speak verbally with someone it’s not logged. A discord channel like texts saves everything private or not.

Again they provided them the keys, regardless you keep a professional they are a business.

adding to this. Here's Jared, the main PR guy for 3DR, is taking part in this behavior too, indirectly calling people "sheep" because he's too much of a coward to talk to creators directly and say "i think you're dumb".

Stay tuned for a tone-deaf jpeg apology
"we're sowwy about this behavior, we encourage everyone to speak their mind freely without fear! This does not represent what we stand for here in 3D Realms!"

On one hand, yes. On the other hand it shows how they react to criticism. The reason you can say whatever you want in private is not because people would ignore your private comments, it's because no one else hears them. Now it's public and paints a bad picture.
