Boycott Beamdog until they confirm that they have fired Amber Scott!

[PsychoDino]

Amber Scott is the worst writer in the video game biz. She corrupts classic video games with her SJW nonsense. Let's make sure she cannot hurt our beloved industry any longer. She is just a bad writer. I will not be purchasing any Beamdog products until Scott is fired! Who is with me?

Starbug does not even own the game. They are just here to troll. Ignore them.

My stance has consistently been "Look, she's bad at her job and she stepped into the spotlight to become a PR disaster so the company would be better off canning her. But we're better off not targeting her because it helps them deflect and we should be focused on Beamdog screwing up as a whole."

I think we agree then, at least partially. My stance is:
- She caused it, but because the company is standing behind her we can't really blame her alone. It's the company as a whole we should blame.
- It would probably be beneficial to get rid of her, even when that doesn't make the DLC any better. She shouldn't be sacked because it would please the angry mob, but to make sure that future titles will have better writing. She's not good at what she's doing, and in any other field that would put your job on the firing line.

Amber is a cheap scapegoat. The problem is not her but the company's policies. While she isn't exactly innocent, it doesn't mean we should demand a public execution.

So maybe we misunderstood each other yesterday. Our views are not that different.

Edit: Just in case you already read it, I made a "small" mistake while writing this.
Fixed disagree -> agree.

That's not required to point at and condemn witch hunts.

Interesting comment though, coming from the gentleman who ejaculated a lot of his rage against SJW's over on the No Mans Sky forum (no idea why!!??) and was banned within an hour.

That's totally true until you read my posts and see it isn't.

I must have misread your comment.. Let's dig it out for clarification.

Beamdog SHOULD fire her.

That's what I thought it said.

Not your personal army, she is part of the writing staff, and canning her for the whole thing is a cowardly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing to do. They should awknowlegde where the problems are and fix it, instead of firing amber and saying the problem is fixed

Haha, whatever. If you think the best way to win an argument is to single out 4 words of a paragraph that provides tons of context and shows I'm not out to get her you've already lost. You're a waste of everyone's time.

STRATOS WINS. FLAWLESS VICTORY. :) srsly ignore the trolls man...good thread

Sorry if I misconstrued your suggestion she should be sacked as you meaning she should be sacked. Easy mistake on my part based on what you wrote.

Perhaps you'd like to participate in a discussion with the big boys instead of roleplaying the ditsy cheerleader standing by the sidelines with pom poms cheering on your favourite jock?

It is in Beamdog's interest to fire her, because that is the only way people who hate SJW's will purchase the game

Yes, and it would make her a martyr.

Wow, big change of heart there.

See how that whole context thing is important?

It is not... Because Beamdog is the problem here. It is not Amber Scott who alone pushed the propaganda. Look at who works for BD, what they did before...

Beamdog as a studio is the problem, not simply Amber Scott. FFS they have David Gaider working for them!
