[Grandma Fleece]

i am going to start this off by saying i completely disagree with how the factorio dev acted but before that i was sorta interested in the game but i don't know what to do now so i am look for help in the community to help me decide

This is a game not a political statement.

@gun-runner89x that kind of over reaction was the reason the whole factorio dev controversy started in the first place
he was just asking a question you didnt have to be like that

You're questioning whether you should buy a product or not because the dev was being, and I quote "extremely rude". Dev was 100% RIGHT to call out this cancel culture BS. This f*cking level of entitlement really f*cking gets on my nerves. Controversy? Anyone who thinks anything Kovarex said was anyway "controversial" needs to take a good long hard luck at themselves in a mirror. Some wannabe snowflake took something Kovarex said, and called for him/Factorio to be cancelled because of something that was taken completely out of context due to that someone getting upset? Grow up and get real.

His response was telling these woke SJW "cancel culture" types exactly where to go. I only wish more people had the gumption to tell these pathetic clowns that their opinions aren't worth the sh*t they continuously spew out of their mouths.

@gun-runner89x look im not going sit here and say that you or anybody else cant call out cancel culture you think is occuring im simply saying that he was at the very least overreacting to a simple request he could have done it a lot nicer way than he did

Apparently Americans are pretty thin-skinned. The internet is NOT USA.
We do not speak USA on the internet. We speak english.
A lot of us don't give a crap about your country. So what?
Get used to the differencies, top PC annoyancies of the world.

@knighttemplar1960 the whole controversy has literally nothing to do with language it was a fan asking the developer to put a disclaimer on a controverial person he was promoting and the developer responded rudely to this has nothing to do with diversity or language

You misspelled idiots. It'd be the same as me insulting your country thereby lumping you in with the worst dregs of your part of the world. Wouldn't like that much if I assumed that of you would you?

@shuteye_DK my is that his response was pretty rude not his native language or birth country i understand your concern because a lot people on the internet are VERY zenophobic and i am not trying to be like those people

Factorio is a great game. The dev has a follow up interview from that incident that may assuage some concerns:
