Yeah and all that white knighting gives visibility to the issue and now Larian has reached out to ask for the full teams name to put in the credits. Good thing the common population doesn’t share your opinion or that never would have happened
Except if there actually is an issue (we still haven't heard from the people affected by this) then this accomplishes next to nothing. If this generation continues to rely on fickle internet FOMO crap instead of, I don't know, actually attempting to solve their problems, nothing is going to get better. We've turned companies into 'internet responders' who care more about their internet image than actually taking care of their workers. If this group of workers is actually affected by this as negatively as the internet feels, then they need to work for change internally in their industry. This is just a shiny thing the internet picked up on before it moves on to the next.
Lmao that’s the most reaching argument I’ve ever heard in my life. Won’t anyone please save these poor companies from being “internet responders” and help them from pretending to care about their workers and forcing their hand to actually do something.
After all the only change that matters is internal change. Conveniently the kind of change that the general public also has zero way of influencing so any time a company performs any kind of obvious injustice it’s obviously virtue signalling to mention it since we have zero influence on internal policy.
Much better that companies not even give an appearance of giving a shit compared to the world we live in now where the direct problem people complained about is now being addressed
Reading comprehension might be an issue for you. Never did I ever insinuate that the companies were in need of saving from this. But thanks for letting me know my points are wasted on you. Stick with your echo chambers I guess.
Reading comprehension might be an issue for you if you can’t understand sarcasm
Oh nice, internet sarcasm? That's basically the "it's a prank, bro" when you get called out. Nice try though.
Wow would you look at that they even had internal policy changes because of internet white knighting. Granted we can take this with a heavy heavy grain of salt and their commitment remains to be seen but you’re just taking L after L

It's funny to me that you think someones point of view differing from yours could be an L. You do realize we can have differing points of view, and I have yet to see an L in mine, right?
Not being able to read sarcasm you really do have a Reddit mindset
I check back on this thread just to see if you have anything intelligent to offer. I'll probably just stop checking now..
Wow that’s actually kind of pathetic that you’re so wrong and you don’t have a life
grabs popcorn Oh really? Tell me more! I always enjoy seeing a discussion devolve into middle school banter, it really helps me realize WHY you have the views you do. Because you're 13...
I mean the fact that you’re so dumb that you think you need to open the thread to check for updates instead of just waiting for a notification that tells you if someone replies just speaks for itself
Oh and then the sheer arrogance of you saying that the people who disagreed with you was the reddit crowd when the top comment of the Reddit thread was asking “who cares” like you were is just the best cherry on top
Just to be clear calling you pathetic isn’t just a school ground insult it’s a statement of fact evidenced by your comments
Yeah I was wrong with the reddit comment. People like you living in your echo chambers is just an internet thing, not really a reddit thing. I'm ok with people like you on the internet calling me pathetic too, tbh. It means you had 0 comeback to the discussion. Look into argument debate info bro, what you just did is textbook 'I lost' stuff.
Lmao the argument was settled when the public giving a shit has objectively helped credit the translation team. Hell the person who originally posted is a professional translator i.e. the closest you can get to the situation without threat of being fired for saying something.
What do you call someone who spends all day refreshing a thread on the internet hoping for a response from an internet stranger?
Pathetic. Hell you even BRAGGED about it to me. Like I said it’s a statement of fact. If you don’t believe me brag to your friends
...You brag to your friends about internet arguments?
Reading comprehension not your strong suit huh?
I’ll break it down so you can understand
I’m making fun of you for bragging about checking on your internet arguments and that if you told your friends they would also think you are pathetic
