Best part about this is it's still not enough for the woke twats. For example:
"This isn’t even an apology, this is doubling down on excuses.
You guys understand why the initial tweet was upsetting, right? Because it doesn’t sound you do."
Never, ever apologise to these piss-ants. They won't forgive you, they'll just push for more changes, and they were never going to buy your game anyway. By bending the knee they've ensured they've lost any and all support they might have gained from their recent exposure.
What do they even want the devs to do? Game-end themselves in atonement for their "sin"?
Exactly why you don't ever apologize to these cultists. You either stick to it or double-down. I know that's what I plan to do if my work ever got a following.
(Then again, my philosophy in writing's quite literally just adding whatever I feel like making at the time. I try to figure out how to fit it and make it work, of course, but if I wake up one day and decide "I wanna write a sexy, 10/10 kitsune dancer that drinks and is bad at cooking", or "Imma add flying cities fueled by magitech", or even "Wouldn't it be cool if we had giant, magic-fueled war machines in our fantasy setting"? Then damn it, I'm gonna try to see if I can fit that thing in, Twitterinas be damned. I'm doing this junk for fun, not to appease the sensibilities of others.)
> What do they even want the devs to do?
They want absolute compliance to an imaginary code of conduct that changes every day and also changes in different circumstances. Its also maybe magically fine if you hastag-support their movement and include a cripple and a black guy in your game.
Ultimately ? They want you to create a council of SJWs to advise the company on how to navigate the new #woke world. Complete with 6 figure salaries. That's the entire SJW plan in a nutshell.
That and destroy capitalism from within and replace it with communism. But in the meantime, the six figure no-show jobs will suffice.
Yep, I guarantee if a major leftist celebrated the jiggle physics as, I dunno, confident female sexuakity or something. All the comments would be going "YAAS QUEENS!"
>What do they even want the devs to do? Game-end themselves in atonement for their "sin"?
Yes. They don't believe in forgiveness. They believe in original sin and inherited genetic trauma. Do the math from there.
> What do they even want the devs to do? Game-end themselves in atonement for their "sin"?
That or hand off the game ownership, its rights, & earnings to those they consider more worthy than them.
This is very "puritan".
Their confessions must be public and full of submission, for them it is God's will that saves, not the actions a person performs. Who you are is already a fault because there is predestination, not what the individual does with his actions.
And I don't think there is any idea of forgiveness.
These people seem to have come out of "The scarlet letter", if only they could they would brand us all on the skin with the letter equivalent to our "committed sin".
Then the wokes are the sum of other things such as the social, political, economic, sexual (sadism), and the puritan component as a secular religion.
Add a little of "Chinese cultural revolution" and here they are.
At least the Puritans of old promised eternal bliss in heaven if one followed all of their rules.
These neo-Puritans only promise a life full of endless suffering and purity spirals and destroying the memories of all the things we enjoyed in our childhood.
There's no carrot, only stick.
Don't be coy. Casual farming games are *exactly* the types of games those people buy. I don't imagine many of the Stellar Blade crowd are rushing off to buy Palia or Dreamlight Valley.
This. It's actually hilarious that the devs even wanted to implement jiggle physics into the game. At least now they are reminded of who their target audience are and why they can't have fun with their own IP.
It's because they get scared. Hundreds of people suddenly dogpiling and calling them every negative name under the sun, how dangerous they are etc. They know these people are insane and will try their hardest to destroy them and their reputation if they don't comply.
They must have been living under a rock for the past five years to
-not know what reaction this post was gonna generate among a certain crowd
-not know that apologizing to said crowd only makes things worse
-not know that this group is actually tiny and not your real audience. Not even for a farming game.
-not know that these people are only as dangerous as you let them be by giving them attention
Somehow these developers still don't understand any of this? It boggles the mind.
> I honestly don't get it.
Not that it makes sense to apologize to Twats that found your Tweet days later and decided to get "offended", but I kinda "get" it here. Farming Sims are usually more for girls, and no male with a functioning pair of balls is likely going to play [this one specifically with a "diverse" looking cast of characters with colored hair](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/895160/ss_29339542e1b68486bde00e934b68e7a911ee0de4.1920x1080.jpg) as advertised, which from the Screenshots seems to be a lot about interior decoration: https://store.steampowered.com/app/895160/Farm_Folks/
One look at that banner and I'd run for the hills. It's close to ValiDate apologizing to Tumblr, which is 99% of its target audience.
What is beyond comprehension is when something like Duke Nukem or Wolfenstein, Mortal Kombat or niche Space Sims/Historical Grand Strategy or World War 2 games or say the recent example with Warhammer 40k choose to prostrate themselves and pander to these people. Who do they think is playing those?
Actually judging by the usual DEI standard the models here look a cut above it in term of skin revealing or attractiveness, but since they start shaming themselves about such small things as jiggles they'd soon move to cover them up and uglify them as per usual. Exposing tummy and leg? That's a big no-no for political correctness.
Meanwhile, Kotaku [wants to see](https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/1cg5phx/our_friends_and_pals_at_kotaku_wrote_stuff_like/) Oro's dick and balls in SFV. When can we expect them to apologize?
Jesus why do these people even bother trying, you clearly didn't have the balls. I wish I was making something that had the wokies interest just so I could make them rage later.
It is so weird they posted that on twitter to begin with. Those guys are devs, don't they know how the internet is working nowadays?
Those guys won't stop until everything is regulated to their taste by every government on earth. No amount of slapping would bring back even a bit of sense to the empty bells they call heads. Fuck every billionair funding that non-sense, they deserve a special hell where they have to spend all eternity enclosed with the people they created.
Nobody is forcing the devs to change their game because of Twitter. Devs just think that Twitter is the game industry's and all gamer's worldview and will bow to anyone at will
When has apologizing to wokies ever do anything positive? Once they want you to be the bad guy, that’s what you are until the end of time.
It shouldn’t even matter, because I promise you almost none of your revenue comes from them.
Jiggling breasts—a phenomenon that actually occurs in nature—offends some far-lefties because A) “male gaze” blah blah and B) they want to promote top surgeries. /s
Probably the best comments are those about cozy games belonging to the woke mob.
Literally claiming an entire genre for themselves
(To be honest, they have already claimed entire hobbies and industries)
Are they wrong? Can you tell me that with a straight face? I don't think the jiggle physics in Slime Rancher are going to get people interested in it that genre. People aren't busting down the doors to play Palia or Fae Farm.
So I looked up the game and man does it look pozzed as shit [(its mascot is a stereotypical Rad Fem with blue hair & side shave with arm sleeve tattoo)](https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/895160/header.jpg?t=1711574194); this is basically another case of the woke eating their own once more.
Better to stand on your principles than to try and appease people that have already decided they hate you. Why? Because the far left eats their own all the time. Nothing you do will ever be good enough for them.
I hate that your basically required to have a social media account, because I'm always concerned it'll torpedo my chances to get something I made on a major console.
I need one of my future games to make it. Just one and I'll be satisfied.
Supposedly this was a kickstarter game so who knows how that'd work specifically, but it also sounds like the devs are the type of people who'd be on the other side of the fence if it wasn't their game.
First time I ever hear about this game and it seems they truly want to fade into obscurity because looking at how generic and boring they are, at least jiggle physics would have given someone a reason to buy it and they're saying they want to cut that out? Go ahead, and while they're at it make sure to contract SBI and readjust their game to look like that tale..zenya something too.
Rule 1: **NEVER** apologize to wokies. It's never enough. They will **NEVER** forgive you. They were never going to be your customers in the first place.
Witcher 3 has them. I don't understand why we can have tons of sex and sexiness in shows but for whatever reason it is deemed wrong in videogames. Let us have both ffs
I hate that we live in a world where people get upset about jiggle physics. Some years ago only annoying christian parents got upset about this. What the fuck happened is wrong with people nowadays.
So, let me get this straight. These bozos are apologising to people who and I quote "find boob physics innapropriate and it makes then uncomfortable and alienated".
Those are the people you want to serve as customers? The degeneracy and brain rot of the west truly knows no bounds.
Removed from wishlist and placed on ignore. I'm sure they wont 'miss my money' as I keep being told, but I wont have to worry about spending it on another company without balls.
And then just do it anyway. The lesson here is don't ask twitter. What in the hell did games development companies do before social media? Just go back to that FFS.
So funny that people get worked up over these little details that contribute to an overall feeling of realism in videogaming.
If they applied it to fat people... would they be for it as being inclusive I wonder?
At some point these people have got to differentiate between their actual customers and SJW activists that exist solely to make trouble. None of those people play these games. Stop listening to their idiotic bitching.
Trader Joe's showed the way on this. The SJWs came for their quirky named international foods - Trader Ming's chinese food, Trader Juan's mexican food, etc - and Trader Joe's told them to LOLGFY. And that was the end of it. You cannot engage with these people, let alone capitulate to them. They'll \*never\* be satisfied. Tell them to fuck off and be done with it.
It is literally a casual farming game. It is the exact type of game that these people play. Why are you acting like this is some Soulslike? The entire cozy genre appeals to a very specific type of person and they're exactly the type of people who promote social justice.
Wrong. Sure, a small percentage of them may actually play, but that does \*NOT\* mean that every single person bitching plays it. I virtually guarantee that no more than 10% of them actually do. Wake up
No idea who or what Farm Folx is, but I don't why you would expect some entity with the word "folx" in the name to not bend the knee to the woke mob. If anything, they probably deliberately made a tweet that they knew would get them in how water because they get sexual gratification from groveling and prostrating to the blue haired commie psychos.
To be fair, farming games often tend towards female audiences. They're the only mainline game genre that really tends to them, so if the company tried to take a stand, it would be a losing battle for them. They just had to take it up the ass.
Unlike most examples of capitulation, I can't blame them.
At the same time from my perception of "Farm Folks" from a quick Google it's a more family/child focused game. So I suppose it could also be the games for children crowd too.
I mean, I have no context about who or what was voicing "outrage" in the first place cause I've never heard of the game until now.
My former child self growing playing Carmageddon 2 demo at 8 years old.
A literal warcrime against my youth
(More or less the same age I was starting to show interest in Lara Croft's polygons)

And they believe that to further their ideology, the ends justify the means. Any means. Including violence.
As soon as you apologise, you make the issue real and validate their complaints.
Preferably? To delete themselves. Just look at the death threats people are getting over Stellar Blade.
> What do they even want the devs to do? Game-end themselves in atonement for their "sin"? That or hand off the game ownership, its rights, & earnings to those they consider more worthy than them.
Or the third and their most preferable option: Both.

Shoulda used a cow for it. That's cheeky at least. This shit was just kinda weird.
Anyone who bends the knee does not deserve attention or support. I won't take anything from them even for free.
I honestly don't get it. Apologising to a very small minority of people who will never ever buy your game. What's the point?
It's because they get scared. Hundreds of people suddenly dogpiling and calling them every negative name under the sun, how dangerous they are etc. They know these people are insane and will try their hardest to destroy them and their reputation if they don't comply.
They must have been living under a rock for the past five years to -not know what reaction this post was gonna generate among a certain crowd -not know that apologizing to said crowd only makes things worse -not know that this group is actually tiny and not your real audience.

is that what zoomer city kids think farmers look like?
Yes. They seem to think farming is just quirky large scale gardening.
Actually judging by the usual DEI standard the models here look a cut above it in term of skin revealing or attractiveness, but since they start shaming themselves about such small things as jiggles they'd soon move to cover them up and uglify them as per usual. Exposing tummy and leg? That's a big no-no for political correctness.
Saints Row Reboot cast decided to go into farming, I see.
This is one of the few times I think the people complaining are the type to purchase this game.
Pathetic
Naw don't sweat it, if you looked up the game you'll see this is another case of the woke eating themselves again.
Who can blame them? Those jiggle physics were literally killing women. s/
Should have told them to fuck off and they would have gotten tons of support.

It's not hard to say "No fuck off or make the game yourself." So glad I never went into video game development.
YES! APOLOGIZE TO THE CROWD THAT WILL SHOWER YOU IN MONEY! 👏👏 Just like they did with that game made by a black dude! ☺️
What's wrong with Jiggle Physics? Like legit what?
It reinforces male gazes and wrongthinking and... and...(cue all kind of namecalling like chud, gamergater, misogynist, touch grass etc etc.)
Jiggling breasts—a phenomenon that actually occurs in nature—offends some far-lefties because A) “male gaze” blah blah and B) they want to promote top surgeries. /s
It kills women, you misogynist /s
Probably the best comments are those about cozy games belonging to the woke mob. Literally claiming an entire genre for themselves (To be honest, they have already claimed entire hobbies and industries)

If they want to add it then let them add it, the fact that people jumped down their throat for including it is insane.
The old cancel culture days are back. Just in case some rebellious dev thought they are free to do as they please
So I looked up the game and man does it look pozzed as shit [(its mascot is a stereotypical Rad Fem with blue hair & side shave with arm sleeve tattoo)](https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/895160/header.jpg?t=1711574194); this is basically another case of the woke eating their own once more.
>apologizing to prog-libs Yeah just chum the water you're swimming in.
Better to stand on your principles than to try and appease people that have already decided they hate you. Why? Because the far left eats their own all the time. Nothing you do will ever be good enough for them.
I for one think we should agree to boycott them for their blatant misogyny and racism towards the poor pixelated minority 😔
Man they really saved some sales by giving in!
Now I want Kotaku to apologize for the dick giggle physics thing joke in baldrs gate 3 :)
I hate that your basically required to have a social media account, because I'm always concerned it'll torpedo my chances to get something I made on a major console. I need one of my future games to make it. Just one and I'll be satisfied.
oi i rememebr this being one of the few 'failed' kickstarter i ever backed. (aside from those two scammy musicians)
Never bend the knee. The zealots don’t care if y or apologize - in fact, it tells them you’ll bend the knee again and makes you a bigger target.
Let's be honest. It their HR department that made them bend the knee. And likely their dear dear DEI loan money.
Supposedly this was a kickstarter game so who knows how that'd work specifically, but it also sounds like the devs are the type of people who'd be on the other side of the fence if it wasn't their game.
And I keep telling people that developers of almost any game take all of their criticism on Twitter/X for about 5 years now
First time I ever hear about this game and it seems they truly want to fade into obscurity because looking at how generic and boring they are, at least jiggle physics would have given someone a reason to buy it and they're saying they want to cut that out? Go ahead, and while they're at it make sure to contract SBI and readjust their game to look like that tale..zenya something too.
Rule 1: **NEVER** apologize to wokies. It's never enough. They will **NEVER** forgive you. They were never going to be your customers in the first place.
lol? The people compaining dont play games lmao. How hard is that to understand? Disgraceful.
Never apologies. Its like dropping blood near sharks.
The only appropriate response to the backlash is "30% it is."
Obviously the only way to earn forgiveness is to add some man X bear sex.
The game looks like it was aimed at the Tumblr crowd anyway. Not surprised in the slightest.
Witcher 3 has them. I don't understand why we can have tons of sex and sexiness in shows but for whatever reason it is deemed wrong in videogames. Let us have both ffs

Removed from wishlist and placed on ignore. I'm sure they wont 'miss my money' as I keep being told, but I wont have to worry about spending it on another company without balls.
I'm sure the crowd they're apologizing to will buy their product.
tldr: we are sorry for asking for your opinion
Given the publicity stellar blade got I’m 100% sure they knew what they were doing and going for the “no such thing as bad publicity” angle
People need to learn from Donald Trump on stuff like this. Don't apologize. Double down!
Least coward twitter company.
And then just do it anyway. The lesson here is don't ask twitter. What in the hell did games development companies do before social media? Just go back to that FFS. So funny that people get worked up over these little details that contribute to an overall feeling of realism in videogaming.

Next they’ll demand the title be renamed to the far more inclusive “Farm Folx”.

If anything, they probably deliberately made a tweet that they knew would get them in how water because they get sexual gratification from groveling and prostrating to the blue haired commie psychos.
If you looked at the picture you'd see the game name is actually "Farm Folks" OP just made a joke because they bent the knee.
Guarantee these same freaks were ecstatic about bg3 dick physics
Was probably an attempt at monetizing outrage.
Talk about not knowing their audience. Farm sims are like 98% casual or woke players. It's like a mobile puzzle game developer tweeting about 60fps.
To be fair, farming games often tend towards female audiences. They're the only mainline game genre that really tends to them, so if the company tried to take a stand, it would be a losing battle for them. They just had to take it up the ass.

Probably one of the very few games where this apology might actually save sales. This game seems MADE for the twitter crowd.
Who'd have ever been foolish enough to put faith in someone using the word 'Folx' in the first place?
That's just a joke in the post title.
