Superhot VR Devs cuck hard; censor game for special snowflakes.

Superhot VR is a FPS game released back in 2017 on Steam at the very dawn of the push for VR headsets.

In two parts of the game, you're expected to shoot yourself in the head with the virtual guns in order to "wake up" and proceed with the campaign.

Until December 2019, there weren't any problems. But then...it happened. A complaint appeared in the forums.

Possible to proceed without shooting yourself in the head?

I love Superhot and was extremely digging the intro to the VR version after finally getting a headset. Yes, I remember how the original game ends...

But being asked to pretend to shoot myself in the head to play more than 5-10 minutes is pretty uncomfortable and distressing, for personal reasons. Borderline dealbreaker - for right now I simply stopped playing even though I genuinely wanted to continue.

Is it possible to proceed without doing this?

The dev responded with considering putting in an option to disable the scenes for people that didn't want to see them. This also came with a promise not to censor the game by removing the scenes entirely.

A reasonable compromise for reasonable people.

Until yesterday.

At 10:00 am on Wednesday, July 21st, the developers lost their fucking minds. They announced that the previously implemented "disturbing scene" toggle wouldn't be good enough in current year and proceeded to gut the game of everything they promised not to remove a year ago.

The reaction was immediate. People rightly accused the devs of being complete pussies and the devs have responded with locking threads and revealing their politics. Support for BLM and anti-racism ahoy!

An entirely reasonable backlash is currently engulfing the steam forums.

Topics are being locked. Negative reviews are being marked as "Off Topic" according to people in the forums. 4 full pages of forum topics calling the devs out on their shit (as of this posting).

Head on over for the show while it's going. Looks like the devs are in superhot water.

^^^ When did Microsoft become the closest to a "based" dev in the industry.

If you've already bought the game they've successfully taken a portion of the experience away from you.

Exactly. Don't buy their game. Make sure to tell them why, they need to now why. Over and done.

"gamers" are pathetic faggots to begin with

If Mario came out today these types would lose their minds. Only one gender to choose from and its an animal crushing, blood colored, male, on a quest to rescue a kidnapped dress wearing woman in distress.

I can only imagine what the game would look like after whiners (who couldnt possibly accept similar opposition to their woke globohomo infested games) got done mutilating it.

Videogames dont belong in the hands of such people. They are undeserving.
PS: Fuck them for their talk about "borderline" offenses and lacking empathy. Playing by their rules isnt enough for them. You need to avoid anything that might upset them like the plague. Better to tell the control freaks to fuck themselves and trample far past the border until they become desensitized.

Oh they complain about mario constantly.

I agree. Video game should have never gone mainstream.

Honestly if you're into 'VR' and have a VR-headset and/or play VR games, you are already an irredeemable faggot... Buying/Playing this censored nigger shit would only be a cherry on top...

Poles are cucks, especially so when you throw some money their way. I bet that this dev would whore out his own mother for fame and money. Game devs and journos should be gassed.

Thanks for the summary. Good writeup , so I do not have to wast 20 minutes listening to a YouTube rant covering it.

[ - ] mikenigger 2 points 2.8 yearsJul 23, 2021 05:12:04 ago (+2/-0)

or a video that is barely over 10 minutes that qualifies for more ads than a 9:59 video would

[ - ] try 2 points 2.8 yearsJul 23, 2021 05:29:02 ago (+2/-0)

Yup... TheQuartering... but I watch all of Jeramys vids and 10 other gamer vloggers every week. I am a sick fuck who never sleeps and also reads while listening to vlogs at double speed and SOMETIMES do engineering at same time with feeds for Fox Bisiness News channel on mute streaming all day.

I need help. Dont be me.
My sister claims people dont have to worry about being like me, because I am in a class all by myself at this point.

But i really dont like video vlogs dedicating 25% or 30% for cut/paste ads in middle.

I only ever see ads on YT when I'm at my neighbor's house.

[ - ] mikenigger 1 point 2.8 yearsJul 23, 2021 11:09:25 ago (+1/-0)

they still affect you as videos are stretched out to reach these monetization thresholds

[ - ] In_Cog_Nito 1 point 2.8 yearsJul 23, 2021 11:13:30 ago (+1/-0)

True, but that's what the Playback Speed setting is for.
