Epic Pledges To Support Developers After Intense Harassment Of Ooblets Team
https://tinyurl.com/y3ddcm3n
By now, you probably know the drill: A developer announces that it will sell
the PC version of its game exclusively through the Epic Games Store. Cue
wailing, gnashing of teeth, and increasingly, harassment from folks used to
smashing that “buy” button on Steam. The latest target of Epic exclusivity
ire? The developers of Ooblets, who tried to get out in front of the
inevitable stampede of rage by snarkily putting the situation in perspective.
Coordinated harassment followed, prompting a statement from Epic on what it’
s now deeming a “disturbing” trend.
Last week, Ooblets designer Ben Wasser wrote a post explaining why he and his
development partner, programmer and artist Rebecca Cordingley, decided to
take Epic’s deal. Wasser said that the publisher offered the duo a minimum
guarantee on sales that matched what they were hoping to make on other
stores, thus securing their future as a studio. He also addressed people’s
concerns about Epic’s store in a half-joking tone, concluding that “this is
all low-stakes video game stuff we’re dealing with here” and “nothing to
get worked up about.”
But people got very worked up indeed about both the exclusivity deal and the
“tone” of Wasser’s post, which did not treat the subject of a video game
moving to a different, free platform with the funereal somberness it
apparently deserves. Over the weekend, Wasser tweeted about some of what he
was dealing with.
“Gotta quickly address the faked screenshot going around of me supposedly
saying ‘gamers would be better off in gas chambers,’” he wrote. “
Obviously never said that, and as a Jewish person, this one really hurt to
see being spread around.”
The next day, Wasser said the crowd trying to defame him had taken things a
step further, creating a fake video of him posting the fake message.
Today, in a message to Patreon supporters (reprinted on GamesIndustry.biz),
Wasser and Cordingley discussed the full scope of the problem, saying that
they’ve received “thousands if not tens of thousands of hateful,
threatening messages across every possible platform nonstop.” This cut deep,
they said, because of the otherwise “positive, supportive relationship” they
’ve had with their audience throughout development.
The two-person studio went on to say that despite having previously felt
empathy for targets of coordination internet offensives and trying to address
“that kind of thinking” in their exclusivity announcement, they “couldn’t
have guessed the scale of what it would feel like to be the target of an
internet hate mob.”
“I have been crying nonstop for the last two days and feeling like the world
has collapsed around me,” reads the studio’s Patreon post.
It was in response to all of this that Epic released its statement.
“The announcement of Ooblets highlighted a disturbing trend which is growing
and undermining healthy public discourse, and that’s the coordinated and
deliberate creation and promotion of false information, including fake
screenshots, videos, and technical analysis, accompanied by harassment of
partners, promotion of hateful themes, and intimidation of those with
opposing views,” the company wrote.
It noted that it fully supports people’s “right to speak freely and
critically” about the Epic store’s failings, but this isn’t that. This is
abuse. Epic intends to “steadfastly support our partners throughout these
challenges.” It concluded by thanking people who don’t bully developers and
“continue to promote and advocate for healthy, truthful discussion about the
games business and stand up to all manners of abuse.”

有點懶得譯....
簡單來說現在情況就是....
遊戲開發商：「你們都欺負我...(大哭)」
Epic跳出來：「我會全力支持開發商，同時譴責那些邪惡行為。」
大概就這樣吧！
