That's what a forum is for, exchanging experiences, no?
I wouldnt say that, no. :-/
I mean maybe forums in general ... but this forum was created to share experiences and thoughts about game ...
Teoreticaly its fine to also share opinion about their marketing, but still ... you are 2y late, this ship is long gone and honestly i doubt anyone in Larian particulary care about this topic theese days.
I would use Will Smith slap as an example of simmilar situation.
I was completely on his side at first ... that other dude overstepped a line that should never be crossed, no matter if you do that in the name of humor ... (See the similarity ?)
But then i heared opinion of some woman on internet, who simply stated that from now on every comedian (and stand-up comedy in America, at least that get to us in Europe, is often build on ridiculing someone in the public) should be affraid that somewhere in that crowd sits another Will Smith, who cant control his temper.
And i must admit, that woman was right ... people get offended easily every day, and if those people will start such campaign against every joke that isnt "perfectly fine", or where someone "can find anything even little controversial" ... sooner or later, we will have no comedy at all ... and that is not world i would like to live. :-/
So my new statement for that situation is that they both overstepped ... IF Will would come to that stage and politely (even tho strictly) demanded that comedian (it not i dont want to say his name, i simply dont remember
) to apologize ...
I would stand up and aplaud him.
But his reaction was wrong, in long terms ... understandable, but still wrong.
Same i see here ...
Someone (Larian this time) made a joke and you disliked it ... that is okey.
But then you come here and start talking about politics, and stuff ... that is overstepping on the other side in my eyes ...
Yes i know you didnt travel to Belgia to slap Swens face.
Even tho gutter press would probably love such story.
But still, by bringing such topics up, you potenticaly can easily do more harm than help, in the long turn ... from my point of view, simply stating "i disliked it, and would appreciate if that would not happen again" would be perfectly fitting the situation.
Thats my two cents and probably all im going to say to this, i dont want to get too wrapped up.
