Yooka-Laylee

Which, again, sucks if they haven't *bought* the console or a PC powerful enough to run it.

I wonder what Pi will say about this.
 
So Playtonic cut ties with jontron and his cameo is being re-recorded due to recent... events.

Sucks that the game is now mired in political(?) nonsense but it won't negatively impact my enjoyment.
 
I wasn't even aware jontron was in this till today but eh fuck him.

I personally think they did the right thing tbh
 
Depends how you look a it.

On one hand the company has every right to add or cut content from their intellectual property.

On the other it's really petty considering that only thing the guy did for the game was to record some noises , that's right not even lines, just noises in a game where nobody actually speaks.

As much as they wanted to avoid ''controversy'' , they got exactly that in return , so it's really ironic.

I wonder if they would have done the same thing if they were a company with ''conservative'' ideas and Jontron's stance was more ''liberal''... Hmmm.

In any case , this is totally yet another case of ''better quiet than sorry'' , i know that's not the actual saying btw.

Oh please, every game / artwork is political and reflects the opinions of those making it. Choosing to not do anything is a political action in itself.

They obviously don't want the backlash they'd get by having his name in the credits so good on them for being confident enough to make the right decision.

who says there wouldn't have been a controversy if they did nothing

before playtonic made the annoucement, you had Exceptional Individuals on NeoGaf were discussing brigading their employees with twitter presence to remove JonTron from the game, and when they didn't get an immediate response, trawl their twitters for stuff to get mad about
