Five Nights At Freddy's creator, Scott Cawthon, has retired from game development

[Kioku]

Remember, in 2008 Biden said he doesn't support gay marriage

Right

Politics have no place the gaming world. This is exactly why. Can't have your own beliefs without someone getting it twisted to fit their agenda. I sincerely hope this guy finds his peace.

Well, actually I don't believe this caused him to retire. I think it happened at a coincidental time because his wife was pregnant and he is getting older

I'm not saying it did, but people really need to get some perspective.

I know, I don't play horror games to yell over people voting Trump

Yes.


We're supposed to.

What happened to the Jayro who was represented by the Pirate Party?

Voting for someone because you think it's best for the economy, even if it's really shitty for vulnerable people, is shitty behaviour.

Alternatively, you may believe that a strong economy will do the most good for the most people. From a utilitarian perspective, this would then be a logical decision to make. From such a perspective, favoring a smaller good over the greater is "shitty behavior".

I guess 45% of the country are bad people for liking Trump..... (sarcasm don't cancel me)

Give em even a whiff of politics in any given thread and it will be detailed so fast.

Politics hurt my soul
I didn't vote last year cause both sucked
Even the 3rd party candidates hurt me

Dunno, I think the people cancelling him have a point. It's the same reason I won't give money to something like Chick-Fil-A. I wouldn't like money I give to someone being funneled into a cause that chips away at my rights as a gay and trans person. You don't have to like cancel culture, or politics, or anything, to understand why people (namely FNAF's LGBTQ fans) would be upset about this after financially supporting him for years.

Maybe now Game Theory can make videos that aren't related with the FNAF lore now. Lol

Sad to see people attack someone over a political party choice, makes you think how people go the extra mile to find a reason to hate someone.

Personally I never cared about the games, or the series, or even the developer himself, so this leaves me indifferent, but to see the motivation behind quitting sure doesn't bring much excitation.

FNAF isn't over. Some dork will replace Scott

I can certainly appreciate your reasoning; it's a totally valid way to feel. It's your right to choose who you wish to support. It's also more-or-less your right to express your feelings about his decisions. That being said, I cannot condone the people who have chosen to harass him and threaten him. (Not to say that you condone that either!) That sort of behavior tears at the very fabric of a society and fundamentally deprives others of the right to make that choice for themselves.

If you actively choose to make some people suffer for other people's benefits, you are shitty. If this applies to you personally, then you, personally, are shitty.

I was being facetious, but on a more serious note, causing harm to some to benefit others is a completely unavoidable fact of life in a world with limited resources. Presumably, your government pursues policies that benefit its citizens. Many of these policies will be directly detrimental to people who live in other countries. However, only the most egregious instances of this generate any sort of controversy. This is (presumably) because it is understood that governments strive to improve the lot of their own citizens.

I could list numerous examples where we choose to harm some to benefit others. People are imprisoned so that the greater number may live in safety. Climate policies are pursued for the common good. Some people pay more than they receive in taxes so that society as a whole functions better. The entirety of government spending is a struggle between competing interests for limited money. Provide more money for food stamps and affordable housing programs have less. To pretend that most worthwhile things can be done without hurting anybody is naive and can potentially lead to worse outcomes in general. Some situations are win-wins, but in most cases there are no free lunches.

My government actively wants people like me and my family to die, so it has more public money available to steal and give to its chums, so let's not go there.

Good riddance to this guy. Deplorable behavior should be met with condemnation.
