Thomas Mahler, the CEO of Moon Studios, has clapped back against 'shutdown' comments in an awkward way on social media.
Mahler caught wind of the article and responded to it on social media, going on a rant against ‘the press’ and those who hate against him and his brand on social media because of past events and opinions.
He slipped a bit, making some inflammatory comments:
I’ve been hated on Twitter by a few crazies for years now, and I also saw the calls for review bombing because, according to those folks, I’m a ‘Nazi.’
These days, apparently anyone who doesn’t include five trans characters in their game and doesn’t let their products be influenced by political bullshit is a Nazi. What a world we live in.
When the Russia/Ukraine war broke out and I replied on Twitter saying that Moon Studios wouldn’t be taking a public stance—because we’re a video game company, not a journalistic outlet—the next day a threat letter with a picture of Putin was taped to my office door, full of insults from top to bottom.
Well that went from whiney to a bigoted WTF tangent in zero seconds flat.
Urgh, I really like the Ori games and was looking forward to the new one once it came out of early access. Not anymore unfortunately.
I don’t even care about representation in games, but this is just blatant transphobia.
