God of War Ragnarok was allegedly due to be dated today, but Sony delayed the announcement for reasons we’ll probably never publicly know. The likelihood is that it’s down to logistics involving pre-orders, but that’s pure speculation on our part.
As anticipation reaches fever pitch, however, fans are taking their enthusiasm to disgusting new lows.

Estelle Tigani – a cinematics producer on the sequel – noted on Twitter that she’d received harassment in the form of unsolicited penis pictures, which so-called fans were sending in “exchange” for more information on the game. “To the people who are doing [this],” she asked, “when did that ever work for you?” It’s certainly unsavoury behaviour.

Sony Santa Monica’s Cory Barlog has since weighed in on the subject: “I cannot believe I even have to say this but don’t f*cking send d*ck pics to anyone on this team, or anyone in this industry for that matter. They are busting their ass to make some[thing] for you to enjoy. Show some f*cking respect.”

Sounds like gamers to me

Yeah but they were covered with a golden fleece.

lol. Gotta love this marketing trend of keeping everything super secret blowing up in their face. Sony clearly has a gag order on Barlog who knows if the game will release this year but cant say shit because of Sonys marketing campaign. And now their employees are getting the brunt of the backlash while the faceless marketing suits hide behind their cushy desks.

P.S Twitter was a mistake. Try facebook and limit to friends if you dont want to receive dick pics.

Hopefully it continues to blowup in their faces, i hate this tactic and don't understand why they keep doing it so much now.

I have a feeling that Ed Boon with NRS is going through similar bullshit over there. He retweeted a reply from Cory about being able to reveal things. You just KNOW with all this SF6 info all over the place the last month that Boon is dying to show what they've been doing.

nobody is harrasing anyone.

Well the mods deleetd my comments on that, but either way it's fucking amazing that a leak turned into this.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Imagine being a game dev and receiving lots of dick pics but no booba pics.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Is a vicious cycle my man.

Gamers/media give to much power to these 'insiders'.

Their leaks/rumors get traffic/clicks, these create unwarranted expectations/narratives.

Then they become 'FACTS' and bullet points used by 'consoles warriors'.

Is nasty but it is what it is.

 

[Swift_Star]

Insiders should be ignored. this is not healthy at all.

 

[Kuranghi]

Slightly off-topic: I'd like to know the percentage success rate of sending unsolicited dick pics, it must work sometimes or they wouldn't keep doing it.

Really it's secretly horny women that are to blame.

 

[Kimahri]

Christ, can't people just gtow the fuck up. Ffs. Stop being pathetic assholes.

 

[mansoor1980]

if the game gets delayed to next year then i am sure gamers will send GOATSE pics.

No necessarily ignored but more like, no take their words as fact.

How am I supposed to send a picture through morse code?

 

[Johnny Concrete]

The best way to reveal the release date now is Cory tweeting a dickpic where the date is drawn on the flesh with a permanent marker.

“Here you go, you bunch of weeners”

 

[Crayon]

Fine, I'll stop.

Would pay actual money to read the message accompanying a dick pic asking for a video game release date

After all the teasing what we got were dick pics. Thanks leakers.

Slow news day + easy outrage farming

 

[Zephir]

Is GOW Ragnarok even worthy of all this? The first game was great, of course, but based on what was shown so far, it looks like it'll play exactly the same, with just a new plot and some small gameplay extras.

It might end up being an "upgrade" just as much as Forbidden West was to Zero Dawn

 

[Jennings]

This is the funniest form of protest ever. I am now laughing. This has made my day.
