Those quotes are psychotic

This deters me not only from buying this game, but also from buying anything from this company.

What an unpleasant shell of a man

It was always our intention to reveal this until Stella violated her confidentiality clause and revealed this before we were ready.

I imagine they'd only have been 'ready' after most sales would have occurred.

Oh good, Saber interactive is already blocked on my steam recommendations

If you've never spoken to her or seen her, then how do you know she was replaced by someone "more talented"

This dude is not only a psychopath, he's a complete idiot. Does the CEO just get to release a statement no matter what? I feel like anyone else who proofread this could have told him this was going to make him hated.

Tech bros are the dumbest mofos on the planet, but somehow they keep getting work and money while adding negative value to the world.

What a sales pitch!

Godfuckingdammit. They're the ones making the Hellraiser game coming out in October and now I'm gonna have to miss out on principle.

This is fucking bullshit.

They need to work on their public relations. Maybe hire someone and listen as this is the opposite of damage limitation. It went from looking sketchy and dishonest. To sketchy, dishonest, rude, with fragile egos and just generally not nice people.

Wouldn't touch one of their products even if I wanted to.

If only AI Datacenters could use the goodwill their shitty users burn as fuel.

Rideshare “Stimulator” sounds like a softcore porn game

Is this the same company behind Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, or am I mistaking it for something else with "Saber" in the name?

If so,

I would frankly in retrospect have been happy to replace her with AI. At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest.

This intended burn is such a self-own it's not even funny any more. The sycophantic word-predictor is not programmed to be "honest", it doesn't even have intent in the first place!

“We look at our use of AI in this particular game, which will be a lower priced title, as a plus for consumers,” he said.

Really? Do you think the consumers will feel the same way?

When people question why AI is so hated, this is a good example why. This trash of a human being has no shame in saying he'd be happy to replace her with AI, implying she's disposable and not acknoledging her as part of the team, and "had to ask Claude" because he had never spoken or seen her. What a shitty example of management coming from Saber.

This kind of guy is why cops have to read you Miranda rights.

Also this headline is fucking terrible. I reflexively downvoted it, because it reads like 'do you still beat your wife.' Studio denies these claims we're repeating! CEO generically """responds.""" But no, the CEO didn't fucking deny it, he basically confirmed it in the smarmiest way possible. How did you bungle this both ways?
