All-women Ghostbusters video game developers file for bankruptcy, having lost 12 million $ (debts)

Courtyen · 2016-08-02T01:37:26+00:00

"Debts" is the key work. The fact that they went bankrupt completely has very little to do with the licensing of ghostbusters, it was just the final bad decision in a line of bad decisions.

Regardless, as far as I'm concerned this isn't PPD. The ghostbusters movie having a shit reception is PPD sure, but this is too unrelated.

elementalist467 · 2016-08-02T02:59:04+00:00

They made a bad game, based on a niche franchise, a bad film, and the worse voted trailer ever. Inevitable, really.

Qwalt · 2016-08-02T03:12:48+00:00

The movie/games protagonists are "all women" not the studio that made the game I'm pretty sure.

Effthebitch · 2016-08-02T04:16:46+00:00

Jesus, what a dumb post. This isn't a pass at all, some developers bid low for the name rights and then made a shitty game. Seems like a whole lot of people don't understand what this sub is at all. It's not "woman hating", though many of you seem to be laboring under that assumption. Get over your mommy issues and educate yourself as to why this sub exists. When you find something about a female trying to get away with shit simply because she's a she, then come post.

fastal_12147 · 2016-08-02T04:49:27+00:00

so a mostly male company had their pussy pass denied because they made a game with two women as playable characters?

bensawn · 2016-08-02T05:57:33+00:00

shit like this is so fucking petty it makes me want to unsubscribe from this sub.

the point of this sub is to share those moments where women look for special treatment for no other reason than they are women.

lately this sub actively roots for women to fail.

i like seeing equality in action, but im not a fucking misogynist.

this "GOOD THESE BITCHES FAILED" mentality is so fucking toxic good riddance you creeps.

Geralt-of_Rivia · 2016-08-02T14:29:47+00:00

Further proof you can't force this shit. Either its good or its not, but you can't blame sexism. The movie was awful and the game abysmal, and not because of gender.

SupaStud · 2016-08-02T03:59:26+00:00

That's kinda a crappy title. As much as I love to see all things about the shitty Ghostbusters fail, this one had male and female characters, and looked like it wasn't based on any of the movies.

Gunslinger_11 · 2016-08-02T13:00:02+00:00

I wouldn't wish bankruptcy on anyone, but damn was there no one doing demographic research or have anyone who knew how to market a product?

2016-08-02T13:40:05+00:00

I do feel bad for the rank and file workers here, actual artists, developers, project managers and such. They don't get a say in what the company takes on as a project, but they do their best regardless. I hope they find work in a successful studio and that future employers give them a chance

JustWoozy · 2016-08-02T14:28:58+00:00

Good.

rickster907 · 2016-08-02T10:17:23+00:00

Sorry. The whole female GB idea is fail.

You shouldn't screw with something as iconic as Ghostbusters. Bad idea, all around.

joedog62 · 2016-08-02T11:01:52+00:00

Loved how they assumed that the movie was going to do good

Trail_of_Jeers · 2016-08-02T07:14:14+00:00

how is this pussy pass denied?

therealchungis · 2016-08-02T12:25:17+00:00

Why did they make that game? Did anyone at any point think the majority of the gaming community would have any interest? They would have had to make a fucking masterpiece for anyone to even give it the time of day.

2016-08-02T10:55:39+00:00

Good.

jdub1116 · 2016-08-02T12:13:56+00:00

Good.

Wikkiwikki420 · 2016-08-02T17:43:19+00:00

Or maybe..... Keep feminism out of mainstream gaming.

RottonPotatoes · 2016-08-02T04:01:09+00:00

I'm loving the continuing failure of this new Ghostbusters!!

bryanrobh · 2016-08-02T05:27:12+00:00

It's awesome that this shit game based off a shit movie failed. That will ensure they don't ruin another classic

Iohet · 2016-08-02T05:09:20+00:00

The definitive Ghostbusters game was already released and served as a real sequel to complete the trilogy. And it was extremely well received

Strackles · 2016-08-02T06:54:36+00:00

So will feminists be complaining about unrealistic body images in the game now?

sagrr · 2016-08-02T12:23:50+00:00

Is this what this sub is now?

SuperRette · 2016-08-02T06:39:21+00:00

Shitpost.

stachldrat · 2016-08-02T06:58:20+00:00

The game doesn't even feature the movie's all-women cast. It still is shit, though. Arguably worse than the movie.

frisch85 · 2016-08-02T07:05:53+00:00

No wonder i mean it's hard to take over the success of the best ghostbusters game in the world.

Miriandandes · 2016-08-02T03:27:59+00:00

Not surprising, but I am rock hard nontheless.

2016-08-02T11:45:47+00:00

It's cool they can just find some rich guy to fall back on...

hachiko007 · 2016-08-02T02:48:54+00:00

It's funny that if I refuse to hire women or blacks, I have a discrimination issue, but a company that only hires women has no problem. How can a company like this only hire women and not get in trouble?

Maybe next time these idiots can hire people based on accomplishments instead of gender. Probably have a better score than 31 out of 100.

2016-08-02T14:01:50+00:00

How are the mods not filtering this shit out of this sub?

mudcrabperson · 2016-08-02T10:58:00+00:00

WHO THOUGH THAT THIS WHOLE THING ALLGEMEIN WAS A GOOD IDEA JESUS CHRIST

MrMoustachio · 2016-08-02T11:27:59+00:00

I thought this game was Diablo lite, and you could be any character you create? Is that not right?

duckandcover · 2016-08-02T14:28:22+00:00

breitbart. golly, imagine that.

Toriem · 2016-08-02T08:12:38+00:00

600 upvotes from people who just want to ride the "ghostbuter female bad XD" bandwagon . Get a grip faggots .

Madcap20 · 2016-08-02T09:04:43+00:00

Well done u/bigeyedbunny this is the post that made me unsubscribe from this sub.

Been far too many "Haha look at this thing with a woman in it do bad." posts which just come across as sexist. I came here to laugh at ridiculous situations involving a woman getting shut down due to her trying to use her gender as an excuse. Not to laugh at anything bad that involves a girl.

2016-08-02T14:45:50+00:00

This isn't pussypass denied. I'm out, this sub is going down hill.

AthiestLibNinja · 2016-08-02T06:38:38+00:00

Womp womp.
