Well, that's a shame. Although I can't say I'm entirely surprised that the guy yelling over a crowd turned out to be a bit of a dickhead.
The 15 minutes of fame probably went to his head.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
He didn't do anything in term of creating, or forwarding value. Just pretty much forced their PR to either look bad, or good. Sure, it creates an opportunity for a developer to create a good image for itself, and do good for others. Twitter can easily turn into a shitstorm and it create an uncomfortable 'flashpoint' for the company. He could've taken it to DMs but Twitter is one of those things where people revel in those opportunities to come off like a saint by only tapping their fingers for 180 characters or less, bouncing back the costs to the game developers (who's financial situation I have no idea) at some sort of moral blackmail. Like, last fucking time they ever publicly offer a free game.

Charity is fine, but not if you air it out publicly, and especially not if you're not the one actually doing the charity. He could have personally donated that game to a dying Cyberpunk 2077 fan by talking in DMs.
he morally manipulated them

what the fuck were they going to do, say no?

Never seen it that way, you guys are correct. I'm not sure if he did it maliciously or that it wasn't on purpose though. Either way, he is an idiot for doing both, should've done it privately instead of publicly.

I'm too lazy to watch those 13 minutes can you give us plebs a short rundown of what this conspiracy is about
Other companies are trying to make CD Projekt Red look bad for money and are using gaming journalists and other websites to do so

Hopefully we get to see the E3 press footage during Gamescon.

I can't remember if it is gonna be made public Gamescon or Pax West but either way its only an extra 2 week wait
i think it's defo gonna be pax west, not gamescom
on the subreddit people were saying that they said they were going to release it at pax west a while back, but people were circulating that it was happening at gamescom instead

I've heard from different people and whatnot that it's gonna happen at either or so I wasn't too sure

Either way it'll be out within 2 weeks so /shrug

No gameplay being streamed at Gamescom for us to watch, only behind closed doors again for people at Gamescom. The demo that was shown at E3 and Gamescom this year will be streamed on either the 30th of August or 1st or 2nd of September at PAX West.
