ok cool now ban basically everyone still congregating in the comments section on the game page (which is still up) to still act like bigots!
seriously! you have cultivated a bad userbase and they are going to relentlessly embarrass you like this unless you shut them out! Get rid of them!

sorry to continue engaging in drama on your skyline like this but like if RA moderation thinks just shitcanning the one game is sufficient to make this blow over then they are extremely wrong.
Tons of high ranking players, devs and management showed and are continuing to show their asses. Purge!
the root issue of this whole debacle is not the specific game or even its content, it's that RA has, over several years, displayed inaction when it comes to actually moderating the behaviour of its users, thus you end up with the types of people who would willingly platform a hack of that nature.
Uh I played gen 2 and I sure don't remember that being in the base game
Openly using the term sperging in the same sentence as the r-word. Just not even trying to disguise it. Incredible shit lol
Oh is collective shout the new sweet baby inc.
This one is as funny as the post of the overweight screaming lady cause both instances are of a conservative getting upset over something.
The fact it was able to stay up there for so long as one of the most requested games is definitely telling isn't it
They have the opportunity to turn this into a giant honey pot and get rid of so many creeps and bigots
they do although part of the "issue" is that this would entail banning a lot of the higher ranking users and probably several members of management
like don't get me wrong this is obviously the correct thing to do it's just not easy to immediately convince people like this they should
There's a lot high ranking members that are like this? Yikes, yikes, yikes. It really does show that if you start any kind of community, you have to be willing to kick people like this out on day one.
a pretty considerable number of the people advocating for the romhack have high leaderboard placements and have been on the site for a while, yeah. pretty objectively a fair few of the power users are unfortunately like that
God I can smell the fucking stink of those comments through my phone.
