TELLTALE USES IMAGE OF ASSASSINATED RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR IN THEIR BATMAN "GAME"
I looked through the catalog and GG thread and didn't see anything about this archive.is/ly5Nj - Brote's tweet archive.is/8RzGu - Kotaku article archive.is/6rK7E - Eurogamer article Brote found this and it has spread like wildfire. Apparently Telltale in their infinite wisdom of well thought out design choices used the image of the assassinated Russian ambassador who was bumped off by that turkroach for a screen in their Batman series.
Did they just look up "Dead guy in suit" and not even consider where the original picture even came from?
Asher Allen
If it's intentional it's pretty damn ballsy. If not it's pretty damn gay.
Eli Peterson
That's what some of the people replying to the tweet are saying and if that is true, that is laughably incompetent.
Jace Garcia
Heh
Lucas Smith
Holy fuck I wasn't far off.
David Morgan
NICE!

I wonder who's getting that axe over at their design department

What's the story of this "game" anyways? I recall Holla Forums was pissed about it.
Jack Stewart
I only watched one stream about it and vaguely remember Batman being able to outright murder people while the story is more of a grimdark "2deep4u" type.
James Price
But why
Jordan Turner
I'm sick of The Walking Dead too.
Liam Wood
I wonder how /bane/ would feel about this if they were still alive
Jeremiah Price
Nah, it's Arkham game-tier when it comes to edgyness, and for some reason the Penguin is a chav, and the main villain is some Telltale OC donut steel. That's about what I remember.
Grayson Miller
Do they not understand the Penguin?
John Harris
You didnt look hard enough

You dont want know, at least they kept the trump thing to a minimum.

They would still be alive if they hadn't latched onto politics for a line that isn't even from the plane scene.
Henry Smith
First time im hearing about this shit, what happen.

How do you manage to fuck up this badly? Someone on the dev team must hate the job and the company, that's the only explanation besides the fact leftists are mentally challenged.
Joshua Bennett
How does a company fuck up success this badly?
Julian Cooper
There have been an increase posting of Holla Forums shitty meme trying to latch on baneposting and corrupting the Magnus opera of Nolan with politics….forcing plane scenes phrases with Jew and niggers and other shit….killed the board
Colton Turner
Is this LOL?
Thomas Reyes
They must be trying to find a way to deny it without looking stupid. If they admit to it Telltale will look at best lazy.
Owen Young
Makes sense tbh
Gavin Walker
...
Henry Robinson
They can always blame Trump. Isn't that what the left does whenever they are caught fucking up?
Angel Brown
I didn't even like Walking Dead, I don't know why anyone gave them the time of day to begin with. I read the comics, they were good. The show turned shit halfway through the first season. I took one look at the game and said "where the fuck is the gameplay?"
Justin Perry
Trump, during his inauguration speech, said, among a shitload of other things, "back to you, the people". A thing that is in no way surprising in a politician's mouth. But it happened to partially match a sentence Bane says in one moment of the post-credits scene. Hundreds of hotheads creamed themselves over this. Baneposting was never quite the same after this.
Christopher Powell
probably will have a manager go down the line firing everyone who made it happen, claim rogue elements in the team and wash your hands of responsibility even though you probably saw that and were like "yea whatever, put it in"
is there a the day you go without shoving politics down everyone's throat? no wonder you're banned from family dinners
Andrew Thomas
BEST TIMELINE
Tyler Ramirez
So did the comics, and so did the "game" after the first season was over.
Stop projecting user, it's not healthy.
John Powell
That shit was pretty funny though, I mean "big guy" is said a lot too but thanks to nolans masterpiece that shit gets instantly memed as well. No idea how that would kill a board

You are trying too hard, people latched onto it for two weeks at most. So yes, the fact that you are acting like Trump ruined baneposting makes it very obvious that you're only saying it to have an excuse to talk about politics.

Kevin Ross
What's their answer?
What would possibly be their excuse for this lazy (fuck designing, i'll just Google "dead guy in suit" and disgusting behavior (disrespect to a real person who was killed).
Imagine if slavs put an image of dead JFK in their games.
Blake Roberts
Nice
Isaiah Peterson
This is how retarded you actually are. This is what you actually believe.
Zachary Morgan
Aunt Cass is inordinately fuckable.

Do they even make controversial games? The only thing I can think of is Hatred but that was intentionally trying to bait media outlets for the sake of free advertising
Embed related is a pretty neat non-vidya example, where a Latvian mobile provider created an international hoax to advertise their new mobile plan
Oliver Price

Luke Phillips
Nothing has come out from their twitter or anything. So far atleast 3 articles have been written and they have been contacted, but they haven't said anything yet. They can't just ignore this because it's already breaking copyright laws.

Why would you even do this? God damn.

It was only controversial because they were the ones making it, meaning that IS Defense itself wasn't the controversial thing, the devs were.

I've never played one of their games, can someone please explain how they're leftist like everyone is claiming in the thread?

There is one faggot calling them leftist, the other user is speculating on the reasons why they would do something weird like this.
Jayden Martin
They made Harely Quinn the main villain for Batman in the new season instead of Joker. Walking Dead stars a unicorn nigger with a degree and a mystery meat loli. They're full on pozz.
Cameron Edwards
Just wanted to say, props to that Turkroach who murdered the Russian Ambassador. Not trying to be edgy or anything like that, but most lone wolf assassins look like scraggly, unkempt, stoners. This guy managed to take out the Ruskie and look suave as fuck while doing it like some kind of James Bond movie. The dude held that fucking pistol out and didn't even once lose his composure. I know its old news now but just wanted to say that
Lincoln Reyes
The thread has very little mention of leftism, the majority of it is an attempt at derailment and only two or three other posts mention leftism in relation to OP's post.

Jonathan Thompson

Michael Bell
I think that guy was attempting a sarcastic moral highground position knowing it had zero legs in order to highlight what a scumbag the photoshop user guy is presenting that pic as his work. The sandwich theft analogy obviously leaves the glaring wrong done to the other party via the theft and this fella appears to giving the PS guy more rope to hang from.
Although, If not he's a rancid stain who would find his fingers broken if he worked anywhere near me.
Ryan Watson
He's getting slammed by Matthieu Evelyn Yanasheq (Pole for sure, he spelled Janaszek with north americanian phonemes so ya merry cans can read it), Szymon Biernacki and Przemek Kotyński though.
Landon Martinez
They could have just gotten a guy to lay down and took a pic, instead this.
What's more galling than the theft with pics like that is that they're as lazy as fuck, they could have moved her remaining fingers to better positions but they just hack jobbed the last two off, Liquify/Puckered her face a little, did some paltry brush work for the eyes ear and gills, whacked on a filter and some lens flare and recompressed it a few times to blur it up.
Samuel Perry
Is telltale, dare i say it, /ourguys/??
Brayden Nguyen
They could also have pixelated parts of it or censored the face with a black bar to make it less obvious where it is from, it would also fit the theme of it being a fucking crime scene.
Nathan Jackson
My god. The photos look like a screengrab from one of those good modern interpretations of a Shakespeare play, like the Hamlet one that came out in the late 90s that didn't skip a line and had some really good cinematography.

Levi Harris
He's supposed to be a fat Jew in a tux and monacle. What the fuck.
Andrew Perry
It's bad because it is lazy, since all they did was look up "dead guy in a suit" on Google. Also tangentially related shitposting.
Although it is POSSIBLE that they did it for the sake of shitposting, it is unlikely that they did
Joseph Garcia
Well on one hand, it's incredibly unprofessional to just use an image of something without getting permission to use it.
But the kicker here is that they ended up using a photo of an actual corpse, one related to a politically charged incident you possibly have autism if you don't see how bad that looks.
Gavin Sanders
Technically bad. Good in that it's hilarious though.
