Kool. That's all I needed to know. Pig stands tall like a grown ass man should so I'm in his corner on this. Can't a have some stupidity on a man's twitter like that when it's all for fun. Bad look on Ed's part but whatever. He needs the press.I think the tag is because they were mentioned in the original tweet.
You are missing the point. "this exhibition" you speak of is just free marketing/hype/advertisement for the people backlashing at pig here. Would you go work at mcdonalds if they didn't pay you AND when you showed up for work everyday the manager gave you the finger?Well, luckily for you and the vast majority of the community who wants to see it, I don't give a fuck about the backlash and will do everything in my power to make this exhibition happen.
I don't care. My job here is to promote the game and make it entertaining for forum posters and viewers in general. I'm not going to boycott NRS because I disagree with Boon's stance on this issue.You are missing the point.

MKX' main playstyle was Rushdown, but other styles were viable as well, I can tell you from experience. On the same token, IJ2's main playstyle is Zoning, while others were viable as well. Just because other playstyles aren't the main ones that doesn't they aren't viable.yes but it only favored rush down style, Inj2 almost every style is viable.
Just because Boon's said that in interviews that doesn't mean he can't troll in order to create hype for the competitive scene. That doesn't contradict what he said in the interviews.Those of you saying Pig is whining or being too sensitive are missing the point.
How many of you liked those comments about missing hype/rivalries but then liked comments about Pig being sensitive or agreeing that Boon is trolling? Smh
I can't possibly think of a time that Boon stuck his nose in matters like this. If anything, remember that interview on Yahoo Esports with Zorine Te interviewing Boon? While it was on the development decisions of Injustice 2, it was also about Boon embracing Esports and engaging/working with the community. Boon's tweet does not present this kind of approach in any way. And if so, why on earth would he troll in such an aspect? It's just a double negative no matter what way you slice it. Boon specifically said that they're going to promote the competitive aspect of Injustice 2 long after its initial release. If that's the case, he should have endorsed Pig's tweet. How on earth could he backpedal and say that competitive discussion is not allowed or would joke about such a thing, it makes no sense.
I for one am with Pig on this matter and conclude that Boon made a big mistake in tweeting that. We as a community want this kind of discussion to happen and to see where it goes, NOT for it to be met with the idea that it's stirring shit up.
I thought to myself the same option more or less, except that Pig was the one who took the wrong impression from Boon's response, but your option could be right too, I suppose.The internet is the internet.... Boom obviously got the wrong impression about what the Poll was for, thinking it was some kind of trolling and nasty behaviour which Pig is, in all fairness, kinda famous for. So he hit back as like many people, fans included, he is probably sick of toxicity in the FGC.
So it was a mistake of tone and intent, which happens now and then on the internet. DEAL WITH IT.
Pig should man up and just brush it off instead of making a federal case out of it. So it was an error by boom, but it is on Pig to be a man and just get on with things. Nor dose it mean as Boom made this one error he is an arsehole or undermining the FGC or trying to control the FGC or anything like that. He was just trying to shut down what he thought was a trollish post.. which you know. IS A GOOD THING... just bad aim in this case : )
Mistakes of Tone and Intent happen every second on the internet and if you want to use the internet then you have to be able to deal with that without having a stamping your left foot style, 13 year old girl, bottom lip biting tantrum.
