And of course, they've not said a word against any of that. I could at least give them the slightest hint of the benefit of the doubt if they were trying to clean up their or their community's act.

But nah, they just seem to be riding this one out.

Well, some time has passed, and now the Steam forum for Peripeteia is filling up with channers calling the devs 'based' for standing up to... trans people.

The 'I wasn't going to buy this game until I heard the devs were bigots' crew.

Yeah, they've earned themselves that audience for sure now.

I will also admit that I'm so wrapped up in actually playing and looking at games that I often don't look too deeply at who's making them. Maybe a flaw, but it keeps me sane. I don't dig into community discords, and tend to avoid fandom drama.

Let's be real, a lot of it is just complete bullshit.

I've had a couple industry people message me saying stuff like 'Oh, you didn't know about the Peripeteia devs?'.

People assume that because I'm a broadly progressive voice that talks about videogames that I'm part of all the industry whisper networks.

No, people don't tell me shit.

It's funny/sad that there's about a 50/50 split on responses to this mess. Half are 'What the hell, I just assumed Peripeteia was by trans lesbians' and the other half are 'I knew it, the game was made by chan edgelords'.

And the game gives off both signals which, honestly, implies the former to me

Also for a little broader context, Peripeteia is by a three-person team. Two which have been involved from the start (Ouroborous/Snaketicus is the one in the screenshots), and one who joined later to help with engine coding.

One huge asshole in a team that small is enough for me to tap out.

Also adding a mention that the Webfishing 'controversy' that's being mentioned here is that the Webfishing devs were doxxed and pulled their discord.

ok but technically stuff like synthv is genai so even though thats ethical, if a game used a song that had synthv vocals, they would have to disclose genai
