Last week, we told you the story of a fan who decided to spend €40 to participate in Nintendo's annual meeting and ask the leaders directly if there was a chance that we would see F- again. Zero one day. If passion can push this type of initiative which can make you smile, unfortunately, other examples show that fans are also capable of losing all sense of reality. This is what happened to one of the developers of God of War Ragnarök who, on Twitter, said he received a dic pick from someone who wanted to know the release date of the game.
Are you fucking kidding me this now???
I cannot believe I even have to say this but don't fucking send dick pics to ANYONE on this team, or anyone in this industry for that matter.
They are busting their ass to make some for you to enjoy.
Show some fucking respect. https://t.co/o0xEZkWouj

"Pro tip: sending me dic picks asking for the release date of God of War Ragnarök will certainly not encourage me to reveal it, explained Estelle Tigani, cinematics producer of the game at Santa Monica Studio. For those who do this sort of thing, when did it work?" A behavior that clearly shocked Cory Barlog, the director of GOD OF WAR. "I didn't think I would ever have to say this, but don't send dick pics to anyone in the team or in the industry, annoys the one who is also the creative director of the studio. They break your ass to make a game so you can have fun. Show respect."
Santa Monica Studio also wanted to firmly reframe the fans who are perpetrators of this kind of action. "Everyone in the studio works to create a game we're proud of, and we hope you enjoy it once it's released. Our fans inspire us, and we fully understand that passion and thirst. information. But precisely, this passion should not be toxic, nor encroach on the dignity of anyone. Let's celebrate our community by treating each of us, both players and developers, with respect."

If some fans have clearly gone into a spin, it's mainly because they couldn't bear that Santa Monica Studio postponed the announcement of the release date of God of War Ragnarök, seeing it as a possible postponement of the game to 2023. .. In fact, about ten days ago, insider The Snitch reported that an announcement about the game was coming June 30th. Also investigating on his side, journalist Jason Schreier confirmed the statements of The Snitch while explaining that the studio had finally decided to backtrack. Hence these stupid actions on the part of some.
