Well, this used to be a community that stuck together and it's affirming to hear stories from everyone lifting each other up. As the old times slip away from us, while the game gets inundated with cheating, shitty players, and 14 year old memelords, we'll see that tight community hang on for dear life until it turns full scale into anime horny shipping ms paint porn and a shitty global player base garbage dump.

Forgive us for trying to avoid that as long as we can.

We will prevail.

You complained about this a year ago too, and we actually did lower the frequency of those voice lines as a result. Some were also removed.

However, I feel like your perspective is rather narrow on this. Yes, there are a few references to memes, but even more so to movies and other pop culture references that are a great big part of the era and background that's inspired a lot of the feel of Deep Rock Galactic.

I would like to absolutely debunk any impression that we're targeting the 14-year-old Fortnite crowd. That you feel they're out of place with the game's theme is weird, because there have been farts and burps from the beginning. It's never been meant to be a grimdark universe - you can get that with Warhammer. Deep Rock Galactic is born from a love of core co-op mechanics and a bunch of classic sci-fi movies, and the humor space will reflect that in many ways, without necessarily being locked into that era specifically.

If it's any consolation, more or less all song covers or creative videos make the rounds at the office and cause great joy and pride. :)
