Very special viper mk 3. Denied and deleted

[Netston]

"Uh oh, we are above politics, but we delete content from your hangar, here is your arx"
When you return this skin? It will be rather good to do, and add Ukrainian flag skin.
Denying doesn't work as you thought, "deleting moves" only generate disrespect and split community

Their game, their rules. You can argue the toss about whether it's political but ultimately the decision is FDevs alone.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

They removed the Russian skin from people's accounts?

Can't say i'm happy with that. Block the sale of it if they want, but i don't want ARX in return, i'd like to keep the skin, even if I'm not happy with the country's politics.

 

[Shear]

I support Frontier wholeheartedly for deleting that.

 

[Commander Biscuit]

I don't support sanctioning individuals for the actions of governments. If this were the norm, how would Americans be treated online? Not cool.

 

[Matt_BLJH]

This is not about individuals, this is about Frontier and what they want in their game. They have decided that they don't want the Russian flag used as a decoration in their game. Personally I am happy if they want to make a small statement via the medium they have.

 

[Florenus]

I've said it before - all those RL flag skins were poor idea from the start. Frontier was asking for exactly this scenario they must deal with now.

 

[Commander Biscuit]

This is not about individuals, this is about Frontier and what they want in their game.

Frontier not caring about individuals and doing as they please has never served them well.

That's how sanctions work. The idea is that if you don't like it, do something to bring back your country back to civilized society.

For every individual who dislikes what they have done, there will be at least one who thinks they have done the right thing. This is a case where Frontier cannot please every individual, so they need to act according to their own conscience and beliefs.

If corporations can have such things, I suppose the American flag will be next.

 

[Matt_BLJH]

Maybe, perhaps they support Scottish Independence and the Union Flag will be removed (if it's in there). As I said I absolutely support their right to make such a decision. I will make my choice whether that affects my decision to buy their products.

 

[thistle]

Oh no.

Never mind.

There isn't a Scottish flag skin btw. Grinds my gears.

Not really, I don't care.

The missing DBS cockpit, that genuinely grinds my gears.

You want to know the true answer to that one? At least over here.

So removing a skin from my collection somehow brings the UK back to civilized society?

Got it!

Wow, a stylized flag cosmetic in a video game is doing some real heavy lifting there!

 

[WR3ND]

Good to see Frontier have nothing better to do...
Have fun while it's still allowed.

Closed - as the thread has devolved into political discussion.
