Techland Further Embarrasses Itself


Techland creator of the now infamous Dead Island has done it again. In the developer code, which was mistakenly released on steam, featuring all sorts of bugs, dev keys, unfinished animations, has revealed another shocking detail: The skill "Feminist Whore" for the character Purna. Found by a steam user, the skill might be similar to "Gender War" which gives +15% damage against the opposite gender


Needless to say, the steam forums are offering comical views on this development. Deep Silver issued a response to this:

"These unfortunate actions were of one individual at developer company Techland and do not in any way represent the views of publishing company Deep Silver." Further, developer Techland stated: "It obviously violates professional and ethical standards at Techland and should never have happened. We're investigating this right now and we'll issue a statement later. For now, I can only express my sincerest apologies for this incident and assure you that whoever acted so irresponsibly did not represent the views and opinions of Techland. I'm equally sure that aside from the author of that unfortunate line of code, everyone at the office is as disturbed by this as you are."


All I can say is, what is going on at Techland?
