CI Games CEO Sparks Controversy with New Player-Exclusive Lords of the Fallen Subreddit

In light of recent debates, the head of CI Games, Marek Tymiński, has unveiled a new subreddit, r/TheLordsOfTheFallen, specifically designed for enthusiasts of the game The Lords of the Fallen. This announcement was made by the CEO on X.

He suggested, “Let’s connect on our brand-new Reddit gathering place dedicated to the game Lords of the Fallen. This is the SINGLE subreddit we’ll be actively involved with in the future! Keep an eye out for unique announcements and engage in gaming-centric conversations (no politics!) – just how a gaming community should operate.

Jump into our brand-new, community-managed Reddit group dedicated to Lords of the Fallen! This is where you’ll find all future support from us. Keep an eye out for unique announcements and engage in gaming-oriented conversations, free from political debates – just what a gaming-focused platform should offer!

This action follows the banishment of Tymiński and the team at CI Games from the original subreddit, r/LordsoftheFallen. Here, moderators alleged that Tymiński was pushing a “partisan political viewpoint.

In their announcement, the moderators expressed their concerns, stating:

Marek Tymiński, CEO of CI Games, is publicly endorsing and popularizing ideologies that resemble fascism, disguised as an effort to meet player preferences. As a moderation team, along with countless gamers globally, we are profoundly appalled and dismayed by the recent turn of events.

In response, Tymiński addressed the allegations on X.

He remarked, “It’s tired and outdated to constantly compare everyone to Nazis.” Instead, he emphasized, “Honesty ultimately prevails.” Building trust involves being genuine and open, not by changing stories. His message was clear: “Players First!

It’s becoming quite tiresome and irrelevant to constantly label everyone as Nazis. In the grand scheme of things, honesty ultimately triumphs. Building trust involves being genuine and open, rather than manipulating stories. Let’s prioritize people first, just like in a game! 🎮

The freshly created subreddit has sparked excitement within our community. Numerous users, even some who were formerly prohibited from the initial subreddit, have voiced their approval and gratitude. User Caveman1982 specifically showed support for this development.

I’ve likely heard this expression a million times before, but I want to express my sincere gratitude for launching this new subreddit. I was excluded from the other forum for expressing an opinion about its condition and what the majority of the community desires. So yes, this is just a message to say thank you to all of you!

Wow Thank you!

This progression reflects Tymiński’s persistent dedication to a player-centric strategy. Previously, he interacted with the gaming community by conducting polls to collect player views on diverse subjects. In one such survey, an astonishing 88% of participants expressed a preference for the conventional “male/female” character selection rather than the “Body Type A/B” system.

After considering the feedback received, Tyminski declared that CI Games will revise Lords of the Fallen (2023), aiming to swap out the “Body Type A/B” system for the conventional male and female choices, ensuring a more preferred selection by players.

Creating a dedicated subreddit for “Lords of the Fallen” game, CI Games intends to cultivate an interactive gaming community that steers clear of political debates. This move demonstrates their commitment to offering a platform where players can communicate directly with developers and share insights, prioritizing openness and active player involvement.
