I, a follower here, find myself barred from the Reddit community centered around CI Games‘ title, Lords of the Fallen (r/LordsoftheFallen). The moderators of this forum have decided to take this step due to allegations of a politically driven narrative that I, Marek Tymiński, CEO of CI Games, am said to be pushing.
The moderators voiced their worries in a formal statement entitled “Responding to the Political Agenda of the CI Games’ CEO.
Marek Tymiński, CEO of CI Games, is allegedly advocating for far-right ideologies in a way that appears to be catering to the player base. This conduct, which has occurred over recent weeks, has left our moderation team, as well as many gamers globally, feeling shocked and appalled.
Consequently, the moderation team took action by stripping CI Games and Hexworks representatives of their duties in the subreddit. It’s important to note that this move did not imply any negative judgment towards the individuals affected; instead, it targeted the CEO specifically.
It’s important to note that the people who were removed are esteemed and admirable individuals whom we hold in high regard. Each encounter we’ve shared since the game’s debut has been remarkable, beyond our expectations. Regrettably, this action seems to impact those who don’t deserve it.
In reaction to the ban and the charges brought against him, Tymiński expressed his viewpoint on a certain platform. He swiftly denied the accusations right away.
He commented that the constant use of labeling everyone as a “Nazi” has become tiresome and irrelevant. He emphasized that truth ultimately prevails. Building trust involves being genuine and open, rather than changing stories. His message was clear: “Players First!
He further commented on the moderation actions within the subreddit.
According to the CEO of CI Games, he captured screenshots of all the comments before they began getting removed on that controversial Reddit post about Nazis. Most of the comments were critical of the ban or labeling him a bigot – apparently this outcry prompted them to start deleting. We have it all! The truth ultimately prevails!
This recent event continues a string of moves by Tymiński that have ignited debates among gamers. Earlier, he organized surveys to get players’ views on diverse subjects such as choosing character genders and how main game characters are presented.
According to a survey, 88% of participants showed a preference for the conventional “male/female” character choice instead of the “Body Type A/B” system. Meanwhile, in another poll, 84.4% of respondents indicated they wanted main characters to be either appealing or inspirational.
After conducting these surveys, Tyminski shared that CI Games plans to revise Lords of the Fallen (2023), replacing the “Body Type A/B” system with standard male and female choices, in line with players’ preferences.
Based on more than 49,000 votes cast, an overwhelming 88% of you expressed a preference for the “male/female” character options. As a studio dedicated to our players, we will make necessary adjustments to Lords of the Fallen (2023) and subsequent games in the series to reflect your choice. Stay tuned for updates!

The ban from the subreddit and the subsequent uproar serve as a reflection of the frictions between game creators, online communities, and gamers over the evolving nature of game material and the impact of political beliefs. Tymiński’s dedication to listening to player input and his active involvement in these debates have sparked both praise and dissent within the gaming world.
