Hats off to BGG for not entertaining this nonsense, and letting that person go.

Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

MODERATORS
This glosses over how long the issue went on before they fired him. It also doesn't address how many other companies may have been hurt by his nonsense views that couldn't fight back as effectively as Falling Whale could due to size and audience.
BGG still had a lot to answer for.
Hopefully any other previously denied campaigns will now come to light.
Keep in mind their original response was basically a" he's been cautioned that this is not professional" but nothing more. It was only after there was even more outcry that they went back on that.
Where did you see that first reply?
Does that dumbass just pray instead of helping people with mental challenges get actual help?
First time seeing how religion "works"?
Theres no way someone like this works at a company for 20 years and this has never come up before.
Im gonna guess this was the first time it came up publicly so they had to fire him tho.
Lol these are hardly offensive images. https://gametrodon.com/possess-me-satan-banner-ads/
That's what a demon would say
That's it? This is run-of-the-mill game art. I was expecting more blood or gore.
This is a great way to raise publicity about this game.
I'm always entertained by deeply religious people being the only ones affected by demonic possessions.
I've been trying for years .
