Lords of the Fallen Reddit Drama Unfolds as Devs Start a New Sub to Avoid Political Chatter
[summaraize]
While HexWorks’ Lords of the Fallen has sold well enough for a sequel, and the game is still constantly getting updates, the game’s community should be happy with how things are going, right?
Apparently, that hasn’t been the case lately, and it has all to do with one particular game update that renamed a few things. Last month, the game’s developers posted a question on the game’s now-unofficial subreddit asking whether they preferred that the body types players can create are named “A” and “B” or as “male” or “female.” The players voted overwhelmingly on the latter, which prompted the developers to include this naming change in a patch released in January .
This did not sit well with the current mods of the subreddit, which then stripped the developers of any admin powers.

In response to this, the developers have started their own subreddit, which they call the official The Lords of the Fallen subreddit. CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski announced it over on X/Twitter, where the executive said, “Join our new community-run Reddit page for Lords of the Fallen – the ONLY subreddit we’ll be supporting moving forward! Stay tuned for exclusive updates and enjoy gaming-focused discussions (no politics!) – the way a gaming page should be.”
The first Lords of the Fallen subreddit (unofficial one) had members leave, proclaiming that the mods are power-mad, as they delete threads and ban users that do not align with their views.
While we here at MP1st try to avoid talking about anything political and focus on just the games, that shouldn’t be the case for most gaming communities as well, no? Shouldn’t the discussion be centered around the games themselves instead of any political agenda?
Expect more updates throughout the year, as HexWorks is aiming to release patches until the game reaches version 2.0.
