Techland says it is "disturbed" by wording in line of code revealed by Steam forum goers.
The launch of Dead Island did not go as smoothly as hoped. When the game made its way to Steam, it turned out to be an incorrect developer version of the game. It has since been replaced to the proper final version of the game, but one little nasty detail got out.

Hey I'm not picking on anyone, I'm just covering what they said. What I think is more bizarre is if you watch the trailer for Dead Island, it shows (albeit backwards) a little girl being killed and falling out a window, yet apparently that's fine... but a potentially sexist "word" in one line of code in a not-for-public version of a game.... ;-)

So no other developers saw this code? That's one outstandingly modular piece of software!

Sadly, I women (and men, MORE MEN) that would aspire to earning that skill...
It is interesting that today in most socities, a woman who sleeps around is a whore and looked down on, and man who sleeps around is a hero and idolized...

I think you are viewing that from the female side a bit too much...a woman that sleeps around a lot is fun (assuming you are not in a committed relationship), and a man that sleeps around a lot is a cock-blocking bastard.

Tiger Woods is disliked because he cheated on his wife in a very stupid and public way...not because he was sleeping around.
Your average person with an IQ over 80 does not idolize Paris Hilton. Paris is a blight on humanity.
Guys who refer to women as "feminist whores" have issues.
That is all.

They should apologize for the rediculous amount of bugs instead. 2 save games ruined b/c of their horrid coding.
Agree, fix the software then worry about possible perceived insults.
Most guys know better than to refer to any woman like that, however I have heard women refer to them selved and each other like this, which they find acceptable. I even saw one driving a car (USA) with the vanity license plate "SLUT". How's that for advertising.....
