Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory Barlog has to Twitter to make a plea to the gaming community to start treating game developers better.<\/p>\n

Sony was heavily speculated to have been announcing a release date for God of War Ragnar\u00f6k today \u2013 this ultimately didn’t happen, leading some of the game’s developers to reportedly receive abuse from people online.<\/p>\n

One female developer tweeted<\/a> that some users had been sending her unsolicited, explicit images and asking her for the game’s release date, to which Barlog replied: \u201cAre you fucking kidding me with this now?\u201d<\/p>\n

Demanding that nobody should send explicit images to anyone in the industry, he added<\/a>: \u201cThey are busting their ass to make some[thing] for you to enjoy. Show some fucking respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later, after retweeting the news that Return to Monkey Island director Ron Gilbert will no longer be posting about the game because of online abuse, Barlog again expressed his wish for the community to behave more respectfully.<\/p>\n

Replying to a follower who said they blamed the journalists and insiders who had claimed the date would reveal would be today, Barlog replied: \u201cDon’t. The answer is not to find someone to blame or focus hate on.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe just pay it forward and treat the people that make the things we love with some human decency and respect. This is not a battle, we are not at war. We are just trying to make and enjoy things together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barlog’s tweet was commended by head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, who replied: \u201cSo well said Cory. Can’t wait to enjoy GoW when it comes out. And thanks to you and the team for the amazing work that goes into creating things we love. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sony was reportedly due to reveal God of War Ragnar\u00f6k special editions today before a last-minute change of plan, it’s been claimed.<\/p>\n

Special editions of the game and its release date were due to be announced in a PlayStation Blog post with an accompanying trailer, according to writer Tom Henderson, reporting for eXputer.<\/p>\n

It’s believed the blog post would also have provided assurances that development was progressing well, and the promise of a gameplay reveal at a future date.<\/p>\n

Barlog asked fans on Wednesday to \u201cplease be patient\u201d as they await news on the game’s release date.<\/p>\n
