None of the harassment against him is actually happening, he lied to Buzzfeed to troll them and keep the sham going, and they fell for it completely. And now it's being reprinted blindly.
This is great. AntiGG is being baited into crowing about more harassment that GG isn't actually committing and the media is reprinting without verifying.
Why is his character Jace being called a "Gamergate figurehead" lmao
Also good work re-printing his ruse PCGamesN

I don't know about you guys but I didn't care much about that a while back because it seemed like bullshit and well now it has been confirmed that it was indeed bullshit so whatever I guess.
Also figurehead is by my definition not true, but I can't really blame Jeremy for that since GG is a mess anyway.

Both Jan and MDE are fucking god tier. This is just too amazing for words.
did anyone really think he wasnt satirical, really?
Poe's Law in action.
[QUOTE=Naught;47202986]did anyone really think he wasnt satirical, really?[/QUOTE]
He kept it going for like 3 years with no spill ups, without losing character and providing all the evidence of his identity possible to the point that no one was able to work out that he was just trolling despite people putting all his content under intense scrutiny.
What the fuck is even going on with all this GamerGate crap anymore?
how do you see that video and not think its satire
[QUOTE=Shortyish;47203084]how do you see that video and not think its satire[/QUOTE]
It's been going on for 2 years with high consistency in content.

As far as I can understand it is about ethics in game journalism right? So seriously why is nothing related to ethics in actual journalism becoming so convoluted, difficult to understand and an unmanageable mess to begin with? Is it simply both parties have way too much free time on their hands to know what to do with?

Because as you have the perfect example here, a journalist gets trolled hard and all the others blindly follow suit.
Nobody even knew this guy a month ago, you got journalists calling him a "figurehead" for being a mentally unstable guy that crashed his car and now they are falling for his trolling AGAIN.
It's almost as if the "third party trolls making a mess of everything" wasn't just some bullshit we made up, and yet they get all the coverage because these "journalists" are a fucking joke

As if the opposition is any better. Frankly I'd NEVER direct any kind of attention to professional victims.

So you're a fan of a developer that is inefficient with money and time? Why not be a fan of Peter Molyneux or Tim Schafer? At least they're not publishing blatant iOS ports of their games to Steam.
[sp]Godus has more effort put into the PC version than this Revolution 60 garbage[/sp]
I've said It several times before, can we get some new material In the news node section already. Shacknews and PcgamesN push the same biased crap constantly, I'm not saying get rid of them, just bring In some freshmeat.
this is beautiful

You also underestimate how annoying being collectively lied about is
Fuck, I'd better stop myself before I start snappily replying to every comment. If you wanna see why GG hasn't just petered out just come to the Corruption in gaming journalism thread, I guess.
