why are people so obsessed with the people behind video games? play the game, if you like it great, if you don't like it, thats great too. if you dont like the person and what they do? then its up to the people who [i]actually[/i] know them to tell them that what they're doing is wrong, not the creepy redditors.

This is to do with the game journalists, if you were to actually read the topic or watch the video.

You didnt even read or watch anything did you? Be honest.
Because no one gives a fuck about depression quest, this has nothing to do with people hating her game and hating her.
If i wanted to play a game about depression, i'd just play my life
Nobody wants to be depressed, people want to play games for escapism to get away from shit like that.
Thats slightly off-topic though.
[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;45738312]IMO its none of our business who somebody sleeps with and it's a fucking shame that somebody's private life is now a public spectacle through the slim facade of people caring for the integrity of gaming journalism (surprise its a sham who fucking knew.)
None of you are any better than people who slobber up celebrity gossip from the likes of the National Enquirer.[/QUOTE]
It isn't that she slept with 5 guys (and possibly Phil Fish seeing how far he has gone to defend her)
but it is about the fact that she slept with 5 guys for publicity and a job.

this is about people whinging about how shit the video game journalism industry is with zoe as the figurehead for how shit it is. this stuff happens in every industry; and on a larger and more important scale.
The /v/ threads are going fast. It puts sonic to shame
There are apparently 8 guys now. They're calling it Quinn's Hateful 8
Why cant videogame journalism be about videogames?
[QUOTE=Dermock;45738847]Why cant videogame journalism be about videogames?[/QUOTE]
It doesn't sell.
These threads are getting censored really hard on every site I know, even 4chan.
Too bad in regular /v/-rage fashion there are new ones coming out at the speed of light.

5, although people say 8.

I feel like that works a lot better in video form. (one of my favorite channels is Errant Signal, but there are also cool things that were linked further up the thread)
[QUOTE=Dermock;45738847]Why cant videogame journalism be about videogames?[/QUOTE]
Because Video game 'journalists' want to be actual journalists.

/v/ isn't getting censored, it's just the mods are trying to keep it all in one thread but people keep making more and more threads
[QUOTE=Dermock;45738847]Why cant videogame journalism be about videogames?[/QUOTE]
Modern videogame "journalism" is nothing but a bunch of people that think they're pundits wanting to write actual journalism.
Watching this video kinda made me feel sick seeing how someone could almost get away with this in today's world.

What do you mean almost?
She is actively getting away with it.
This is very big news, and there's only 2 sites that have reported it, both have had the article taken down (one forcefully).
How deep does this shit go? How many indie devs are involved in this shit?
NeoGAF, 4chan, SA, reddit are all getting pruned of this shit, she actively has connections with most of these sites too.
Oddly, FP is the only "large" site I've seen that hasn't been censored.

I don't think people are getting suspended for poor ratings, probably more for reviews along the lines of this one

that have nothing to do with the game and aren't a review at all

Yeah, no. Give me some proof other than a screenshot without context posted by an anonymous user on 4chan and maybe then I'll believe ya.
is it bad if I ask for a tl:dr?
all I know is that an indie game maker made a game that wasn't that good and cheated on a lot of people. What happened? Did she sleep with someone higher up in a game journalism circle for a good review / criticism censorship or something terrible along those lines?

Very likely, this is just according to some guy that posted the image.

Unlikely she fucking gabe, but it would be very possible that she is in cahoots with a moderator on steam.

Indie game maker is in bed with Kotaku, Rock paper Shotgun, Reddit, Something Awful, 4chan janitors and more and uses this web of friends/fuckbuddies/etc to delete all bad publicity and -try- to make it so only good publicity shows through.

Watch the video. In the first post.
Not long til she fucks garry and this thread gets wiped :tinfoil:
I just finished watching the video and while agree with the point that it's clearly trying to get across, I didn't like the way he approached this. He arrived to the conclusion of "everyone fucked everybody else" via speculation. If you're gonna make such a claim at least give us SOME sort of evidence, instead of "this person fucked this other person because they met in this one place this one time".

She's already admitted it on her twitter.
This video would have a lot more strength if it didn't keep veering into parroting /v/ shit, like "OH GOD DINA FUCKED HER WAY INTO INAFUNE'S GAME" when the only reason people threw a shit at her was because she was a grill who never played Mega Man.
Or that "this shouldn't be on steam it's not a game" nigga if you don't like the game that's on steam then don't play it.
