[QUOTE=Wii60;47069245]Brianna Wu's game is on steam greenlight (i dont think it has been accepted) and shes deleting negative comments reguarding the game on the discussion board.[/QUOTE]
Okay I seriously do NOT see the relevance of this. This is the type of shit I was talking about.
If she wants to release a game unrelated to anything let her, it's not like steam is going to give it special treatment, it's a shitty ios port like [I]many other[/I] games on steam greenlight. Unless you want to explain how this is in anyway special your just baiting people to go comment bad things on it just because she's a liar/disagree's with our ideals. The game has nothing to do with gamergate or even radical feminisim for that matter and is simply a creative work. You can get mad when it's given 10/10's, not now.
If your going there just to comment bad things about it, let people formulate their own goddamn opinions, even if they are stupid.

a game developer censoring negative comments about a game on steam has been the topic for steam greenlight for awhile
game journalists report on that type of stuff all the time, if they don't for her that's more proof of corruption.
its just adding another dev to the list that does it.

Looks like she is trying to do baiting too:

Dunno if it is against steam rules to do this or not.

Of course she is because she knows it'll generate controversy.
It's STILL not relevant because she KNOWS you people would go and comment on it - even if it is relevant, visiting it and/or commenting is just proving her point. This is basically the exact same campaign hatred has - piss as many people off as possible so you can generate sympathy/spite from the opposite spectrum.
P.S what she is doing is against the rules so you can go ahead and report it, don't do anything else.

After getting to a score of 3000 and defeating the same boss, you'll get swarmed and overwhelmed in Lamergate. You'd have to break your spacebar to get past all this crap. The non-glowing fedora donners are moving at bullet-fast speeds.
My worst fear is that kotakuinaction will fall for the bait and brigade it, please don't let that happen guys, downvote any threads you see on KiA so they don't fall into the trap, the name is bad enough.

I'll give a benefit of doubt, she's been probably receiving a mix of bad and good comments. People shouldn't care at all though.

its already deleted because it was filled with positive and neutral "what" comments

It's gone again. I think the general "deleting negative comments" backlash has already started though.

It doesn't excuse her using GG as a scapegoat for anything negative that comes her way.
And we shouldn't enable her by faling for the obvious bait.
[QUOTE=Wii60;47069358]its already deleted because it was filled with positive and neutral "what" comments[/QUOTE]
More like it was against steam community rules outright and she realizes her game would be deleted for it. It was a stupid idea and wouldn't have worked anyways, hence the deletion. Either way, since it now has nothing to do with gamergate again, unless she does something really sketchy and isn't like every other IoS game where they delete comments and such, there's not much to mention, it just attracts attention to the page.

I ended up stumbling upon a Christian game review website called [url=https://www.christcenteredgamer.com/]Christ Centered Gamer[/url], and I find some of the things they have as part of their website rather interesting. They have listed an [url=https://www.christcenteredgamer.com/index.php/ethics]Ethics code[/url] up on the top bar in plain view for all to see. The second thing that I really like is the way the games are reviewed. Take [url=https://www.christcenteredgamer.com/index.php/reviews/pc-mac/5810-huniepop-pc]HuniePop[/url] for example: it has two scores: one for the gameplay, and one for the morality stuff. I think that's something I would like to see in mainstream gaming, if a game is [url=https://www.christcenteredgamer.com/index.php/reviews/pc-mac/5670-south-park-the-stick-of-truth-pc]really solid[/url] but there's issues covered within the game you don't agree with, you know what's coming if you are bothered by it.

Kotaku(?, either them or Polygon) already went on about how that site's approach is actually really terrible etc.
(A lot of #GamerGate users on Twitter explicitly support that site because of its approach.)
Nice, her steam account is friends with IGN staff.

It's pretty cool to see people separate subject matter from their overall enjoyment of it. It's what my ideal review would look like. You can appreciate the artwork of a comic, but not find the writing insightful as Maus or Watchmen. They don't slash away points from the "main" score because it was moral or immoral.
On the one hand, I'd like to see it greenlight so that TB could totally rip it apart in a WTF is, but I also know that TB wouldn't touch this game due to the ethical issues and so don't want it greenlit, because I don't want a terrible game dev and con artist funded and legitimised.
from 8ch:
[quote=OP Gameranx AdSense post-mortem, and a morale boost]This operation was a success. By mass-reporting Gameranx to Google AdSense, we successfully got Google's attention. This forced Gameranx to take down their floating center bottom ad which was breaking AdSense rules. The change has likely caused Gameranx to lose roughly 70% of their ad revenue, considering this ad was by far the most prominent that any visitor would have seen.
You won't see anyone at Gameranx admit to this, but their revenue stream was just utterly obliterated, and it's all thanks to us working together.
I assure you that Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) is salty as FUCK about this. I suspect we may have even traumatized him. He's likely under review by his superiors for personally provoking this devastating change to the site's revenue stream. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses his job soon. He will NOT reveal any of these embarrassing details online; he will keep acting like everything is normal, because he doesn't want us to know we sandblasted his anus into oblivion.[/quote]
I think Revolution 60's Greenlight page is headed in a good direction. People are criticising the game based on the game and [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/386454385/604941528492957272/#p1"]politely dismantling any arguments trying to garner sympathy points[/URL].
(As usual there are some garbage comments with unwarranted personal attacks though.)
One of the commenters raises a good point though: [quote=Amazing Larry]Buyer beware this game was produced by a vanity company owned by a compete nutcase with wealthy parents. It's generated a terrible response everywhere it's been released from everyone but the developer's personal friends. For instance that GotY award was judged by people said developer hangs out and parties with. This PC release/port was only a thin excuse said developer has been using to keep one of the most infamous patreon accounts in existence running.

It's not unlikely that here page is still in existence because she has shown she was technically making a product now.
TB is currently hosting the co-optional podcast featuring Jason Schreier. he's the guy that started controversy with dragon's crown. jesse cox even let it slip and then they started discussing it. tons of back pedaling from schreier, lols are being had by many.

Jason: we all make mistakes and the internet keeps us honest
TB: well they try

Did he apologize for that? I thought it wasn't cool how he dissed George Kamiya and demanded an apology from him. It made him look vain.

I wonder why they don't just conduct an interview on /baphomet/.
I mean it's not that difficult and if they can provide verification without pointing to a specific employee it's fairly safe.

I had a short but pleasant conversation with the dev on Twitter.
Despite his profile picture screaming "indie hipster!", he's probably one of the nicest people I've seen so far on the other "side" (or at least nice enough to appreciate feedback for what it is regardless of who it comes from. I haven't looked farther than necessary to contact him.)
That games unintentional message is don't get involved in any side of gamergate.
If you attack the trolls, big trolls appear, tons of more damaging objects try to hit you, etc.
But if you avoid the trolls and never shoot, nothing bad will come get you and you can just fly about for infinity
So this [url=https://twitter.com/engadget/status/562732278489825280]happened[/url]:
[img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/aolfireseveryone_zpsb05b9b48.png[/img]
So it seems they fired everyone form Joystiq, and are making Engadget cover video games now.
Lol, some people actually think "downvoting" in Steam Greenlight actually does anything. It affects the game in no negative way whatsoever, there is no "downvote", it's more like a "I don't want to see it anymore". So even if you were to gang up and attempt to downvote Wu's rubbish game you'd find your efforts useless.
They tried that with seedscape and it backfired spectacularly
I'm only curious to see if she'll have the balls to play the professional victim in the game description when the game gets on the storefront (it will, like many other shitty ios ports did before)
I know it sounds ridiculous but they always manage to stoop to new lows I never tought possible
What does Joystiq have to do with GamerGate? They closed because AOL was / is in trouble.
