Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread.

So I'm currently going through Intel's women and technology initiatives and they did a few things last year, if I can donate something in light of some people claiming Intel to be sexist for males.
But I noticed that International Day of the Girl is Oct 11th, just pointing that out.
Also would be nice to promote Intel and other companies' women's programs that have stopped their support to bad journalists.
[QUOTE=Reimu;46127803]Some funny things to point out about this:
1.) Gamers actually stopped using gamasutra as a sign of political protest. Whereas, these people are still using Intel products and buying Intel products, despite the fact that Intel "oppose[s] women working in games, women writing about games, women playing games."
2.) I'm pretty confident that none of these antiGGers would last very long if they were asked to boycott Intel. Online activists are notorious for having very low self-discipline, that's one of the reasons why they don't even [i]show up to activist projects in real life[/i]
All talk, no bite. The hypocrisy is going to be hilarious as more companies follow suit.[/QUOTE]
To be honest, it'd be pretty hard to boycott Intel in a visible way. I mean, apart from conspicuously smashing every Intel processor you own and replacing them with AMD parts, it's not going to be obvious enough. Processors aren't the sort of thing you buy every day.
Anyway, if it really came down to it, AMD wouldn't want to alienate their most valuable consumers either. Then those people would be left with their ARM processor phones and tablets. And that's probably where they'll feel most at home anyway. Among the F2P, microtransaction riddled, Top 10, game apps.
it is impossible to boycott intel.
literally anything these days involves intel. Tablets/Phones/Laptops/Computer/etc.

by the way here's jim sterling saying something stupid.

The x86 architecture is made by Intel and licensed to AMD, so no matter what you do you still can't fully boycott them.
It wouldn't even surprise me if they had technologies on ARM devices.
Jim -I'll take the piss out of big game companies, and small terrible indie developers with no voice, but completely steer clear of any difficult topics- Sterling.
I will never be able to take another one of his videos seriously again. For all his apparent bluster and rage the moment a difficult issue comes up he is a meek mouse.
And the Idle Thumbs podcast just got ruined for me.
Thanks Danielle.

Why are people still interviewing this cunt?
All she does is complain about how she's being targeted.
Because she's probably one of the very few that actually are willing to get into a video discussion with the opposition.
Everyone else is cowering into holes most of the time.
So why aren't we seeing a myriad of new actual game journalism site popping up? There are a lot of opportunities right now, devs have shown real support toward unbiased medias and even big company are starting to understand that all this corruption and bigotry can only lead to tarnishing their own names and are willing to act so..

All those consoles are using AMD chipsets.
That's as far as they can go and still be in games, social justice parasites to the console peasantry!
Tumblr is using the Suicide of a Trans Game Dev that happened 12+ hours ago to attack Gamergate
just a fyi.

Iaman was thrown to the hounds for that tweet.
Practically his entire feed is now apologizing.

Figures that the body wasn't even cold yet and they'd ghoulishly try to use it as a prop. That was a sad situation, the dev was actually more active about #ferguson and I never saw any #gamergate tweets in her twitter feed.
(edit) at least he had the decency to apologize.

I'm not hip with the twittering. Is she saying that she's annoyed that she followed someone and a pro gamergate person followed the same person?

All she does is spin any conversation she is apart of.

Remember kids, she [i]is[/i] gaming journalism, and can crush your dreams, unless your dreams are on an intel device.

The problem with this bullcrap is that people say they're getting harassed but don't actually take any screenshots.
You're not making yourself genuine and believable when you speak these sort of words. That is why they say you're lying.
