Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=uber.;46414626] Can someone explain that to me please?[/QUOTE]no. i dont think thats possible

20 minutes ago saw those posts. Made this. I'm sure you realize what i was feeling. Pushing this to /gg/ and KiA with the title about how he's offering refunds for overgrowth momentarily. Downvote it there if you think it's unwarranted, upvote it there if you would like to see this elsewhere. [img]http://i.imgur.com/M9i5onT.png[/img]

If he's offering the choice then do it. If anything it'll be useful in getting metrics about people putting (or not) where their mouth is. Just make sure you have a clear head when deciding.

Wait, I have an idea, what if , when we ask for a refund from Wolfire, we don't just take the money, but donate it to a charity?

Missed this one. Lol. [img]http://i.imgur.com/zOB9cDC.png[/img] This just in: Wolfire dev uses the "N-word" when conversing with followers, what a racist!

Then he throws it out the window, and goes inside an echo chamber. I still hope he can be made to see reason, maybe get him on a stream or something and talk to him there.

Twitter is just the worst platform ever to have any kind of debate. Nothing good will ever come out of it. It's actually the reason why so many people use it that way in my opinion, you can't make a decent arguement with 140 letters so nobody can prove you wrong.

i remember i boguht a humble bundle containing lugaru and sent 70% to wolfire and 30% to charity wish i didn't :/

Guys, I thought we were over this a long time ago: you gave people money for something they actually produced and you, apparently, liked it enough. It doesn't matter if their personality is shit (or rather, turned out to be shit). But nonetheless I'm glad I'm not really into indie genres. Mainly because I believe it's far too easy to get scammed, but this now too. It just so happens to become apparent that not all Indie studies are actually as [i]Indie[/i] as they claim.

Especially considering that overgrowth is not out yet so I didn't really make use of my investment yet.

That said , I won't demand a refund ASAP, I still believe David can be made to see reason. However if he can't, and offers refunds, then hell yeah I will take it, and put my money somewhere better. Like it or not, Videogames is a buisness too, and in buisness, you vote with your money.

[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;46413663]I have no idea how I got on the list but neat[/QUOTE] [CODE]my @idiots = ( "CHSommers", "AdamBaldwin", "Nero", "FartToContinue", "PlayDangerously", "roguestargamez" );[/CODE] If you follow even one of these people, you're on the list. That is literally all it takes.

[QUOTE=croguy;46413446]Wait, how does an investigation process on such a potentially high level treat suspects in the US? In here all organized crime suspects are immediately taken into isolated holding cells, so if, for example, Gawker was a local tabloid, USKOK would arrest Denton and other suspected associates once they got a good lead and began collecting evidence. Kind of strange that the FBI would let them operate actively, though there's probably a legal thing about that somewhere.[/QUOTE] To be fair, USKOK compiles evidences for many months before putting a green light on arrest. FBI is likely doing the same.

Hahaha, Im on that twitter list and I have maybe <20 tweets total. Lists like that just help the echo chambers.

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;46416350] Daily reminder. Look at all that harassment guys![/QUOTE] Daily reminder that shoving women up front and pointing at them, exclaiming "LOOK AT THIS VICTIM OF HARASSMENT!" to try and manipulate general opinion is sexist. It is the definition of human shield. This is why #NotYourShield is great. Yeah folks, we're dealing with misogynists, sexists and their projections.

Glancing back through the thread, its funny seeing stuff like this: [QUOTE=NoDachiUK;45854960]And in a week mosts of you would have gotten bored, and have only made the rest of the community look even more like a delusional cesspit.[/QUOTE] Over two months later, and we're going stronger than ever.

I feel bad for all the Firefly fans that are now blocked who have no involvement in this. Block lists are terrible in general.

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;46416350][t]http://i.imgur.com/q9C7vTX.png[/t][/QUOTE] I dunno, maybe because Grayson and Tolito are ignoring not only the harassers, but gamergate as a whole, while Quinn and Alexander won't stop tweeting about it? Maybe that has something to do with it?
