[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46677753]Also considering there's no credible source whatsoever on Sarkeesian consulting for DICE, I hope people tossing around that useless petition stops.[/QUOTE]
I have literally never found a source for her working with DICE. The most I've found it she did a presentation at the DICE conference some years ago, which has nothing to do with DICE the company. Unless 27X has some insider info to correct this kind thing, I think people have taken it out of context and blown it out of proportion.
Guess the only way to know is when it comes out to see if the controls really are dumbed down

They think they're fighting back and proving a point, but all they're doing is publicly humiliating themselves. It's hilarious.
Al Jazeera is going to talk about GamerGate...no mention of ethics whatsoever :v:

When the fuck does this even happen in games?
The only possible instance I can think of is MGS4 but that is really stretching it
I can't even remember the last game I played that had female enemies
If this guy is supposedly going to talk to both sides as that blurb says, how come we never heard anything about it until now? Surely someone pro-gg would have mentioned being interviewed for Al Jazeera by now. Unless this some super-secret-squirrel thing where they're pretending to go all "listen and believe" on the audience and blindside them with ethics, but I doubt that.
lol that picture perfectly encapsulates the anti-gg audience

Of course he's not going to talk to anyone from gamergate, if he was trying to be remotely neutral he wouldn't have presented that load of bullshit in the first two sentences like it was factual rather than an opinion

Its really pathetic that it has to be said again for people to understand...
So the Code Here campaign had 7 hours left and needed $2500 to finish.
Someone just donated $2500. Not sure whats going on.

Code Here sounds like an interesting concept. Hope to see it be successful.

well it is good that they tried making it better but they still show that they're totally missing the point of gamergate

Of all the games, why one that is trying to be historically accurate.
And what does it have to do with Gamersgate?!

They used that image in Business Week too so that is probably why.
I never understood why they get a specific image of a women being attacked in a game and use that as evidence of sexism without asking for context or whether you can do it to men in the game.
But then again research is too hard, listen and believe instead.
Lets all take a moment and laugh at all the cocks who thought GG was gonna die a week after the Zoe post.

Or when they thought...
Destiny would kill GG
Smash Bros would kill GG
VGAs would kill GG
[Insert anything here] would kill GG

It'll be even funnier at "#Stopgamergate2014"'s future failure at the end of this month.

Wishful thinking feels like a solution when you've completely lost the grip to reality
Gamergate is the reality check
[QUOTE=Quq;46680572]it's basically been dead for a long time[/QUOTE]
Here's the perfect example
Its more about the methodology than the message ,if you have to smear an identity many people take up and shit all over the industry and police everyone in that industry.
How sound is the message?
[QUOTE=Xubs;46680692]You know, I wouldn't be mad at SJWs if they simply expressed their desire for games to be different by [I]making their own games.[/I] I cannot fault a single person in the world who disagrees with an art form's current popular expression by making their own material to counter it. It's how art works.
Video games are an art form, and like art, it works in movements. If they want video games to have more women in them, [U]make your own video games with women in them.[/U] If the games are successful and good, more games like it will follow. Guarantee it.
This applies to literally any complaining done by moral guardians, too. Don't like violence in movies? Make movies without violence. Don't like the sexually explicit nature of music? Make music without sexually explicit lyrics.
I know it's not easy, but it can be done. Complaining and saying political or social pressure must be enacted to drive change is the stifling of one of the most important tenets of a healthy society: free artistic expression.[/QUOTE]
The most fucked up thing is the fact that this was exactly what Brianna Wu was originally doing. She was actually making her own goddamn game, and then she decided to throw herself into the GamerGate situation for no (real) reason. Hell, Zoe Quinn did her part, too. She made her own game. Sure, it wasn't exactly good, or popular, but hey, at least they both actually did something productive at one point in time. Now they're wasting everyone's time with this bullshit. It's saddening.
