[QUOTE=TheJoey;45921282]real lawyers. this has all been investigated thoroughly, lawyers contacted, which led to the report filed with the fbi, all even before the video was made and bombshell dropped.[/QUOTE] holy shit well, I'll be observing what happens next for sure

[QUOTE=TheJoey;45921282]real lawyers. this has all been investigated thoroughly, lawyers contacted, which led to the report filed with the fbi, all even before the video was made and bombshell dropped.[/QUOTE] Considering what has been revealed about Polytron and Fez, they have indeed committed felonies. There's a very good chance that many of these people will appear in court in the next odd-years.

reimu: can I just say, I was on SRSGaming for about 2 years (recently I'd just been browsing as it got worse and worse) and I'm now 100% dead sure we don't need these lunatics to make gaming a more enjoyable hobby for minorities and women. we can do it.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;45920436]Is it worth the shadow ban [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4237780/sa/emot-ohdear.png[/IMG]?[/QUOTE] If upvoting something gets me a shadowban then frankly it's worth it and I don't want to have a Reddit account anymore. I upvoted. Nothing of value was lost.

[QUOTE=Zet;45921481]I don't know why either, but it's not a good excuse to not watch the video.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the video is definitely worth watching, I meant is giving close-minded people an excuse to click away after a few seconds worth it for a petty jab at Zoe's promiscuity? There's no reason to have that right at the beginning of the video, Tim apparently started watching it which would have been great had he not been handed that excuse to be offended right off the bat.

[QUOTE=Thlis;45921443]That's kind of pathetic. I can only imagine how fans of him must feel[/QUOTE] I feel like I've lost a hero. Seriously, he was one of the few devs out there I really looked up to.

Being a journalist, shouldn't she have done that thing called research? But then again she isn't the first one to not do research.

Woah woah woah, hold the phone guys. Slow down, okay so I just woke up to see 10 new pages, I read a bit and I heard some stuff about shit going down due to this livestream and that people might get arrested and the FBI is investigating, mind giving me a detailed explanation of whats going on?

Oh shit son we are getting Ouya into this. WAIT WHAT? Ouya? How far does this shit go?

[img]http://i.imgur.com/0SHBojc.jpg[/img] reminder that kotick already warned us.

With everything about Tim Schafer and the IGF, this post I made earlier is more real than I honestly expected it to become. [QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;45919733]I still have to say that the Metal Gear series is the most appropriate analog for this whole situation. This is a brutal, ugly thing no one wanted and everyone would be glad if it could have been avoided and shouldn't have been necessary to begin with. The manipulation and corruption and disinformation. [B]I think by the end of this we'll all have lost at least a few heroes.[/B] I mean hell, if you just consider the flow of events it has been a roller coaster like the Metal Gear series.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=TheJoey;45921943][img]http://i.imgur.com/kjyzUwd.png[/img] so sad...[/QUOTE] Really feeling for him here, he's just trying to talk with him and not be antagonistic, yet he gets blown back because Tim's on the defensive. He's right too, Tim's not a bad guy for his involvement in this and he's probably just getting too swept up in all of it to sit down rationally. He's being arrogant, but he's not evil.
