Corruption in gaming journalism discussion and update thread. - General

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;45922917]i'm so glad the industry i'm trying to get into is a massively corrupt piece of shit in which i will stand no chance for actually having moral fiber here lies my hopes and dreams[/QUOTE] Don't give up. I still believe you can get into this industry by making most awesome games. You don't need to suck hundreds cocks just to release your game to public.

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;45922917]i'm so glad the industry i'm trying to get into is a massively corrupt piece of shit in which i will stand no chance for actually having moral fiber here lies my hopes and dreams[/QUOTE] there is no future in journalism

I find it funny that Quinn is trying to sell her [i]Game[/i] but is making fun of [i]Gamers[/i].

[QUOTE=Xonax;45923196]I find it funny that Quinn is trying to sell her [i]Game[/i] but is making fun of [i]Gamers[/i].[/QUOTE] Ah, but her audience is [i]Gamer+[/i], remember?

[QUOTE=Craigewan;45923232]Ah, but her audience is [i]Gamer+[/i], remember?[/QUOTE] it still means that you play and enjoy games unless gamer+ are just people who never play/enjoy games and just in it to feel "cool" and "progressive"

God, I hope Tim isin't involved in this and is just being an arrogant ass. A part of me would die if he was part og this racketeering shit.

Tim Schafer? Who is that.

[video=youtube;TEYGjFzPuXM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEYGjFzPuXM[/video] They're coming, and fast.

[QUOTE=Xonax;45923397]Tim Schafer? Who is that.[/QUOTE] Developer of (probably) a lot of games you love.

[QUOTE=Xonax;45923397]Tim Schafer? Who is that.[/QUOTE] Creator of Psychonauts and Brütal Legend

I would love to see a gif or video of that scene from the Wolf of wall street, [sp] where the FBI raid and arrest everyone in Stanton oak mount, but with Phil and others photo shopped in [/sp]

I haven't enjoyed any of Tim's games, but that said, his recent displays don't make me want to play Broken Age any less. that game looks cool plenty of talented dudes have shitty opinions. have you ever heard tarantino's fave movie picks?

Tim will have to eat his words when the FBI report begins an investigation, so I'm sure karma will be a pain when he has to do damage control for his own involvement with IF. Still, my heart is broken. Why, Tim?

Agreed. One of my IRL fellow pro-GG feminist friends was a big Schafer fan. She's going to be so depressed when I tell her what happens. I really don't want to, it would break her heart.

[QUOTE=Turnips5;45923970][url]http://i.imgur.com/n9KYbGa.jpg[/url] oh look, robotanna being a massive fucking dildo as usual, except this time to an abuse survivor.[/QUOTE] This is entire thing is stupid. Their point "even if you were abused before you can be abuser now" is valid. The person arguing with them was doing it in a very sensationalist way and appealing to emotions instead of actual arguments. But their assertion that supporting gamergate is supporting harassment is idiotic.

[QUOTE=T-hunter;45923578]Creator of Psychonauts and Brütal Legend[/QUOTE] You're forgetting his involvement in Monkey Island :((((

[QUOTE=bdd458;45924300]You're forgetting his involvement in Monkey Island :(((([/QUOTE] I Never played those games

I don't know if this has been posted but. [url]https://www.jacobinmag.com/2014/09/death-to-the-gamer/[/url] One of my college friends (a female indie game dev) posted this to her Facebook. I'm really tired of condescending SJW language. Been picked on your whole life? Just claim to have the moral high ground and now you've got the perfect weapon to be the bully you've always wanted to be. Going on to assume that all games are male power fantasies and that young, misogynistic and reactionary boys are the only people who play games is pretty insulting. Not only to myself but to women who actually play games as well. I guess if by "becoming more inclusive" they mean expanding the term 'gamer' to include people who don't play games but suddenly have strong opinions on them and people who play them. Input on this article please. And a little background on who wrote it if we have any.

[QUOTE=Eonart;45923277]Depression Quest is a webpage though, it's only for webpagers.[/QUOTE] Oh no and I was going to go into the webpager industry. Is nothing incorruptible?

Tim Schafer may be a gigantic prick, but at least we still have Bra:D Muir [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dKjrydj.jpg[/IMG]
