I am enjoying this because it never ends. Just when you think some people are done fighting over this, there's some new fuel to add to the fire. It never ends, and I'm genuinely curious just how far down this rabbit hole is gonna wind up going.



Gaming journalism is a joke, this "dev" and Fish are jokes, and 4chan is dumb as hell. But it makes for some great entertainment.:jerky:

Somebody mentioned Phil Fish is in Indie Game the Movie and it wasn't half bad, I bought super meat boy because of it. The Team Meat devs seem totally normal by developer standards. Phil Fish is of course a total prick and it is funny to watch his meltdown, plus the journalists vs actual gamers opinions of Fez come out in the movie and the only thing you hear about Fez is how great it is, laughable. The guy who made Braid is a bit artsy fartsy weird but that's most Goons described right there, he gets upset most people don't 'get' his game and just play it because it's a game. I'm sure he cries into the piles of money he made off of it every night to get to sleep.

That's the best thing I've taken out of this thread.

do you also condemn the Crucification of people like max temkin or that webcomic guy who were also accused of being rapists

because you know

quinn actually has admitted to repeatedly loving her boyfriend without his consent

Who's the webcomic guy? Checking up on this Max Temkin thing, and I dunno. A 10 year old event, only accusing him now? Why not 10 years ago? Why not 9 years ago? Or even 5 years ago? IDGI? It's rather impossible to follow up on it now isn't it? Though from what I can gather Max handled it pretty well. "No, I didn't rape her, and no, I don't really feel like suing her for libel either"

I don't think the Temkin thing is nearly as much of a poo poo show as this Burger and Fries thing. But mostly because I didn't see an 80 page GBS thread on it.

Not sure, some guy who sent dick pics to women he was dating and got exposed. For a while people were acting like he'd been doing it to his colleagues and sexually harassing them. I think he's the one who draws the comic where it's the Justice League characters as little kids.

Who doesn't send dick pics to their SO?

Somehow I don't think being associated with rape will harm the sales of Cards. And since he didn't make a big show of it, and his accuser didn't continue to make a big show out of it, I figure it wont take too long for most people to forget.

Apparently it was not only to his SO. Anyways it raised controversy and thus they are coming to shutdown his Justice Leaguge comic (That they were tolerating so far) since they are afraid of bad pub

True, except she does collect money from her Patreon account ($2361.50 to date) for doing these projects. Plus the game was only released for free to honor Robin Williams... and because it's rating on steam was like 1/10.

I once read an article like years ago on Kotaku written by Kuchera about the hot lead designer of the original assassin's creed. The whole thing was a really embarrasing rant about how she apparently friendzoned/snubbed him, at the end he deplored her lack of respect.

I must have been like ten when i first read it, even then I thought it must was just really disgraceful. Later i found out he was married at the time

even the "progressive" SJ gamer goons are loving retarded shut-ins, just look at the Star Citizen thread in Games for that. When all of someone's life is devoted to an unhealthy addiction to toys, there's a problem.

A lot of the outrage and interest comes from how blatant it is. The 'journalists' openly give Zoe money every month. Lots of them. Which is really hosed up. Sure people can say "oh it's just video games" but no poo poo everything is relative.

4chan gave two thousand dollars to some charity event, where women are invited to pitch ideas for games, and whichever game wins in a vote will be developed with crowdfunding money, while all proceedings will go to charities and something like 8% for the idea ladies. Some people are mad because women aren't paid enough for their ideas. And also there is a very similar event that Zoe is behind. That's what I've heard.
