yeah. but even that doesn't matter much, it's not like steam has a good games only requirement. there's plenty of poo poo so it'll fit in well.

But does that poo poo get awarded for being "Brilliant works of genius" by various media outlets, even if it's clickbait garbage?

I think not! Now where is my Kotaku review of that one game where it's a really bad buggy first person shooter and the ending is "You hosed your sister" and see a gigantic anime wallscroll? Haha

Edit: Seriously, I wanna see people defend that. If Zoe made that, would people rate it good?

Edit two: The name of that game is Only If.

You want a story well here's a story; I used to run a fansite dedicated to a decently popular karaoke singing game on the PlayStation 2 published by a big publisher. I had a moderator on my message board who went by the name of "DJK8E". "DJK8E" said she was a model of the age of 20 years old and posted pictures of her in our Post Your Pic thread.Because I was like 13 and thirsty as hell, i had installed a "Browse Private Messages" hack onto my forums, to see what my members were sharing with each other in private.

Well DJK8E and a Senior Producer at the big publisher were flirting with each other, and not of the PG-13 kind!!!!! It got to the point where she had his direct cell phone, and ee even offered her the ability to choose songs for the next Karaoke Singing Game. Now she wasn't even in marketing or a developer or anything! She was just a 20 year old babe!!!

Even better, the producer offered DJK8E a Exhibitor Pass to E3 2004 if she would come see him. She agreed, DJK8E flew out to Los Angeles and plans were for her to meet him at the backdoor to the E3 Hall so that he could sneak her in without having to be validated. But guess what happened on the day of the Convention? DJK8E was "sick", and she sent her boy cousin in her place to visit E3 with a basically limitless pass. So a 12 year old forum troll managed to socially engineer getting to pick the songs that appear in a multi-million dollar video game, and a pass into E3 by flirting and sending fake nudes with a Senior Producer of a major publisher.



But nope you guys there is no corruption in the video game industry!!!!!

Not Singstar.... will the corruption ever end :'(

The only people who defend this SJW are turbo nerds who only consume pop culture (and cheeseburgers lol) which can be a bit backwards about equal representation sometimes. With that being their only frame of reference, of course they're gonna think the real world is full of misogynistic and homophobic pigs.
Remember that time when a trans woman became senator and tumblr people complained she was white and rich?

that's kinda a separate issue though. gaming media has always been a corrupt shithole. usually they sell out for cash, this time they're selling out because of sex or personal connections, or maybe just a confusion of tumblrite social justice with actual progressivism. the end result is a few more people realize that gaming media is terrible and everyone involved goes back to being irrelevant.

I'm no fool, man. I know gaming journalism is dumb and stupid and garbage. But I can't help but feel that maybe, and just maybe, people should be like "Yeah, the jig is up. We are sorry." and fire all the current writers for kotaku for starters. Get some fresh blood in there, make a statement like "We sacked those fags. Don't worry, you are getting straight awesome cool journalism now" and then maybe sell out for mountain dew and dorroit packages when the next call of duty game comes out. Say how the cyber-dog sequence in it breaks normal gaming norms or something but don't gently caress the call of duty dev because he needs to learn his place.

I dunno.

That reads like the alibi for a Senior Producer after he got caught with his dick up a 12yr old boy.

Basically they say you can't and if you get caught, you're hosed. Generally same deal for reporters covering politics. If they are caught donating to a political campaign, their hosed with most news outlets. Only way for them to do it is super anonymously.
