I wish I had the proof, but it was 2004 and I didn't think it'd ever come up again outside of the small fansite. I won't implore it's true because it sounds so god drat ridiculous, but I swear on my life it's true.

Hahah what the actual gently caress. I was just being a dick, I wasn't trying to contest anything, I'm surprised it got confirmed so fast. Wasn't there a similar case about a star wars nerd impersonating a girl and being hired by a TV show to act as a specialist on collectibles?

No man all you need is a twitter account and then just look for times when an indie "game" dev had friendly communications with a game journalist outside the context of gaming and you've exposed the poo poo out of that nepotistic corruption!

E1M1 posted:I can disappear just as far up my own rear end about high-concept stories as anybody, but I can't help but feel that the current overblown hype over these "experience games" is a result of lowered expectations as long as a group you like is being finally depicted I guess the underrepresented group I identify with are uninhabited magical islands and season-changing stone circles? Is there an otherkin category for that? Nah, maybe I just like novel experiences and current indie games are discovering about twenty novel ways for me to disappear up my own rear end for every one traditional game with some novel gameplay over the same old hamster wheels. Game journalists like novelty even more because they are forced to play the lovely hamster wheels as well as the good, fun hamster wheels. If you don't like them fine, whatever, but don't imagine some conspiracy for why these games get some press coverage.

Klyith posted:I quite liked Proteus, which is nothing if not an art / experience game. There are nearly zero mechanics, no story, no fail condition, and few expectations to lower. There are frogs tho. I like concept games too, which is why I was really unhappy with Gone Home and some of these other story-based games, like the Really Bad one at the center of this stupid poo poo. I really like the way you discover things in Gone Home, yet it completely failed to do anything with that. It's like a tech demo finished up and rounded off with an English major's lovely unpublished novella.

EMILY BLUNTS posted:but did you like it $10 worth? I have a hard time defining how much I like games in relation to price. I really really liked Proteus, but it was really short, but also not very expensive. I certainly liked it more than I like the average sandwich. Yet I buy far more sandwiches than I buy indie games! How do I reconcile all these conflicting measurements? Mostly I just don't give that much of a gently caress and concentrate on enjoying a thing. I have spent money for things I didn't like, so if I like a thing that's good enough for me. hemophilia posted:I like concept games too, which is why I was really unhappy with Gone Home and some of these other story-based games, like the Really Bad one at the center of this stupid poo poo. So I stick to different experience games. I guess I can relate more to magical time-islands or bizarre narratives than I can to someone's intensely personal story.

So, like, presumably it's only a breach of journalism ethics if you're receiving money, not giving it. Right

That's not quite right. I would have believed something like: Kotaku is staffed by "journalists." Not bloggers.
