The last few weeks therefore represent the moment that gamers realised their own irrelevance. This is a cold wind that has been a long time coming, and which has framed these increasingly malicious incidents along the way. Videogames have now achieved a purchase on popular culture that is only possible without gamers.
...
On some level, the grim individuals who are self-centred and myopic enough to be upset at the prospect of having their medium taken away from them are absolutely right. They have astutely, and correctly identified what is going on here. Their toys are being taken away, and their treehouses are being boarded up. Videogames now live in the world and there is no going back.


Yeah b*******s we appropriated your stupid faggy medium because you're so prejudice what do you think about that you fat masturbating shut-in neckbearded losers

Really good if true, and I'm kind of tempted to believe it since game journos have been pushing the ":siren: GAMERS ARE DEAD :siren:" thing really hard for the past day, but it came from 4chan and so it could easily be fake.

It isn't really surprising that this could blow up in everyone's face because no matter how hard they cling to their victim complex they totally did out temselves as dishonest shills and they are going a long way towards alienating the majority of their base for the sake of one lovely person.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

This is the most fantastic part of the whole thing. The major game sites are hoping there will be typical short memory syndrome with gamers like with game companies except game companies provide a product and game sites provide monkeys slapping a typewriter so there's no reason for gamers to ever forgive or forget here

It's something that's going to pan out over a period of weeks and months as well, these recent salvoes of "gently caress gamers" from gaming sites in general are just one phase. There's going to be a back and forth on this for a while and as more people get interested and read up on things, more and more stuff is going to come to light. The fact that there's a major con going on this weekend creates the potential for other complications as well. If 4chan is serious about trying to win and take the moral high ground (there's a sentence I thought I would never write) they are going to have to rein in the loons and other overly-aggressive types and use the steady pressure on advertisers and purse strings SJWs have perfected so well over the last few years.

I know the guy who wrote this and I can confirm that this is 100% true. Video game companies are pretty loving livid at journalists pissing on their audience instead on doing real reporting. EA apparently is pretty angry that coverage of the sims 4 is being pushed back by lovely SJW bullshit.

There isn't really any way 4chan could lose, since this is just a glorified PR war and their public stock is already in the shitter. Zoe's side is being dragged through the mud and the longer it goes on it'll be worse for them, despite how much patron money Zoe is raking in from this.

Are they worried people would say something like: "Hmm, this looks pretentious. Basing a game on a hodgepodge of traditional college social studies and art studies humdrum that shocks no one in this age. You'd have to be kind of dense to think people want to play your term paper."

(The game might even be interesting, I have no idea, but that RPS article is the dumbest way to say that is, if it is.)

rps comments are always bad
