fisting by many posted:wikipedia and reddit admins is totally understandable given that it takes a special kind of person to care enough about an internet cesspit to spend hundreds of hours moderating it Or that the host got hit with spurious DCMA notices because a picture was used without attribution and the site wasn't big enough for them to bother expending the effort to see if it was bollocks. It seems to usually transpire that something like that or huge traffic spikes cause small gaming sites to randomly go offline.

Not to beat a dead horse but people could link to dozens of sites have changed their moderation policies and published weird manifestos about the word "gamer" all the sudden -- and this is all public -- and you're saying that didn't happen? Oh.

EasternBronze posted:Probably this type of best-friends club type corruption isn't rare in the world but the ubiquity of social media combined with how, shall we say, "unconventionally socialized" someone who makes their life around videogames is just creates the perfect storm. I'm not surprised people are pissed. Videogames are supposed to be fun and games, noone wants their hobby to get taken over by the kind of bullshit you deal with and work or in the news. the giant bomb guys are best buds with harmonix and no one gives a poo poo. People at Kotaku and The Escapist go to parties hosted by EA and get free, one-of-a-kind videogame swag and no one gives a poo poo. Some dumb indie game devs may have had sex with some other indie game devs and the internet collectively shits itsself.

so a lot of people keep accusing some girl of sleeping with a bunch of journalists to get coverage or good reviews or awards for her game but ive never heard of her game, havent seen a positive review and if it won an award it only diminishes the prestige of everyone who ever got that reward to nil just because her game got it, not because of how she got it so who cares

Oh yeah that makes a lot of sense But deleting the IP is still weird isn't it? Wouldn't most hosts just have it go to a "website suspended" page?

This is just the straw that broke the camel's back. It's also special because while people aren't surprised about AAA being corrupt, it was probably surprising that the indie game scene is as bad. There are numerous reasons to care about this.

No my point is that reddit threw a shitfit and almost blew up involving one deleted thread over an unknown D-list indie dev now imagine if they tried the same thing about the celeb leak two weeks later (a significantly bigger deal to way more people) I'm not defending them morally because I don't give a poo poo I'm just pointing out reddit would have gone the way of digg if they censored the celeb nudes

What facts? You mean the ones after ones showing financial and personal support, the time the lady crushed an feminist game charity to promote her own, or her and others just being a hilariously stupid people? Which one is shows your side again?

Some dumb indie game devs may have had sex with some other indie game devs and the internet collectively shits itsself. Major publisher pressure on review sites is a well known problem and its turned into a shitstorm before. At least with Gamestop and the like they don't band into mobs and try to persecute you for wrong think about videogames. Don't you find it a little ironic that someone who supposedly cares so much about feminism and women in games than goes around and has sex with men to further her standing in the scene? It sounds like a misogynistic accusation but whoops its actually true. She had sex with a guy who judged her game for an award.

I mostly think that Quinn is probably a bit of an rear end in a top hat and just ran in the same social circles as these people and just casually hosed them rather than doing it for any reason with her games.
