Too bad I'm not a rich as hell dude. I'd just offer like 50k right now to a game journo in the middle of these cliques who was ready to blow the lid off the shady doings.

That would give them the financial security they need to do it. Otherwise I doubt anyone talks, and this crap is going to drag on and on and on.

I'm glad that the few indie companies whose games I've played haven't felt that this was worth commenting on.

It's as if this is only one indie scene out of many, and that most indies don't give a poo poo. Also the main indie scene that journalists cover, is the one geographically closest to them? Shocking.

lol at people surprised that industry awards are rigged. My wine awards and medals! Nerds are making GBS threads themselves that the meritocracy isn't real and its really nepotism like every other industry on this planet. Just because nerds have sworn the gamers creed on a copy of Sonic Colors while holding a ps4 controller over your heart, doesn't mean game dev/journalists uphold the same standard of gamer honour.

Kojima could make Quiet the perfect transsexual Mary Sue, and they would still twist her impact into something negative to suit their narrative. These people don't want compromise. They want ideological conflict.

If Quiet is Trans, I guarantee Anita Sarkeesian will find a way to say they did it wrong.

It's not an either or situation, I would love for that poo poo to get dragged out into light as well and harder than the indie games fiasco whatever but as this whole thing is showing us, the industry is full of spineless hangers-on and we've kinda known it all along and hoped it would've improved by now but nooooope.

Watch a poor bastard try to plead his case as to why Zoe Quinn's Wikipedia article should include information about collusion, and watch him get shut down by multiple Wikipedia admins:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zoe_Quinn#List_of_Relevant_Material

Example:

quote:

Given that the entire reason the incident became noteworthy rather than yet another stupid fight between SJWs and gamers was because of who she slept with, it is very hard to omit that information. At the very least Grayson should be mentioned, as his involvement was a major flashpoint and drew an official response from Kotaku. Incidentally, the initial reports of her harassment re: Depression Quest are somewhat problematic in that they are not independent of the source; all the claims came from Quinn herself, which is generally a problem as far as reliable sources go - we try to avoid such, and it was noted by several folks that there was no independent confirmation of said harassment. Titanium Dragon (talk) 01:47, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

quote:

Ah yes, the "she's probably just making it all up" defense, which is only a shade below "she was asking for it". Seriously, educate yourself . Tarc (talk) 02:09, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, a Wikipedia admin compared a guy pointing out that Zoe's claims of harassment were unsubstantiated with shaming a rape victim.

"Indie" games were never good. Calling yourself an indie dev is a way to announce that you want your lovely retro pixel platformer to be held to a lower standard than regular games, and you participate in a bunch of "game jam" circlejerks that never produce anything of value.

There are a lot of cool people who make games without publisher funding because they want creative freedom (ironically, many "indie" games were made with publisher funding), but they aren't part of a "scene" and have never called themselves "indie".
