Female gamers are a huge problem for gamer culture. Previously there was no pussy at all and everyone as a group accepted no one was getting laid. You made your decision the video games are here and the girls are not. No one expected these men to get laid and everyone agreed it was entirely their fault for remaining in an area with no girls.

Then something happened with Obama crashing the economy which reduced supply of normal men. Some women turned to gamers hoping for quantity over quality. Suddenly there is pussy in the place where the video games are but there is not enough for everyone. This created a prisoners dilemma over the pussy supply. The same phenomenon is responsible for wars and most other acts of violence and that is when the pussy supply is mostly 1 to 1.

Being gamer nerds they courted the ladies in the fashion they know best. They validated them in every way they could and catered to their every whim. Eventually this created a situation in which every female gamer had their every wish fulfilled and their every thought and action amplified.

Normal women would be instantly turned off by such desperate attempts for their pussy. Many resorted to hiding themselves through anonymity to avoid the constant sexual assault. However the crazy and ugly girls are not used to being sought after and validated. This is a new experience for them but in the worst possible way. It becomes addicting like a drug and due to the disproportionate cock to pussy ratio it is like a 24/7 fire hose.

No one person deserves that much power. It would corrupt anyone. I don't blame Zoe. I blame the thirsty rear end betas.

You have to be incredibly naive or mentally handicapped to be oblivious to the way coverage is managed by PR; I just don't believe this person's reasoning. On the other hand they wilfully chose to work as a blogger, so maybe they are naive. There's a good reason why some writers like to refer to themselves as 'enthusiast press' and not journalists.

Btw. The Jeff Gerstmann firing saga was confirmed by Jeff himself when their company got brought out by CBSi years ago. Doritos gate was speculation... :stare:
The amount of revisionism required to sell the Zoe Quinn drama as journalist corruption is just startling.

The times when journalists were given consoles, TV's, and straight up cheques for money were just innocent misunderstandings.....

To be fair, many niche games are very pricey. Those are mostly war games and such that only a thousand of autists on the whole planet would want to play, so unless they cost at least $30 there's no way for developers to make any money. Those war games provide autists with hundreds of hours of gameplay, though.

I don't know, the real problem is that house in Gone Home has a pretty complex geometry to be just used for an interactive slideshow where "surprise, your sister fled with her lover and your parents are heartbroken". It's like an elaborate joke without punchline.

Oh no, I have a better image. Gone Home it's like those loving expensive novelle cuisine restaurants where they give you elaborate pieces of food that are 1/10th of the dish. You pay them for the privilege of being fed by that chef, to show a status, then you go back home and since you still are hungry you serve yourself a dish of pasta, but you demonstrated the world that you are above your peers. "Game of the year" my rear end, gone home is burgeoise poo poo, gaming belongs to the proletariat! :ussr:

Fooling around in Google, I have found this article from Leigh Alexander, the boss editor of Gamasutra and one of the authors that want to kill gamers.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/issues/issue_111/1359-Growing-Up-Gamer.2

This article helps visualize with she hate modern gaming. When she was young, she used to play a lot of videogames with his dad, but her dad grown tired of videogames becuase their evolution from whimsy to phony did not appeal to his tastes.

Again, his siters where at first his Player 2, but she grown to ignore games again.

So Leigh Alexander hate modern games because she fell games have separate her from his sister and dad. She had a awesome thing with his dad and sister, but games stoped being fun. The last games she liked, where probably in the 80's.

This is a person with a lot of contacts, one of these that can have your host remove your website with a single phone call. And she hate modern gaming.

most videogame journalists strike me as people that are now middle-aged and realized they're tired of videogames. go figure all they want to talk about is indie games that take an hour to finish tops because then they can write something that isn't just a copy-paste of a press release and feel like real critics. sadly they've spent the last 20 years doing nothing of import so anything they might have learned in university has faded away and you end up with a bunch of really poorly written opinion pieces about some nonsense.

It's front and center in every article, and stated as fact, with no due diligence to confirm it.

The way it's being used to smear everyone who opposes them sort of demands it be backed up with some evidence.

She probably did receive threats. So did Jack Thompson, Roger Ebert, Brad Wardell, various developers including the lead dev on CoD, etc. If we look outside of gaming, Anna Gunn, Yvonne Strahovski, Forest Whitaker also received threats and harassment.

The problem is that media is trying to frame this as a misogynistic issue that's exclusive to video games, when in fact it is neither. I don't think it's mainly caused by anonymity on the Internet either, since people say plenty of stupid stuff under their real name. I would say it's caused by social media because of how easy it makes it to insult or harass someone that is thousands of kilometers away, and because since anyone is connected to everyone, anyone is connected to lunatics.

Uwe Boll seems to have the correct attitude about videogames

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ2t86mdODw

"The other thing, why did I make so many video game movies? Frankly, because you could make money with them. I never gave a piss about video games and I have never even played one. I have made money with them. And with that money I was able to fund more movies."
