did other media have their members become giant blubbering babies when people questioned their integrity too or is this unique to games? either way it's hilarious.

I just don't understand why these underpaid PR mouthpieces thought they should take a stand against their own audience? All they have to do is show shiny pictures of games and get people hyped so that your bosses make money. That is literally all you have to loving do. "Hey there's a new Sonic game coming out, looks pretty hype, here are some pics" This guy had the right idea all along: why didn't we listen?

If gamers come together and stop visiting lovely sites or at the very least adblock them they can get rid of bad game bloggers. It's an easy fix.

basically yes real journalists also are bad but no one will know until Anderson Cooper decides to have an opinion on babyman shootgames, at which point there will be a new thread about it generating 40 pages a day complaining about his undoubtedly correct and extremely handsome opinions.

Twitter cfo says a facebook style filtered feed is coming whether you like it or not/quote:Earlier this year, when Twitter released its quarterly financial results, CEO Dick Costolo was asked whether the platform would ever implement a Facebook-style filtering algorithm, he hedged his answer by saying he wouldn’t “rule it out.” According to some recent comments from chief financial officer Anthony Noto, however, the company is doing a lot more than not ruling it out — it sounds like a done deal. And while that might help improve engagement with new users, it could increase the dissatisfaction some older users feel with the service.

I agree #NotYourShield is stupid, but the reasons why are reasons why hashtag activism is basically always stupid. (I separate reporting on live events on Twitter, like say Ferguson, from hashtag activism stuff like #CancelColbert)

The whole "she walked away" thing looks painfully like a re-framing of someone who was told to resign.

Uhhh I'm only a contractor with the place where I work, but I'd be pretty pissed if they came to me today and said "don't work for us anymore, we're not going to pay you for things" so I don't think you get what being a regular freelancer for a place actually means

the patreon ties are all amusing, its either game bloggers/devs giving each other money or siphoning it off from this herd of chubby beta males. Its also amusing because last night the top results for patreon's feed were complaints that payouts didn't go out on time
