Schreier does good work but he can definitely get up his own rear end at times (see: his response to criticism on his take on the Ooblets/EGS stuff).

Yeah the full story is a trip, and it's also nice to finally have a piece like this to point to after a decade of messageboard chatter/rumors about how lovely Nicalis is.

He's great at doing real journalism about real issues in the game industry. He's bad at about everything else. I like him when he does the former and hate him when he does the latter.

In short, Jason Schreier is a land of contrasts.


Nicalis loving sucks and I'm glad more people are finding this out.

yeah, i feel like nicalis has had a lovely reputation for years and years but outside of murmurings and gossip in the corners of the internet i've never been able to pin down anything concrete. the only thing i remember is they released the cave story port to wii something like a year or two late, and it had some extremely obvious and lovely bugs from the get go that weren't fixed until another year after that. that left my opinion of them pretty sour ever since

No one disagrees with this, he does a good job reporting on abuses in the industry, but he is also a giant manchild. One doesn't cancel the other out.

He's really vocal and authoritive on his opinions in regards to games, especially jrpgs. That subgroup in particular routinely has a go at his proclamations.

PewDiePie pulls $50k donation to the Anti-Defamation League following fan backlash

PewDiePie posted:

“I saw it as an opportunity to put an end to these alt-right claims that have been thrown against me. It wasn’t to try and clear my name or say grace. If it was, I would have done it years ago. But after the Christchurch tragedy, I felt a responsibility to do something about it, because it’s no longer just about me. It affected other people in a way, and I’m not okay with that. I’ve struggled to figure out how to do that, but this was not the right way to go about it. I knew it wasn’t perfect, but I also didn’t know a lot of things that surfaced throughout this whole thing about the charity that doesn’t fit at all. So I understand why people had concerns about it. These are things I would have known myself if I had just taken my time. . . It really doesn’t feel genuine for me to proceed with the donation at this point, and I instead wanted to actually take my time and keep the intent that I had, but do it with the right charity and doing it properly. I just wanted to make that clear. I’m sorry for all the confusion, and I’m sorry for messing this up. That’s what I do!”

Discussion is the point of the forums. I'm sorry if I've upset you in the past. I'm trying to be better about not engaging people who are being disrespectful so I don't say anything disrespectful back.

But I also often try to point out unpopular views, which ends up with 6 goons dogpiling on me. To say that I am argumentative because of that is extremely misleading. It'd be much easier to just agree with people but it adds nothing to the discussion.

Like just recently, I got attacked for pointing out that Randy Pitchford was not talking about journalists as villains but was actually defending a woman who was being slut-shamed for her cosplay. That doesn't mean Randy is my hero or I'm "defending" him, and it doesn't mean you should attack me if you don't like Randy. I think this thread would all agree that cosplay is cool and slut-shaming is bad.

You can blame it all on me, but its just a symptom of games being too combative about videogames. But I am also part of that and am trying to alter my behavior going forward in whatever ways I can.

Exactly. Trying to look at people as all good or all bad is really dangerous. Good people can make mistakes, and bad people can still do good. Life is complicated. We need to be able to talk about both without inherently implying that the other doesn't exist.

I typically agree with your posts but the first MGS related one you made that caused me and others to disagree with you came off as weirdly hostile and that's probably why you got dogpiled in this instance.
