If any of this is true then it's loving pathetic. Sleeping around for good press, parties trying to stifle news on each other... This poo poo is meant to happen with real journalism about stuff that actually matters.

That someone could care enough about dumb video game shills enough to do all this babby's first espionage poo poo is ridiculous. They're like kids playing at having a real scandal. Narcissism is a hell of a drug.

real journalism has been dead for decades

she started off being pretty pathetic by sleeping with gaming journalists to promote her weird little game then 4chan and reddit upped the ante bigtime

maybe the next act will involve tumblr getting in on the action in a big way

I'm personally of the mind that the industry hasn't caught up to its audience yet. Within the next few years I'm expecting less misogynist aspects to gaming. I think all the talking heads should be focused on education instead of attacking other people; social change can't really be forced. Educate people, and with time certain issues will be less pronounced.

the people who give the most amount of damns about various -isms can be pretty safely ignored, since they usually only care about superficial details and not about context or any other thing that actually matters in a vidya game

Isn't the reason that women are such a big part of "gaming" now because of stupid mobile games? If you removed mobile games from the market, aren't they still a huge minority?

more or less yes, for every actual woman who plays PC games there would be a dozen or so white knights who feel it is their duty to be offended about every little thing that might be considered "problematic"

also reminder that one of the counter-arguments on the up-and-up about how poo poo games journalism is is "lol who cares it's just video games" which was literally the first counter-argument to SJW types when they first arrived, several years and billions of dollars in growth in the gaming industry (and the attached games journalism industry) before this whole thing

good thing that they are collectively self-destructing harder than soviet union in '91

basically people who literally write words about video games for a living, and nothing else, consider video games to be too lame for their time and attention

this should give you some perspective about their sense of self-importance and sense of respect for you

So let me get this straight, "gamers are dead" is a meme now because a bunch of agenda driven gaming writers have agreed to say so? That's a pretty myopic, self deluded world, right there. What's the end game here? Just because more women are buying the Kardashian game or Candy Crush or whatever doesn't mean the rest of a multi-million dollar industry is going to vanish just because a bunch of sjw writers wish it.

At the end of the day this is all about money, just like everything else in this world. Gaming journalists aren't the sharks of this enterprise, they're those sucker fish attached to them. They don't generate the money or create the content, they leach onto scraps that the content providers feed them. They've deluded themselves into thinking that they have some kind of moral captaincy in an industry that involves moving pixels of light. Thought leaders don't consistently give 9.5s and 9.6s to lovely games made by the same people that give them money for advertising. The delusion of this insulated bunch is both difficult to behold and hilarious to watch.

do you seriously think these "journalists" have any self-awareness or real intelligence? most of these "journalists" think they are smart because they got a fancy-rear end college degree in whatever form of cultural marxism is popular these days

It calculates that thing based on internet averages, so something awful probably just has 25 percent women instead of the average which probably is way less than that

do you honestly think it's a coincidence that there's a huge correlation between games that are considered to be art and games that give the player gently caress all control over the outcome

well, i don't really follow what the ivory tower considers to be art but i consider art as "if it's a thing, it most likely has some form of artistic value"
