i don't know if all this poo poo is video games masquerading as social justice or social justice masquerading as indie video games, but it comes down to that the only video games really worth buying are from soulless factory companies that break their employees until they understand their opinions don't matter. at least they don't pretend games are anything but one of the lowest forms of entertainment by and for retards as opposed to ersatz social commentary

Nonsense posted:Papers please was cool. I don't think anybody knows anything about the dev tho because the dev probably isn't insane yeah, that dude is one of the exceptions. he's made some other games with really dark humor that are basically life in an imaginary, totalitarian soviet style country. https://twitter.com/dukope here is his twitter. it's pretty bland, just variations on 'hey people like my papers please game that's cool'. i think this dude is okay.

what i've gotten out of all this is that if you're an indie dev, sooner or later someone is gonna accuse you of rape. just the way it works. ending indie gaming is the first step to ending rape culture.

V!ntar posted:I don't get it. Why is everyone on Quinn's side arguing about misogyny? This has nothing to do with gender, she cheated on her boyfriend with 5 guys in the gaming press. Thos 5 guys gave that pretentious poo poo of a game good reviews. Where does it matter that she was a woman? personally, i don't even care about that. gaming press has always been pretentious, corrupt, and largely a joke. i'm more interested in how she hosed over a feminist gaming jam to promote her own (the donations of which go straight to her), which is also being ignored by the pro crowd. honestly, both extremes seem retarded and this is about the dumbest thing i've ever seen lines drawn over.

big duck equals goose posted:Because women are often victims in the gaming industry. Like, I heard Roberta Williams was gang hate-hosed by 15 men in the a Denny's parking lot at 3AM after Kings Quest II due to all the dev's hating her idea for that lovely time limit chore/slave boy plot thing. I'm not sure if that is story is true or not, but it doesn't really matter because any living person who wrote anything about Depression Quest and didn't call it a "Total piece of poo poo made in 2 minutes by some rear end in a top hat. Why the gently caress is this garbage trying to get greenlight?" is insane. yeah. but even that doesn't matter much, it's not like steam has a good games only requirement. there's plenty of poo poo so it'll fit in well. i mean, the most i can see coming out of this is that tfyc getting some cash and more people realizing that calling yourself a gamer or following the gamer press are both terrible ideas.

big duck equals goose posted:But does that poo poo get awarded for being "Brilliant works of genius" by various media outlets, even if it's clickbait garbage? that's kinda a separate issue though. gaming media has always been a corrupt shithole. usually they sell out for cash, this time they're selling out because of sex or personal connections, or maybe just a confusion of tumblrite social justice with actual progressivism. the end result is a few more people realize that gaming media is terrible and everyone involved goes back to being irrelevant.

Slanderer posted:reviewers actually liked it because it defied the expectation of being spooky, when the only spooky elements in the game were a quiet and empty house, and whatever else you imagined was going to happen in it. it doesn't have that impact unless you were knowledgeable about the lead up and previews of the game (w/o and of the spoilers), which reviewers were the problem is that people generally buy a game because they hope it will meet their expectations rather than defy them, which isn't the case with reviewers. i bought the dark descent because i wanted to be frightened in a game - i wasn't hoping to discover the final gender at the bottom of the castle.

it's a controversy about a game developer who has never developed a game because she had sex with journalists who aren't really journalists, which caused a war between men who aren't actually men and feminists who aren't feminists. i feel as though if i merely reach forward and pull, the veil of reality will come tumblring down and i will see the truth that lies beneath
