Gamers are people who self-identify as gamers. Those who self identify typically have characteristics X, Y, and Z. Some of those are not positive characteristics.

bloodysabbath posted:Okay, I'll bite: If both people go for this, how is this any more offensive than the dumb, expensive parties that pass for a "normal" wedding? I never said anything about it being offensive. What I said is that it's not "just" a hobby. Similarly, if you're so into woodworking that you have a lumberjack themed wedding, it's not "just" a hobby either.

bloodysabbath posted:Not if what you want from game journalism is reliable, down the middle of the plate buying advice, because these things are expensive products first and foremost at the end of the day. After the whole Kayne & Lynch saga it's pretty hard to argue game journalists are "reliable" in any sense.

bloodysabbath posted:I know you have a weird hard on towards attacking and stereotyping gamers for some reason, but this is very false. Gamers were loving pissed when Jeff got fired and overwhelmingly supported his new independent venture. It eventually got big enough that the new parent company of the site that fired him made amends and bought his new site. They bought the site because it was popular, not to "make amends" about firing him several years prior (and it was popular because it did something completely different to what Gamespot had been doing up until then). The point really is that in the not so distant past a guy was fired because he gave a video game a low review. That's not a sign of an industry that has "reliable, down the middle of the plate buying advice".
