yet more precious deflection, this time of overt antisemitism, from the heroically ignorant gg true scotsmen who arose as the phoenix from the ashes of doxx threads on fucking 4chan, one of the greatest safe havens for that bullshit on the internet.
i am glad they continue to attract only the best in hangers-on from the internet's right wing. at least this way, whatever "gains" they think they're making will continue to be praised by all the wrong people

Many people who disagree with GamerGate work for a company. Indeed, there is troubling evidence that suggests huge swaths of those who disagree with GamerGate work for one or more companies. I can't disclose my sources lest they be overtaken by the firestorm this post will produce. But worry not, dear reader, I'll keep reporting until they silence me.

in the end, i'd like to by sympathetic to gg WAIT WAIT HEAR ME OUT i'm sure the "gaming press" is "corrupt" (no shots to anyone present) in that, to my eyes, it has the same relationship to the games industry that fashion mags to the clothing industry or car mags to the auto industry. there's a thin slice of good writing and history and industry investigation and a huge block of heycheckitout PR
but you look at this thing, over the past several weeks, what they've done, their language, and it's like heeey why does your internet crusade seem to pick up the internet's worst people? why did it, in plain blank fact, start with them?

seriously what the fuck do people want? y'all motherfuckers love to see new screenshots, new little bits of info, new trailers, etc etc, that's what YOU FUCKING CLICK okay? So sorry there's no way to dress up like a janitor and sneak into a company and steal a build...
number two, and people don't want to hear this but it's sometimes really fucking irresponsible to write off a game based on a preview...alien isolation looked liked a 10/10 in the months running up, turned out somewhat disappointing.....uncharted, on my honor, looked like a FUCKING MESS the E3 prior to release....the last deus ex which turned out pretty cool look like actual feces when we saw it...
the fact is that games are fucking super complicated and some games that look great early never develop, some games look like a hot mess and they throw 700 ppl on them in the last 6 months and they turn out great!
you can talk about fundamental probz or concerns with design, and possible technical shit that may be a concern of not getting fixed, but it's hard, they can implement some new physics on something or new textures or new camera shit and it can break a whole bunch of stuff.....
so i'm sorry but i see ppl say this shit a lot and in my experience it's good to express concerns about stuff that could be issues moving forward but it's honestly hard to tell how shit turns out IMO.
if anyone could show me a form of entertainment journalism that's ever been PRIMARILY investigative i'd love to see it
