That David Jaffe audio was brilliant.

The reality is there isn't really an actual 'game industry' journalism. Sites like Kotaku aren't journalists, they're not even reporters.

They're editorialists. They write things that make people click through to generate revenue. They KNOW that. So they write the most sensationalist thing they can.

Sure, they act at being journalists. Sites like Kotaku started to fill a niche. I used to like them, but over the years they've jumped the shark.

They went from what seemed like a fairly unbiased look at games to this clusterfuck we have today, which is anything but unbiased. I'm not even sure they believe half of what they write, I'm pretty sure they're just writing it because they know it will twist people up and invoke whatever emotional response they are trying to get out of people. Usually outrage. Because people LOVE to be outraged, especially at things that they want to believe.

So yeah. Fuck Kotaku. Fuck sites LIKE Kotaku. They only exist because they were at the right place at the right time. I haven't been to their site for over a year, perhaps 18 months. I refuse to provide them any support. I hope in time they wither and die. But as long as they're publishing clickbait glitzy articles that rile up the mob...

I doubt they'll be going anywhere.

People in this thread are getting shadowbanned purely for commenting. The censorship will never end.

REDDIT ADMINS; WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

What are you trying to do by censoring? Most of us know about the situation (hopefully) and this is just raising awareness. Shadowbanning people for pictures? A fucking picture? If you don't want your site to be seen as a shit hole then maybe you should cut this shit.

Finally! The soundclip with the David Jaffe confrontation is brought up again. The gaming press is all too ready to leap to conclusions and make leaps of logic to attack someone who makes themselves even a bit of a target for them. And they're all to able to also leap to the defense of one of their own.

These journalists are giving Zoe Quinn money. They see nothing wrong with this. They are blind to their bias.

Journalistic ideals and ethics were left dead behind them, long ago.

This video also does a spectacular job of shining a light on Zoe Quinn's destruction of a game jam. She's funneling money into her own accounts. Every time she plays the victim, claiming she's been mugged, harassed or hacked, her crowd are quick to jump to her defense and give her cash.

It's disgraceful.

Gaming journalism has been trash for a long while. That was a decade ago. It has always been getting worse. This is the new low point, where developers and journalists see no need to separate themselves, drowning in their bias, blind to any other point of view. Every article and diatribe on social justice and feminism has just been click-bait. When they do something wrong, they don't care.

This is the worst gaming journalism has ever been.

And based on their acceptance of this situation, their unwillingness to open their eyes to their own hypocrisy, it's only going to get worse.

Can anyone give me a summary of what the hell is going on in the first place and why there is a conspiracy?

And also why this isn't about In N out. :(

Dropped the godamn hammer on them. I know no one really took gaming journalism too seriously but this is straight criminal and now we have overwhelming proof of not only corruption but also cover ups and using a charity fund for personal use.

SPREAD IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL THEY HAVE NO CHOICE TO ACKNOWLEDGE

Also 4chan made a song about the whole debacle. Reddit got a nod too for resisting the temptation to shill along.

so i hear some people are getting shadowbanned for posting on zoey quinn threads.

all i have to say is that if reddit starts to get censored it'll ruin it, and regardless of whether or not this unjust censorship continues im getting adblocker specifically to stop giving money to this site through their ads, i refuse to give money to the morally corrupt, but i wont refuse to pirate and use their services free of charge.

go ahead and shadowban me admins, and show the world how censored and shitty your site really is.
