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.

Got a couple of interesting imgur links from 4chan too.

Theres also a conflict of interest[3] in the /r/gaming and /r/hardware sub. A Redditor sent a message to another one of the /r/gaming mods about the conflict of interest and was responded to with a "fuck off" by one of the mods. The el_chupacupcake responds to the criticism here[4] but he seems to have connections to people in the gaming industry. I'll show proof on this later but I'm sure another Redditor can post it. The imgur links I posted are just the ones I found interesting. There are a **lot** more.

We had another scandal with the dewritoesgate scandal. A writer called out a few people when Geoff Keighley had a video of him with doritoes and halo in the backgrounds. An interview that had nothing to do with either products. Lauren wainwright, a reviewer filed libel and got said writer to step down. Now Lauren Wainwright, as it turned out was working for Square Enix as well as given them praise in articles as a reviewer/game journo.
I thought this incident would be the the event that would shake up gaming journalism.
Now here we are 2 years later after dewritoes gate. Honestly I just want someone to come clean, I'm tired of people brushing this under the rug and I'm especially tired of this gaming clique between writers and game devs.

My initial reaction to all this was "well games journalism has always sucked, no news here" but then it occurred to me it would be nice if games journalism was actually good.
It'd be great to be able to read interesting in-depth articles on games knowing that the writers aren't in the devs/publisher's pockets.

Using charitable funds for personal use outside of those claimed is fraud.

Just a reminder that the vast majority of 4chan is against "doxing" and anyone requesting it is banned by the mods and ridiculed by the community. This is not a witch hunt, anti-woman crusade, or personal vendetta so don't let gaming media paint it as such. This is a wakeup call for a hobby we all share and an industry we have supported for most of our lives. We want games, not nepotism and forced identity politics.

not trying to troll, honestly interested in your opinion. What exactly in this is "criminal"?
