>>139067354
Yes.

yes.

it started everything

What is gamergate?

It wasn't about feminism. It was about whores pretending to be developers sleeping with reporters to get positive coverage and praise for their shitty indie non-games. This led to a general displeasure among gamers with how video game journalism is done, with sites blatantly shilling for bad games and everyone buying and bribing their way to good reviews and articles. AAA games were a lost cause, but it was more about trying to keep the indie scene a bit more honest, but as usual the lefties who were ruining everything simply called these angry gamers racist and sexist and all their reasonable complaints were ignored and nothing changed.

>>139068693
And eventually we started realizing that not just games journalism was fake, all of it was

Maybe. But it was confined to the USA. People around here never heard of that crapfest. So...

>>139067713
>GG was planted
this burger is most likely right. Any other "local" story this big would have made international news. But somehow news agencies did not distribute this shit outside the USA.

Inside gaming, and in particular on 4chan, it was a very big thing. It had all the makings of a perfect juicy scandal.

>jilted ex-boyfriend
>skank woman that cheated with 5 guys
>game journalists sleeping with developers and then giving them positive reviews
>entire journalist email-rings and groupthink networks exposed
>entire network of journalism/SJW developer collusion uncovered
>angry leftist developers and journalists blame the entire problem on the consumers
>media and indie developers push "only misogynists hate extreme leftist propaganda"
>massive collusion to push that "gamers are dead"
>the most effective unmasking and rejection of leftist subversion of an industry ever to occur
>4chan mods part of the collusion/corruption
>censor/ban people from even talking about it
>same thing happens on reddit
>Sjws try to "shut it down"
>backfires immensely

And just like that, the left overreached and converted millions of young video game players into right wingers because they were too heavy handed when they fucked with their video games. All they wanted was to turn Video Games into another filthy leftist stronghold like Hollywood or Academia, and they would have succeeded if only they went slower and made their efforts more oblique. Thankfully, leftists don't understand restraint or self-control.

>game journalists
This shit still cracks me up. "Game journalist" :DDD

Am I the only one who remembers GamerGate as being about corruption in video game journalism? Why the fuck did you niggers have to make it about feminism? Why did you thrust a couple of whiny literal whos into the limelight and basically launch their careers for them?

>>139068272
A 'high moraled' prominent feminist activist and strong female video game designer, was outed by her bf as a serial abuser, cheater and liar; And (for bonus points) the guys she had been fucking on the side were giving her favors such as good reviews and high scores for her games.... aaaaand they're actually beyond shit. Pointless self indulgent steaming piles of turds that No one outside her feminist circles would or could ever play. Seriously bad.. not even funny bad.

Aaaanyway, the sjw feminist army decided that, due to her gender, she was actually the victim and that anyone criticizing her needed to be hounded out if their jobs and Have their lives ruined because..... MEN.. and MYSOGINY

basically it was a giant refill wake-up for the tech community, and an embarrassing expose of a weird ideology that by definition can do no wrong, ever.. because even if they do bad things, It's still men and societies fault.

>>139069438
Exactly. Everyone knows these people are just PR whores for the big publishers with barely a highschool education. But that's how they so easily planted their cronies all throughout the network of "review sites" like ign/kotaku/etc. Because there was no standards or accountability in such an unprofessional environment, despite the huge profits affected.

Gamergate is what proved to me that white people, by and large, are retarded. It took something like Gamergate to make these stupid fucking nigger tiered morons to realize media is trying to subvert their thoughts.

>>139069637
>Why did you thrust a couple of whiny literal whos into the limelight and basically launch their careers for them?

believe me, there were some of us who were suggesting that maybe we should back off on Anita that attention is what she wanted and as frustratingly bullshit as some of the stuff she was saying was and as much as we wanted to prove her wrong or at least show our side of the argument silence on our part would have been better. we definitely should have been louder (ironic lol) for our calls for ignoring Anita's shenanigans.

pre-GG me would have been a lot more open to the media's words about Trump.

Since I know this board is stalked by media more and more these days I just want the people who work at Polygon, Kotaku, etc. to read & follow these instructions:
look in your mirror
now say the following, "I am part of the reason why Donald Trump is President."

enjoy your lives. :)

>>139067354
>I never paid much attention to it at the time because feminism was already such a stale topic
Congratulations, you fell for (((their))) scheme.

GG was never about feminism. Sure, a slut slutted around for positive reviews, but people were more upset that the reviewers had gone along with it. To cover up their own unethical practices, multiple outlets started making coordinated attacks, falsely portraying it as being about gurrl developers and evil misogynist gamers. Then came the professional victims and the politicization. Then came the censorship. Caught unawares, the movement sputtered and died.

Fast forward to the 2016 election and all those spurned gamers saw the exact same bullshit being carried out on a much broader scale, only now they knew the game they were playing and playing games with autistic efficiency is kind of their whole thing.

Of course, the irony is that gamers really didn't give two shits about politics until the Left started messing with gaming. GG was basically the Pearl Harbor of the culture war. Thanks, Zoey!

>>139070217
Me before Gamergate:

"Yeah, I think that game's devs had those reviews bought and paid for..."

"WHERE'S YUR PROOF"

"It was a shit game. There's no way it was a 9 or 10 like all the journalists are saying."

"WOW SO THAT'S YOUR PROOF HUH? MAYBE IT'S JUST YOUR OPINION. MAYBE EVERYONE LOVES IT AND YOU DON'T."

"Nah, it's a really game. There's no way so many journalists thought it was that good. Devs paid for that game to get shilled."

"WOW OK. YEAH, AND I'M SURE 9-11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, RIGHT??? EVERYTHING IS JUST A FUCKING CONSPIRACY RIGHT?"

It's just fucking intuition. It looks like shit, it smells like shit, and it tastes like shit. It must be shit. Yet these journalists are tripping over themselves to praise it like it was file mignon. Yeah... no, I mean I get "opinions" and all that, but when something is pure shit and it's getting shilled this hard, something is fucking up. There's corruption here.

At least you niggers woke up.

>>139069885

>TRUTH

good boy points for you hippie scum

Gamergate started off small ball with the story about the woman sleeping around and her getting benefits for it. It didn't become a thing until moderators started banning threads about it all over the internet. That's when it pulled in a lot of people who didn't give a shit initially. It didn't become about gamers hating feminists naturally that was something big media came up with and ran with. It became a thing where people saw how the system works and how "opinions" are devised.

>>139067354
It was huge

normies ignored it because even the canadian shitshow news stations also maligned GamerGate and reported the "harassment" of that Sark whore and round purple "programmer" as fact

I unironically believe that gamergate led to the conservative counter culture of present. God bless it for happening the way it did.

>>139067354
Huge deal.
Forecasted Donald Trump's election really. I consider it the beginning of the end for the fake journalists.

>>139067354
It got a massive amount of weaponized autism off of videogames and onto investigating media.

>Why the fuck did you niggers have to make it about feminism
That was like 1/100 people pushing that shit. But that's so many that it didn't matter how restrained everyone else was

>>139067354
It was and it wasnt. It was a test run to see how 'people' would react to social justice and identity politics as ideologies. I can only assume that as a test run; gamers were targeted specifically because they would likely be both the worst and hardest offenders given common internet culture. At least, at the time. Ironically when your demographic also consists of 10 year-old shit-posters (literally and unironically) then you're obviously destined to fail.

One of the main things I think that gets taken out of context about the whole thing. How did people honestly respect aspies / autists / children / man-children to respond? Now that the dust is settled; its almost as if the SJW crowd was actually attacking their own worst-afflicted.

>>139069885
Bump

>>139067354

It was basically leftists being morons and redpilling a huge fucking section of their former consumer base on themselves. If GG hadn't happened, absolutely nothing involving the anti-MSM atmosphere of today would have gone nearly as far as it has.

>>139067354
It was huge for a couple of months, but ultimately cucked itself trying to appease its enemies and died out. There's still a general on 8/v/, but it's a total circlejerk. Could have done more, but definitely served its purpose ultimately. The social justice crowd still isn't over it, it's like fucking 'nam to them. The first time anyone ever fought back. Whenever there's any organized campaign against their lunacy these days, you can be sure a couple hundred numales are blaming GamerGate for it on twitter.

>>139068693
>>139068877
Succinctly stated, my fellows! Honestly, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for that skank. Too bad moot was kill over the ordeal, though.

>>139068693
We then followed the trail and it lead to the entire media not just game journos.

Look back historically.

Gamergate was where the Hornets nest was first pelleted with rocks and sticks. The reason the Right Wing and True Liberal weaponized was because of it.

If you look at cause and effect, if GG never happend.. Hillary would have won the election. When the far left pushes, the far right pushes back.

If it wasn't for zoe fucking 5 guys for the sake of her game than we would under crypto neo-con international criminal rule.

Gamergate redpilled normies. It was good.

The left created its worst enemy.

>>139072942
Is Zoe aware? Has she even considered this?

Gamergate was the primary reason as to why so many gamers got redpilled on how corrupt the media and entertainment industries truly are. It was also the main reason as to why so many of the once-good/great boards on this site turned to festering cancer. /V/ was hit the hardest by it, since they were actively participating in it and trying to uncover stuff on it, and just as things seemed to be going well, the mods went full "SHUT IT DOWN" mode, and censored all discussion on the topic, opening the floodgates for the tide of Redditors and normals who would then proceed to kill /v/ and then spread to the rest of the sight. This is also one of the main reasons /tg/ met it's end, since their interests overlapped somewhat with /v/'s, which allowed the Redditors to slip in and start to corrode everything as they usually do, eventually leading to the removal of Quests, one of the cornerstones of /tg/, which then led to it becoming the septic cesspool it now is. Other boards where similarly affected by this, but not quite to the same extent as those two.

>>139069637
you idiot
they caught on to the whole false flag shit on 8 chin

Then all that swatting shit began

>>139073130
It has been brought up to her probably. It doesn't matter though.

If you want to generalize. Back in WW1 white people where being fuck with. And they where shut down by more powerful forces.

WW2 is the second that happened and Russia/US managed to shut it down. US was ZOG inspired, Russia was Marxist Jew inspired.

Now we are in current year meme. They are now fucking with the people of the most powerful country, and it managed to get the crazy guy who talks before he thinks.

The neo-left fucked up, the marxist jews fucked up, the ZOG fucked up.

The trump candidacy is the most important 8 years in US history. If they kill him the people will revolt, if they let him run his course they will be shattered ane everything will unfold.

The damage control is at a all time high.

But if Zoe quinn never fucked 5 guys and then lied, and anita didn't shill for her.

We would all be lost.

>>139067354
Gamergate is directly responsible for me turning from a leftie socialist immigrant-wanting Greens voter into a conservative immigrant-hating white nationalist.

Gamergate was the first time I realised the media was so completely corrupt - to the core - that they lie and scheme and try and sway opinion. Not just games journalism, but all journalism.

I don't give a shit about the whores at the centre of it all. But I was so pissed when games journalists turned on me, threw me to the wolves, accused me of being a sexist bigot nazi whatever.

I just wanted to play video games. But if I'm going to be accused of something, might as well do the deed as well. Now I want to stop all immigration, deport the darkies, and exterminate the Jews.

Well done, games journalists. Well fucking done.

>>139073492

>>139067354

>>139068926
I mean, it affected the gaming industry in a way that no one escapes. It transcends borders. If you play/played games that is.

>>139067354

This.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back and launched the long overdue push back against PC culture and SJWs. It started a wave that lasted all the way to the election of Donald Trump.

>>139074415
They should have just rebranded and called it "SJWs: In Space"

Back should have read: "Help your team of dykes spread cancer to a far away Galaxy!"

>>139074545
Western games have been nothing but shit for longer than the sjws have been around. All their retarded bullshit did was get trump elected and make japanese games the forefront of the industry again.

>>139075048
Doubling down is good. It hastens the demise, allows the cancer to be removed, lets us rebuild anew from the ashes.

The more they push this anti-white pro-faggot transgender bullshit, the sooner the normies will lose it and join us. Once the civil war starts, sheer numbers will be with us.

Alt-right vs alt-left, the alt-right will always lose. But make it black vs white, have the blacks start threatening normal white families, and our ranks will swell to unbeatable numbers.

>>139067354
Gamergate happened because of autism. Feminists came after all the normie stuff and the chad stuff and they understand that you say yes to women but you don't listen. When feminists came after autistic gamers they said "No, fuck off." The reason that they were gamers in the first place is that they listened to women and became nice and soft, got rejected by women for being nice and soft and ended up lonely gamers. Now when feminists came for their world they just said no. If you think that a Chad doesn't give a fuck, a hard core virgin gamer gives absolutely no fucks because he has given up completely. People pushed these gamers around all their school years and now that they had built a network of online friends and had a place in that community they had built the streangth to put their foot down. They were 20-30 years old now and had character, at least online. All their arguing about Atheism in comment sections had prepared them for this epic debate with feminists. They layed out the facts, they trapped them in logical fallacies, they read up on the feminist talking points and they completely crushed them. The feminists had no chance.

>>139074658
And to think, video games would have kept us in a "fog" all by themselves if they didn't try to mess with them.

Consider too that they wanted control of games because they realized that with the death of god, religion no longer formed the mytholgical "lens" through which one views the world and instead pop culture does (every liberal analogy is harry potter or star wars). They had already all but won everywhere else (movies, tv, books, music) but games were the one area that werent that PC and werent fully under their yoke, in terms of opinion. Too much libertarianism in gaming they thought, no this won't do at all! With games becoming a larger form of media for the next generation we might lose our hold on things if we dont get control over this industry.
>*five guys happens*
Ah, never let a good crisis go to waste, this is the perfect moment to launch our assault on gaming. With this in our sails, we'll have total control of all the major western studios in 6 months through their HR departments.

But what they didnt figure was that gamers werent like tv and movie people, music people, book people.

No. Gamers are completely fucking INSANE and have NOTHING else to live for! This is the SJWs Iraq/Afghanistan...you may have control but this victory has unleashed pandoras box when you invaded a containment hobby, it will be your undoing. This is your Waterloo. Mario is the hill you chose to die taking. To break yourselves upon. To destroy your entire movement before you'd just let us have that hill, because to you it was too important but now it costs you everything.

Truly the ancient world would've been in awe of the drama of our times

Lets put it this way.

I don't play vidya anymore. Now I spend my spare time hunting commies on social media.

>>139075585
the normies have eaten up the shit sandwich asking for more, negro field 1 a top selling game.

>>139068693
This is probably the most succinct summary of the thing I've ever seen.

>>139069637
It was until people began claiming that the reason Zoe Quinn was being hunted down was because she's a woman
Remember, the indie scene is an incestuous cesspool of degenerate libshits, so a bunch of false-flag doxxing happened along with stupid normie faggots making it about fighting feminism instead of the original corruption narrative
Now Quinn is regarded as a "brave hero" for standing up against the patriarchy

>>139075048
BF1 did happen to die faster than any other BF game that came before though (even though it sold very well).

>>139075472
I've lived through the best years of gaming, western games used to be great. (((They))) have been influencing games before the sjw bullshit.

>>139075999
you see it even in dos games.

Yes, it snowballed after her video was posted on /v/ over and over again, their were multiple threads at once which always hit bumb limit as the topic was discussed to death as /v/ who had actually been criticizing how stale video games had gotten were mad at how she presented her argument.
It's snowballed once the journalist sites realized they would make a ton of money covering it and kotaku, who had already began hiring terrible female journalists who sucked a critiquing video games, felt emboldened and wrote click bait opinion pieces.
Then Anita complained about "death threats" when the standard response on the internet back then was simply kys. Gamers were seen as toxic and evil by the media and people who rarely ever played video games where told hardcore gamers were the devil and the industry went all in on being "inclusive" and casualizing video games for this "new female crowd" that had seemingly sprung up over night.

>>139075922
The liberal problem needs to be cleansed with a flamethrower.

>>139075999
You're right but what I was saying is that the sjws also hurt the jews by causing western gaming to fall off the map for anybody who actually plays games. The sjws are 4chans most effective allies.

>>139075591
This was important tho because no one else had the time to argue with these psychopaths. Normies have parties to go to and careers to focus on. They do have an hour a day to look at whats happening online tho and what they saw were gamers frying feminists alive and destroying all their BS narratives. It was important for the political- and over all cultural landscape and it did bring about things like Trump and the Alt-right.

>>139076383
Agreed. SJWs are basically what killed the democrats and butt-fucked Hillary. We just shitposted a lot and keked.

>>139067354
Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STl7-_f4_eA is an excellent recap for those that don't know.

>>139068272
Jim made a video you need to check out. Look up the Quinnspiracy on YouTube.

basically gamergate shit was spammed everywhere and mods of 4chan and reddit eventually got tired of that retarded shit and that triggered the gamerkin into thinking there was an industry wide conspiracy against them

>>139075868
And it's packed full of people with meme names
calling each other cucks. This I'm not sure exactly what to make of that, either this whole board is on there or /pol/ cancer is spreading like wildfire. Both are funny.

>>139068693
I would argue they pushed their agenda to get developers more "diverse" but as a consequence, the AAA titles have dropped in quality. Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, WatchDogs, and Battlefield.
I hope GTA 6 isn't full SJW.

I would say it helped Republicans gain seats and Trump in office. Why and how? Because
Gamers are just these young men and women who could not give two shits about politics. However, it all changed when the "Progressives" decided to start pushing their shit and it just got worse when this:>>139069885 happened. So gamers started to demand journalist integrity with gaming journalists. Then they decited to play the victim card. Then the MSM got involved and backed them up. So when gamers saw their community raided by the left. The Left hoped they capitulated, but in an act of defiance they voted for Trump. Because they found out Trump was hated by these same people who fucked up their community. The left makes more enemies then it does allies.

In and of itself no. Some slut fucked some game's journalists to get press coverage for her flash game then the gaming press closed ranks and pulled the sexism card and insulted most of the gaming audience to cover for it.

What made it significant was that it had the effect of exposing a lot of people to the fact that all of these game journalists were colluding together to sell a shared narrative and once they saw that in gaming journalists they then began to see it in the rest of the media.

It was in effect the first redpill many people were exposed to.

I was actually wondering, does anyone here actually read game articles? I have started gaming as early as 3 years old and I have never once bothered to read any articles or heard that it was a thing. I didn't even knew gamergate was going on until I found a video about it 1 year ago

>>139087137
As a kid I enjoyed reading magazines like Nintendo Power and Gamepro. I used to kill time at work reading gaming websites. Kotaku was actually a somewhat decent place for articles on games and anime until somewhere around 2006-7. After that they started slipping a lot of "moral high ground" bullshit into their articles, and their anime stuff degraded into the typical self-hating and whining about fanservice that you see infesting western anime forums. By 2010 just about every gaming website started similar shit. By 2012 even comedy sites like cracked turned into unreadable SJW whining.
If anything that is a good measure of all the SJW shit being pushed in universities and community colleges, most of these writers were fresh out of college and ready to spew propaganda.

Gamergate was the shot heard around the world. It kicked off massive autism from people that are sado masochists, that are completionists that sit endless hours to find every seceret, glitch, item, and achievement in games that take weeks of nonstop playing to complete, that play MMOs and grind for endless hours upon hours, months and years for experience and loot only to do it all again and again until the next content patch or expansion hits. This is pure joy to them. They weaponized their autism to reveal collusion in their hobbies media to show how corrupt it was, sure there were a few instances before that were evidence of corruption- Most gamers used game journalism as a sears catalogue/buying guide for their purchases, hardcore gamers knew better than to trust these sites, but the sites were also used by the casual masses, and gamers didn't want them to be swayed by ridiculous game reviews and waste their money on games that were pure shit that got great ratings because the maker fucked a games journalist or the games journalist was being paid to give a game a good review. The gaming industry is bigger than the movie industry so thats a lot of money. When gamergate was reported on in the mainstream media, it proved then, that ALL media was corrupt. Gamers began documenting all the lies and searching for connections. During the election it gamers leveled up and began doing the same investigating, documenting and archiving of the mainstream media because of how badly the MSM reported on gamergate, and one sided it was- pushing the faggy liberal agenda. MFW Trump was elected because of Zoe Quinn was a dirty whore that cheated on Eron Gjongi all for a mention about her shitty html text game in kotaku.

Ok, one studio who made a very popular recent shooter has a group that goes through applicants social media for anything remotely Drumpflike and refuses to hire based on that. They just put in a Muslim prayer room and pride themselves on hiring women over men and muslims. Their mission statement is to #resist drumpf by any means necessary and they have political tests for new hires - of course this is all massively illegal and they would never admit to it. One guy i know there was lectured on his white privilege by a 400lb black token who does no work but is their social justice mascot so cant he touched.

Day of the controller cord when

gamedev here

there is some disturbing shit going on behind gaming "journalism" websites and trans people. Giant Bomb in particular has been showcasing trans "game devs", and I've met them in person and learned about them from others in their clique and basically they're just these hormone'd up attention-seeking internet whores. the crazy thing is, the males in this clique, especially in their Internet-mostly-or-only hangers-on subgroup, have been slowly shifting from straight-but-virgin to trans-fetishizing to ambiguously "queer" to trans themselves. it's a goddamned mind-virus, and it's getting perpetuated through these games communities, and it's permeating into the industry.

when you combine this shit with the political left of America pushing for a race war, it makes it really fucking hard to find a job in the industry as a straight white male atm. I've thought multiple times about becoming a fake tranny just to get a job, but somehow my pride won't let me.

Gamergate was b8..

And I'm not even being sarcastic or retarded when I say that.

Originally gamergate was about the actions of Zoe Quinn, who lost all integrity when she slept with someone who was going to review her game.

The public outcry initially tarnished her reputation, but she played her cards perfectly!

Death threats reached her inbox (as they basically always do for everybody who pisses off a large group of people), there's screenshots online you can look at if you're interested.

Zoe took this to the media and to many feminist groups, she now had an army, basically anybody on the left who didn't read up on what was actually going on jumped in.

The discussions were futile, there was literally no point in trying to discuss gamergate at all, because anybody who did was instantly sexist.

The left do this all the time with many different things, for example if you agreed even with one single thing Trump has ever said you're a nazi.

I personally didn't really see the point in doing anything with gamergate, it was a waste of time the second misinformation was spread.

A woman named Zoe Quinn decided she'd make a "Game" named Depression Quest.
It's a point and click sort of deal with the presentation of options, except if you pick any but the one it wants, it literally tells you to pick a different answer.
She then went to Vegas and slept with at least 5 Guys to get positive coverage of her production, one being Nathan Grayson owner of Kotaku, a subsidiary of Gawker.
We learned of this relationship when her ex-boyfriend made a blogpost about the whole debacle. Quinn decided she'd get a court order to make him shut up about it all.
/v/ got wind of it and started digging and found a lot more like this.
It was often stated that games developers and journalists were in bed with each other, but now it was discovered to be literal.

- these faggots are pushing for more women to work in games
- the #1 contemporary female gamedev role model is literally Zoe Quinn

It happened gradually over decades. Liberal companies practiced heavier and heavier ideological vetting. When Obama got elected, that ideoligcal vetting became a hard limit instead of a bunch of soft ones. Now, it's an iron fist.

>It escalated in 2010 after that stuff has been around for long enough to have enough of a following.
Holy shit. This doesn't surprise me one bit.
I remember all those threads on /v/ from years back (before gamergate) how people were always lamenting how good games used to be and how 2007 was the start of the downfall.
Even have some images from back when.

Same. I had Nintendo Power, Sega Visions, EGM, Gamepro subs as a kid. Never paid attention to the mags that gave scores to games, read about the games that looked interesting. (Didn't have internet in the late 80s and early 90s) Nintendo power never used to give any ratings, it was mostly just used for walkthroughs/cheats. The big change came in 2006- the Iphone. When smartphones came out, everyone could play phone games and games sites seemed to want to cash in on the "casual gamers" but those casual gamers were not interested in spending any time on their games journalism sites. They were facebook games grandmas and girls that play simple games/puzzle games like tetris. They have no interest in games that "hardcore" gamers play. Games sites set themselves up for failure trying to focus on social politics in the industry and games hoping it would attract those casuals. It backfired big time.

>>139069885
I ran across a video review of Depression Quest the other day. In retrospect, it was really embarrassing: the guy took the one kinda unique concept in DQ and spooged all over it for being brilliant for 15 minutes. I was completely unsurprised to discover that he also did a one-sided video calling GamerGate a terrorist campaign. That's the kind of thing that was going on.

Though it didn't get outside the gaming/tech world that much, it woke a lot of that world up to how an entire industry could be corrupt, from the corporations to the media reporting on them. As such, it was a dress rehearsal for the larger war with the big tech companies and their allies in the mainstream media that we're engaged in now.

>>139094044
Agreed. No one ever talks about ethics in automobile journalism or yacht journalism.

Truth is, the game industry will never be ethical. The industry is small and journalists and devs are friends. If you want coverage, you either have to know someone or have to hustle to make connections. People bitch about it, but in my personal opinion if you aren't investing in connections, you aren't running a good business in the first place.

People are hired at game companies specifically because they run in certain circles. It's all about who you know. AAA game journalists aren't even the worst of it.

Yet, it was the biggest push back, much more than when MTV had the balls to make fun of hard gays and fags. Much more than when Monty Python commented on feminists ideals leaking into normal day politics.

Gamers got up and shouted back. They didn't try to do tasteful jabs or jest, or try to make a story out of it. They stood up and called them out on their bullshit.
They also get Trump into presidency.
Think about it. If feminazis didn't invade the gamer space, they probably would have gotten Shillary into the president's seat. Because of them, gamers are now more engaged in politics than jacking off to their virtual waifus.

These permavirgins don't want to be left alone, they want victory.
Simply put, don't touch our hobbies, because they just woke people who don't vote up... and they vote against the left's narrative.

Never give up guys. I like the energy and devotion in these topics. I know for one thing: don't mess with your games lmao

>>139067354
The incident itself? Not so big since it only concerned indie development and the cronyism.

But huge in terms of getting a large amount of young men onto Breitbart and then onto Trump.

There were some trolls that were sending mean things to Zoe and Anita yes. But there was a ton of people who actually cared about the poor journalism. The games journalists called every gamer essentially a sexist and that they don't want to cater to gamers anymore.

Milo swooped in with his factual feminist sidekick and the rest is history.

>>139094333
Thats most companies now, even at my current team where we do zero Current Year shit in our game we had people take the day after the election off as a personal day to cope with the loss

Its an industry full of soft nu males who go with the herd and have very little desire to be attacked for standing out. One person literally whispered to me "i voted for trump too" right before they left the company.

>>139094250
>when too many women get involved in shit, shit gets fucked up because of drama and cliquiness

This is true. When I worked at an openly feminist company that hired a lot of women, the politics were like game of thrones.

However, it paid better across the board, had great benefits (maternity leave and health care) and the best severance packages I'd ever seen.


It's a give and take.

If you were just a run of the mill programmer or production artist with a good lead, you could keep your head down and not have to deal with the politics. I was NOT one of those people and wanted to smash my head against the wall most of the time.

for the last 10-15 years, as tools have gotten easier to use, people who grew up playing video games—especially those in the SNES through N64 era—started getting into making games. prior to that, making games required much more technical skill.

it might've happened earlier than that, i'm by no means an oldfag, i'm only 26, but i've autistically studied the video games industry pretty much my whole life, leading up to getting into it myself.

They make some decent games, but their industry is being eaten alive by mobile games and major developers moving into making shit like pachinko and slot machines. Old giants like Konami, Square Enix, Nintendo and Capcom are niggerish companies that shit out halfassed garbage just like the west. And Nintendo, Square Enix, and Capcom have all self censored titles to appease western SJWs. Sega has been pretty great as of late though.

those digits

The initial /v/ threads were amazing as shit developed. Then characters formed like Wu and the blue whale after that. Damn, shit was entertaining even if it was futile. As if "journalists" would somehow change and come to their senses.

The thing is it was never really abou ethics, it was about the hobby being stripped of what it once was. Games were no longer being praised for being...fun games and instead walk simulators and powerpoint presentations were being shilled to high heaven. That was what really pissed people off, that Quinn got free publicity, praise and income for being such a shit game maker.

Everyone was already sick of politics being shoved down their throats in games. Everything has to have meaning now and must include the causes of the day. Combine that with developers who spoke out against the politicization of game being shammed and silenced it was just a powder keg. People who actually played games and didn't worship e-celebs like giant bomb already hated Quinn because she represented what was so shit about indie games and the "journalists" that shilled for them. All it took was something to set it off. I still believe that if gamergate didn't happen Trump wouldn't be in power as many of the same people who helped Trump elected also started getting noteriety during gamergate. It's so bizarre that mostly former-liberal gamers alligned with conservatives in fighting a common enemy.

>>139068877
That too, and I can't believe that there are still people who followed Gamergate that still don't believe that while the evidence is straight in front of their noses.

Most games with original ideas don't sell. I've seen SO many times. Developer makes a clone. Clone makes enough money so developer can make their original passion project. Project fails miserably. Developer lays off 50% of their staff and desperately goes back to making clones.

That is the thing. They are red-pilling gamers. There's like 5 different games coming out or just recently came out that have a prominent black female character with a nigger-fro.

It's like... way too many games doing it all at once. The reasonable person will think, ".... Wtf. Why the fuck does every game have a sheboon with a nigfro?"

>>139096429

>No one ever talks about ethics in automobile journalism

I mean, Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame basically landed that entire gig because he was at one point doing reviews for cars and fucking panning them while everyone else was sucking their dicks.

People liked that he wasnt lying to them about shit. He told it straight and he was funny about it. That make him likable and popular, a stand-out in the shitty world that was car reviewing.

People have always cared about integrity in reviews. It's expected that reviewers will lie to you because they're incentivized to fucking lie to you. So when anyone, anyone at all breaks that mold, they instantly obtain some degree of recognition. Eventually they become devoured by the slime mold that is society, the connections, the fame, the large amounts of money erode away any integrity they had, but at least for a little while they were good.
This happens everywhere, not just video games.

Men are so much better at coding than women that, if a company refuses to hire normal straight white men, trannies are the only way to get someone who can code, so trannies become extremely valuable. There's a strong incentive for male coders to go trans, or at least larp at it, to get a job, if they can stand the idea.

slide thread
sage

Gamers used to believe that game reviews were basically like movie reviews or reviews of other products: companies that spent money on ads in magazines and web sites probably got more favorable reviews. So maybe an objectively 3-star game gets 3.5, but you can adjust for that, and basically good games get good reviews, bad games get bad ones.

Then we found out that a 1-star game was getting 4-star reviews because the developer sucked some dicks and did anal. When gamers objected to that, the gaming media doubled-down by demanding SJW themes crammed into every game, and developers largely went along.

>>139097019
>Can't they just sue for prejudice?

They could try, but they'd have to find a judge who will apply the letter of the law rather than the spirit. Anti-discrimination laws weren't written for straight white men to use.

What was kinda odd to me is that the feds visited two guys who admitted they gave Zoe and Anita death threats but no arrests were made. Nobody got arrested in all this. Probably because they kept yelling at the FBI to speed up the process every single day and they just said enough.

Well it was basically a very transparent microcosm of how (((journalism))) works, and for many "gamers" it was the first redpill they were forced to swallow because gaming went to shit pretty fast. Felt like it only took 2 years to turn the medium into another post-modern dumpster fire, and we were watching it happen in real time.
Ironically enough it was supposed to politicize gamers into being good goyim, but by destroying their escapism they had no choice but to push back. They destroyed their beehive and unleashed the horde of autistes, essentially forcing them into reactionary identity politics.

Gamergate and Anita are essentially what made me hate liberals and want nothing to do with them anymore. Up until then, I was fine with whatever. But that whole thing showed how identity poltics has poisoned everything it touched and revealed how it also infiltrated everything that I love, ensuring that I would never really get to participate in it wholly or fulfill any career ambitions in it that I might have because I'll never toe anybody's party line. It really did blow the asshole out of a lot of things I really cared about. Now I don't care about anything anymore.

Except watching Trump destroy everything of theirs that he can in hopes that maybe something worthwhile can be rebuilt from it's ashes. Burn it all down is my new motto.

Identity politics made me a bit of a nihilist where I wasn't before.

Like an SJW, I literally can't even.
