Times /v/ fucked up big league

>>385245364
sorry fisher, the only phil who is /ourguy/ is dsp

Yeah I remember when /v/ turned on Mojang studios too, but to be fair they grew into a very different developer than the one we all first fell in love with.

>>385245709
So far /v/:

> bullied Toby Fox to Tumblr
> drove Notch away to Reddit
> doxxed Depression Quest girl IRL and changing the face of gaming for half a decade
> harassed Phil Fish, making him give up vidya all together
> attacks YandereDev constantly to the point where he can't implement Osana
> drove PressureDev to actual suicide

The ONLY thing we somewhat finished was Yume Nikki (who was 2ch, not us) and Katawa Shoujo, though that was more /a/ than us.

Am I leaving anything out?

>>385246367
all of those things are good except for the Toby Fox part.

Remember that one time Phil Fish was a complete asshat to everyone including multiple people who worked with him and who only found success because his friends rigged an indie game competition for him and remember that time when he totally didn't ever post on /v/ and got called out for it?

>>385246480
Are you sure? I could have sworn he came around here. Not just lurking but posting /PROGRESS/.

People kept calling it furshit and telling him to >>/d/ or something because of goat-mom.

>>385246367

Remember that time when Depression Quest Girl was accused of relationship improprieties that were completely true but discussion of it was suppressed while discussion of Max Tempkin being accused of rape was fine?

Choke on it.

>>385246367

Ya, lets not seriously act like Toby Fox is someone to be vaunted. The only reason anyone knows him is Homestuck, which I think at this point all the kiddies have grown out of.

>>385247336

Undertale's shortcomings are overlooked because he pulled an audience that hasn't played that kind of game before. There are similar games that came out in the same year that were better but did not have the homesick advertising angle to boost them.

>>385246942
Me trolling aside. GG changed the way I viewed the (((industry))) hard core.

I could care less how much of a slut that bitch was other than the fact it was kind of funny she blew 5 nerds.

What did get under my skin was how real the conspiracy theory of "a close-nit collective of financially-linked start-ups banding together to push political agendas through independent games" became a stark truth, very quickly.

We can meme against ourselves by saying "muh ethics in journalism", but that's actually what it was. Kotaku is an ad platform for games that Kotaku invest in, but doesn't let their readership know.

That's scumfuck shit. When I was a kid I remember Nintendo Power. I knew damn well that Nintendo Power was published by Nintendo. There were no lies-- no political agenda, just vidya, and I loved every issue.

Now picture Reggie on his knees blowing Howard and Nester for fold-out space telling you that you are the reason unrelated races or genders feel uncomfortable engaging in your hobby.

All while VICE and Huffington post your Vivian James OC calling you a misogonist, even though she was designed after a cross between your little sister and your favorite Dragon Ball Z rape meme.

That's what this website fucking is, there's plenty of useful honest criticism, but it's not going to be sugarcoated. Instead we get all these pussy developers who can't separate criticism of their creations from basic obvious trolling.

>>385248015
GG was turned into a meme such that its mere mention warrants flippancy and derision, because once someone is bullied on twitter everything else is out the window. Journos who felt their imitation-ivory tower rattling knew how to sweep the whole thing under the rug, this was 2014, the winds of virtue signaling and inflated moral gesturing were strong at their backs

>>385248084

Yeah /agdg/ is still up.

It's even safe to post """PROGRESS" there, provided you never let anyone know what language or engine you use, unless you are a masochist for being bullied by 1st year CS students.

Nobody will ever criticize you for art assets or poorly implemented mechanics because Drawfags are rare and /idea guys/ are looked down upon.

It's kind of an unspoken failsafe to protect us from ourselves.

You're wrong there anon, you have to filter the bullshit, but some of the best criticisms of games I've seen come from this website. There's no chance shitty mechanics will go through without being ripped to pieces. It's not a game journalism website that has to give good reviews to keep receiving early copies of games, or a hugbox like reddit where if you hurt someone's feelings you get downvoted. You have people who love games so much, they get on the internet and read about games and comment on them here without gaining anything but (you)s from it, so don't give me that bullshit that this place is fucking useless.

They weren't accusations of cheating. Its on court record at this point that she did. And it's also on court record that Max Tempkin was falsely accused. One of these things was allowed to be talked about, one of these things was not. There is no reason for discussion of either to be suppressed.

>>385248015

It's not even that they're trying to push a political agenda, that's just a byproduct. It's that they're trying to elevate their friends through nepotism. My big example for this is how nobody in the industry apparently knew about Fallout 4 before it was announced. This isn't true, everyone in the DC area knew about it. The problem is that all the industry reporting is on the opposite side of the country, so to games journalists, Fallout 4 didn't exist. Games journalism is so insular and inbred that a game the magnitude of Fallout 4 was seriously considered to maybe not be happening by several major outlets. If a wide variety of people in many places with actual talent were actually employed by said outlets they might not have had thumbs up their asses about obviously incoming things.

Pretty sure /co/ scared away loads of animators that where doing stuff.

>>385251474
Damn, you're actually correct. Fallout 4 had damn near zero hype pre-release. I don't mean marketting or advertisements, I mean HYPE, which is what major vidya outlets SHOULD be doing.

I am not saying these organizations should only focus on AAA titles. But you are damn right that something like a new Fallout (shitty or not) should not be swept under the rug for Chan-related opinion pieces on gender-politics in gaming.

but despite all of this they are still that influential, they still get invited to the UN, get awards, get invited to big convention & events and in general get tons of suppor from the mainstreamt.

I feel the same way. I honestly can recall more stuff about 2011 /v/ than 2016 /v/, because this place was more entertaining and interesting back then. I feel like the general attitude on the Internet have gone from "silly stuff just for fun" to "serious business political battleground".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuDqraUlUcM

But all that aside I honestly enjoyed FEZ. But I don't think that there will ever be a sequel because Phil realized that the amount of work and stress that goes into making a game simply isn't worth the payout. Honestly you could make more doing a 9 to 5 managing a Subway sandwich shop.

I don't recall PressureDev suiciding as there were many "PressureDevs" to begin with, but everyone else is either a narcissist, elitest, emotional baby, or arrogant asshat and I really couldn't care if they got butthurt over the banter on /v/. You don't take the criticisms of /v/ to heart, you take the logic and see if it holds up.

I think there's some jealousy attributed to /v/s attacks on YandereDev, but there are a lot of other factors too. The fact that he's an autistic, egotistical can-do-no-wrong asshat is a lot of why /v/ doesn't like him. Not to mention he can't code for shit, so not only does his personality hurt him, his ineptness has the Chris Chan factor from /v/ who likes to laugh at spergs. If Eva was a nice individual, /v/ for the most part would play nice. People would still shitpost about him, but he wouldn't be disliked by the majority of /v/ users who know of him.
