I wish Drake looked more like this guy. He has a more interesting face to me.

Helluva lot better than my attempt! I was more Doughnut Drake, heh. And I left the gun strap at home, so I threw on my backpack for that Golden Abyss look.

Gamers Unhappy That Actual Human Is Not In Fact Construct Of Digital Character, Express Displeasure

Nope, sorry, this guy ain’t Gerald Butler, ergo, this is bad cosplay and this guy should feel bad about his genes. How dare he give his own spin to a well-known character, how dare he not be the literal incarnation of Nathan Drake! The nerve!

Look we get it you hate women and minorities. Anybody who looks through your comment history can see that.

Welp, I never claimed to be speaking for you, or anyone else, so you’re whelming to stop bitching about ‘neg faminists’ anytime you like. You can think whatever you damn well please, and no one ever said otherwise.

People are literally defending this. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore. Or at least be in this fandom anymore.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding about freedom of speech. The freedom of speech allows Microsoft the ability to hold this sort of event, but doesn’t in any way provide them immunity from criticism for it.

He literally said women have “superpowers” ... which is beyond condescending outside of the sheets.

If the party planners were going for a club vibe, catered to game developers (as they’ve been depicted in mainstream media), then they nailed it. It’s not their fault if they didn’t get the memo that the industry has grown up.

large chunks of kotaku commenters, you make me so sad.

This isn’t a story about a bunch of devs going to a strip club. This is about a company-hosted party for game developers, where hiring schoolgirl dancers would put off more of the women developers than the men. If I went to my company’s party (we’re an animation studio), and they’d hired a bunch of skimpy dancers for…

You seems to be missing something. Imagine, you want a job where there are mostly women working. This company announce their plans to make it more accessible to men.
So far, that’s great, huh?
Then, to end this event, hours after, they make a party where people interested in this line of work could see people of the…

Unless you seriously hate the sight of women

So, I know the eye-rolling for some people is going to start. But let me just say: This was not the time or place for this sort of thing. There could potentially be a time and a place for this sort of thing, but it’s NOT at an event associated with professional endeavors, even in the gaming industry. It’s not okay.…

This would get you fired in most industries for sexual harassment. The game industry needs to grow up.

This is the only schoolgirl I want to see at GDC

Get ready for the mouthbreathers in the comments to come out and say it’s their rights to ogle booth babes that are violated, and also GamerGate is actually about ethics in gaming journalism.
