And why's that? What's so wrong about it?

You should read his "Bad Game Designer, No Twinkie" series. Plus, if nobody complains about a problem, how else are people going to know about it?

Ernest has worked at Electronic Arts, Bullfrog Productions, and I think he worked at LucasArts for a while too. He's sort of a "Freelance Developer" now in a way, as he does most of his work within the IGDA (International Game Developers Association, the professional organization that just about every game developer…

"I gave some examples that the gender gap in wage is closing, every new generation it shrinks. In some countries it even reverted.

I'm flattered, but I think my wife would have an issue with that.

Well you'd have their real name too. 2-Way Street there.

What about women over 30? And for that matter, WHO CARES ABOUT JAPAN IN THIS DISCUSSION?!

I want to say that this should be a critical topic of discussion among developers at GDC, but personally I think it's something that should be discussed more often than that. Like every month or more.

THANK YOU!

Thing is, I never understand exactly what people mean when they say "Gaming going mainstream". Just what exactly does that mean? Gaming has been around for decades and has evolved and changed with technology, sure. But go mainstream? I just don't follow.

Well, if someone really wants to show that they are behaving properly the whole time, then they need to provide specific and detailed examples of what they are doing to stop or prevent improper behavior. Either calling them out on their bullshit, or if they are in a position of power (server owner, admin, mod, etc.),…

Oh I wouldn't worry about that. Most of the bad men are showing themselves here right now. Besides, this article's not for the Bad Men. It's for the Good Men. To tell them to go and stop the bad men. Especially game designers who have the power to stop them in greater force.

That's a good question. Maybe someone should ask Totilo. They should definitely have this article listed on their page, even if it is just a copy from Jezebel (they do it all the time with iO9 and Gizmodo)

A "friend" request on FaceBook triggered this tirade? That's a:

That's called "Gaslighting"; the dismissal of a woman's thoughts, feelings, or opinions simply because she is female. Based on a movie called "Gaslight" from the 1930's where a greedy husband wants his wife's expensive jewelry, and decides to trick people into thinking she's crazy so he can have her committed to a…

That's because misogynist A-holes have hacked it in spades... at least twice now. They are so against combating bigotry, that they go to these extremes to prevent counter-measures from even starting.

Don't Blink. Don't even blink.

Actually, it's:
