You know I really really want to feel for them because a bad launch for a console does indeed stink in a country that is often a major player of the product involved but I just can't. Microsoft did so much terrible garbage before it's launch and after where it pretty much said whatever to some of these markets on…
I mean, it's just that all I've seen in the past two weeks is "______ attacks ______" but I watched
No, it's not just from Kotaku. I'm talking in general.
Way to miss the point, the hateful harassing speech is the result of two things:
There is no rationalization of it. However there was also a group of peaceful gamers who want answers for the questions raised about the closeness journalists and developers share. We already know, and sadly accept, the corruption within games, since things like Dorito/Dew issue and the time Jeff Gerstmann was fired…
I'm not thrilled about the lack of gameplay diversity, ethnic and sexual diversity, creativity and risk in big budget gaming either, but it strikes me as odd that you'd request your gaming desires be met before you engage in a discussion about civility and respect. What, in your mind, is the link?
But the big issue right now is not hate. It's journalistic and developer integrity.
You're not helping.
What game are you talking about? Most shoots I've played don't do that.
We've known Nintendo of Europe had been struggling more than other Nintendo bases for a long time now. These are very sad news, but in no way surprising.
I just wish the NoE side would abide the same philosophy the top guns in Kyoto have of not firing employees when the going gets tough.
Just a quick note: I'm actually British. I used the NYT and WSJ as examples as I expect the people reading this will mainly be American, and those who aren't will understand the abbreviations anyway.
Please show me where I said she "deserves" it. Please. Here's a hint, don't use quotes if the person you're quoting DIDN'T SAY WHAT YOU'RE MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THEY SAID. Learn to read, I never said she "deserves" it, I said she and Zoe aren't innocent, like they, and their followers, claim to be. And you know why?…
I'm so, so, so confused as to the seeming ignorance of the gaming media here. Maybe it's because my main interest is politics that I have a certain detached view of this.
So Zoe and Anita got harassed, yeah, that's awful. But are we going to ignore the indie dev that claimed to be sexually harassed by Zoe herself, and then got threatened by Phil Fish and others into not only keeping quiet but APOLOGIZING for it? As if it was his fault he got harassed? Are we going to ignore the…
And that is how you ignite a wildfire. This whole spectacle is about controlled censorship. But it's your blog post so have at it good sir.
I think it's important to let people speak their mind, man. Taking away people's words doesn't make anyone feel better.
Aren't there books with violence against women like rape being used as riveting material for a story, I'm pretty certain it is, so why do books shows and movies get a pass but not video games it's ridiculous that developers will be censored because people clamored to inhibit artistic freedom because of women.
Really?!?! Why? He's always been a boy. Regardless of whether his name is Hero, or Link, or Poop, he is still a boy in The Legend of Zelda lore. Why make him a girl all of a sudden? I have nothing against it personally, but it doesn't make any sense to alter the vibe that way. I would be SUPER excited to find a…
