Great self-promotion piece, but no. You're massively oversimplifying, while also ignoring important factors like "it's Youtube" and "his audience is infinitely bigger".

Comments are a reflection of many things, when taken individually, including but absolutely not limited to the content itself.

Obsessive manchildren on a witchhunt. Kotaku has handled this situation well considering the complete and utter stupidity of it.

What is the goal of all this outrage? To say "Gotcha!"? That's certainly what it looks like.

Something stupid.

Alpha Centauri was 'just a reskin' of Civ II. It's also the best strategy game ever made. Atmosphere matters a lot, and if Beyond Earth can replicate the magic of it's predecessor, then it'll be well worth the price.

Yes, well, that's fine, but he's not just another player. He's different from other players, because he's attempting to become the first openly gay player in the league.

It's unfortunate because Michael Sam is attempting to become the first openly gay player in the NFL, something of enormous symbolic importance, and while no one wants him to be judged by anything but his merits as a football player, many sports fans were and are rooting for him to succeed.

You're a moron.

The ridiculous pitchfork mob after Zoe Quinn because she made a fucking game that manchildren are crying about is ridiculous. People have doxxed everything they can about her, dug up every past relationship. This is psychotic, it is beyond psychotic.

I personally don't care even if that was true... But good to know you guys took your time to investigate this properly. :)

I am not a Tony Stewart fan by any means. I do work as a Clean Up crew chief on a NASCAR track. I have been on the track with cars doing caution. KEVIN WARD is also seriously NEGLIGENT in the fact that he got out into RACE TRAFFIC LANE. To believe as a driver that you are invincible to RACE CARS puts him in invisible…

There is negligence no matter how you look at it. As a racer, a Professinonal one at that, it's his (Stewart's) job to pay attention to everything on a race trace. The fact there was a caution (yellow flag) out only amplifies this. He saw Ward and if he didn'the wasn't doing his job.

Hi yes hello? Hyperbole police? I've got a dude here passing himself off as nobility that says that there are no benefits whatsoever to always-online gaming.

Don't be that guy.

mooooooooost of the time, yes.

Reading through some of the responses to this piece has only reaffirmed for me why we -need- more women in gaming. The hobby has suffered too long from a myopic sense of perspective that really has throttled a great deal of its potential.

From what I see, the comments accusing a creative effort of being douchebaggery are a little bit more douchbaggeried to me. I can understand not liking it, reading a little and walking away, or critiquing it, but she's hardly judging anyone negatively like you are. On the other hand, repeatedly posting insults of the…

Sex is not complex at all. Peg a goes in slot b. You wiggle it about a bit. You remove peg a from slot b.

Oh boy, I feel bad for anyone you have sex with if that's what you think it is. Jesus christ.

What matters is that you read it. Not being sarcastic. It's cool to see that not everyone who's got a quick trigger finger on the comments is too impatient to delve in with something like this. Being puzzled occasionally is part of good reading.
