I'm going to be extremely cynical for a moment, and this is not a indictment of your general reporting of this subject. But let me get this straight: You got a tip from Gamergate that the people responsible for the most repugnant attacks against Ms Sarkessian were known to them. At a point when drama over this had…

I'm noticing the little WWP logo on the bottom right, does that explan the camo?

I can sort of see the logic in this for Sony, exlcusives make the platform more enticing if you were actually in the market for one. But the title isn't exclusive, only these strike missions. That's not much of an incentive. Where it falls off is that is that it's hard to imagine a scenario where it matters:

I would much rather be lectured than lectered. Cannibals are scary and Diet Coke leaves them hungry.

What's missing is how incredibly fucked this is from the perspective of their institutional values and practices. Had I been drinking on campus as a 22 year old freshman or 23 year old sophomore, I would have faced draconian disciplinary action. Had I been caught screwing in my room I would have been expelled. It…

Thank you so much for this. Everything I've seen so far from Gawker has been mostly angry screeds and ad-hominem attacks (like Kluwe's). Those don't help anything at all, and actually make the whole situation even dumber than it already is.

I don't get it.

They thought playing "Red Rover" would totally work. With two people. In football.

I had to do a couple of these for BDE sized events in OEF and it was...different. It does take a whole lot more time to set up but it was more a function of scale. I'm talking sandboxes the that are more like 50' x 50' with as much detail as possible. I don't know how this will help that, and there is also a…

Not defend their practices (I can not stress that enough), but think of it in terms of money. What is your leisure domain and do you spend money on it?

There is another aspect that you are not addressing, which I think is at the core of what the non-extremists (they are out there) involved are getting at: consumer advocacy. Video games are expensive, and the only way that consumers really know if they are sending $60 down the shitter is by having critics and…

So they're assholes, but assholes with leverage it seems.

That is exactly how I imagine "bros" reacting. Weeping with joy.

Haha! Army's got New York! Suck it Navy and Air Force, you got nothing, NOTHING!

Indeed, although the term "little people" has unfortunate connotations in the world of porn. Also "dwarves" would denote some kind of role-play.

That's not enitrely accurate, you only "earn" your pension once you reach the 20th year, so getting out before that gets you nothing. What you are refering to is more of the TSP which is the Army's version of a 401K. Soldiers who leave before then do not get money.

So I AM the only one watching Japanese tentacle porn. Huh.

I could def go for Kevin Smith voiced with Twilight Sparkle voice...or Raven.

Yeah, the culture is what needs to change, otherwise crimes will still be committed and people thrown (or not) into jail, neither of which are good for society.

I think you've sold it for me. I don't know what to really think about this, as I don't really forsee any changes to what happens once a case enters the legal system: "I said 'no'/She said 'yes'" is still going to be the default and hard to prove. But the changing how people think about what they're doing and whether…
