You know what they say about assuming.

Why do you think a field is “male dominated”? Why do you think male dominated fields pay better? Why do you think male dominated fields start paying less as soon as women enter them?

Um.. why aren’t they working in the high paying sectors of the company? How dense do you have to be to not understand that that’s exactly the problem?

...average hourly compensation for female employees is £0.36 for every £1 made by a man...

...he’d be donating an additional $3,000 to the Anti-Defamation League.

Twitch has tens of thousands of streamers producing content essentially for free (at least free for Twitch/Amazon). They don’t need to hire content producers the way Amazon does for their TV/Movie production.

I think you’ve been misled by personal bias based on your interests. Yeah, they laid off a bunch of esports people, but they also laid off a bunch of IRL/talk show folks, and a bunch of people involved in streaming tabletop RPGs. Basically they laid off most of their in-house content people. This isn’t Twitch getting…

That’s the most bullshit apology we’ve seen from these dudes yet.

...descend into chaos where the Government from ‘V for Vendetta’ is going to take over...

You might want to read this article about Nolan Bushnell, who just had a GDC award rescinded due to the sexual harassment he engaged in, and fostered at Atari. Saying “it was a sexy time” in response to allegations of harassment is garbage. Even at the time, the culture he fostered at Atari was seen as a problem.…

Should probably point out that this is a criticism related to many of the Atari devs being newly-rich, coked-out, sexual harassers and rapists. And that it was made by the guy who cleaned the company up.

Will video game websites join in? Cause these comment sections are as bad as anything I’ve ever seen in a game.

Everyone saw this coming, and warned Twitch, and they still went ahead with the change.

You’re both missing the point here- She/Her and He/Him are totally appropriate when you’re talking about about a specific individual with known pronouns/gender. It’s the usage of He/Him as the default that’s a problem being solved by using They/Them. MTG isn’t getting rid of gender specific pronouns for specific…

Glad to see this happening. It’s become more or less the default in the tabletop RPG space as well.

Three game industry people attended. Numerous other people and companies rejected the meeting, criticizing the entire premise of it.

Screw the game industry people who let themselves get used for this.

Sorry, I wasn’t talking about Torchbearer’s art, I was talking about it’s mechanics.

Given how heavily... inspired Darkest Dungeon was by the TTRPG Torchbearer, it’d be a bit silly for them (or their fans) to complain.
