Personally I don’t think any of this justified holding the event in the first place.

I like Smash ok, but I really fucking hate the fanbase. This game has literally every Smash character ever, plus a decent amount of new ones, and they’re still constantly disappointed by every single announcement.

this article isn’t informative or funny. was it written in jest? little disappointed in the clickbait. 

What they mean its the next big thing they want to happen to get a steady stream of money.

Whenever an industry tells me what the next big thing is I roll my eyes because people determine what the next big thing is not industries. If they go through with this it will hurt a lot of gamers where stable and affordable unlimited internet is not available.  Just three years ago it was virtually impossible to…

This argument is seriously misguided. Yes the developer definitely has more experience than the consumer in the practice of making video games, but they’re not omnipotent. Like any professional, they make mistakes. All the time. There have been countless games that didn’t have features that were added later solely…

A developer attacked several fans without justification. It wasn’t simply because an online mob demanded it. The community was pissed at her behavior and ArenaNet values its community because without them, there’s no game.

Top one was her blowing off legitimate discussion and critique, something creative writing in a team setting absolutely demands.

Second one is the TB tweet.

Disclaimer: I am just talking about Jessica Price here, the other episodes of harassment are shitty and unacceptable and I am NOT pro-gamergate here.

“Two Guild Wars 2 narrative designers, Jessica Price and Peter Fries, were fired after Jessica attacked a well-established community member for asking a questions, shouted sexism, and refused to back down. This led people to dig into her Twitter page and realize she frequently posts opinions that ArenaNet does not…

Nathan and Kotaku is general would do anything to make someone like Price not look bad, she’s a female after all.

Read the original messages and judge for yourself. Were these appropriate responses to customers? Or was she an innocent victim?

Am I? I certainly exaggerated the actual tweet but she said she was glad he was gone. Being happy (glad) that someone is dead isn’t particularly uncommon but announcing such a thing publicly  comes across as very very cold and certainly unprofessional.

Also, she insulted total biscuit after he died. Wasn’t a huge fan of his but announcing “Horray this guy died!” is sort of presenting a poor image.

Good thing he’s not doing that, then.

Taking the original twitter spat alone, her behavior was ridiculous. She posted a multi-tweet essay, essentially, to a public space. Someone respectfully commented on that essay and she began passively insulting him.

I would argue that the problem is that his mother was a cocaine addict and that his father abandoned him.

“It ain’t natural for a black man to be rooting for Germany, m0e.”

“Goku loves his son so much,” Kirkland said. “And while he’s kind of an idiot when it comes to ChiChi sometimes, he’s a good dad. … When I was super young, I didn’t really think about it too much, but as I got older, seeing how much Goku cared for [his son] Gohan was something you didn’t really see very often.”

Claiming this is something gamer-gate is about is like claiming that Islam is an evil religion because of terrorists using it as an excuse for evil. 99% of the support for gamer-gate is about ethics in journalism. It's not about hate.
