In other news, gamers are people, and people are capable of heroic feats. Labeling this person as a 'gamer' in this situation is akin to saying "TV watcher saves cat from tall tree" or "person who likes to watch violent movies sometimes kills man".

Snacktaku needs to do a review on this!
It's definitely the case that not every pirated copy is a lost sale — it's absurd to think that every one of those people would have gone on to buy the game.
I'm sorry but this is a really ridiculous argument.
And as usual, while you may not always agree with Sarkeesian's ideas, they're certainly thought-provoking. If nothing else, relying less on tropes—regardless of what kind they are—can only be a good thing in my books. Hopefully the discussion here about her ideas can remain civil and not be knee-jerk reactions to the…
Personally, my problem with the "Are games art?" debate is that too many people that rally behind the notion that they ARE art simply point to the Cinematic story-telling and film-like aspects. I feel this is the wrong approach. Simply splicing in Cinematics (or Film) into gameplay, in my mind, does not make the game,…

The problem is not the term, the problem is the universally shared and advocated belief that feminism is "about equality", when feminists, even when they do their darnest to fight in defense of women with the best of intentions, have never bothered, in the slightest, to do something agains such issues concerning men…
"No true scotsman" logical phallacy dictates that feminism can't sin because those who are in the extremes are not "true" feminism, but you have not much weight to hold down to if you, or anyone, can define what feminism really is just to fit their views.
The problem here is this, and I'll try to break it down as much…
The problem is Anita is not on our side. She thinks all men do is subjugate women and demean them. Her arguments wrap around and strangle themselves. She contradicts herself and brings up half-facts without proper research. Her arguments also arbitrarily include or exclude things based on how they support her…
The unfortunate reality is that society has a certain impossible if not destructive ideal of masculinity that…
Reminds me of playing Quantum Conundrum on my Alienware FX-enabled laptop. The key-lights matched the color of the dimension you were in (and they were really bright at max settings) so when you played in a dark room the whole room would change color when you switched dimensions. So cool!
I wish we could all get past the irrational cynicism towards "good graphics". How many games out there actually sell on graphics alone? Games that would otherwise be mediocre if they didn't look good?
Oh thank god, I am looking at the PS4 and Xbone with such a lack of enthusiasm. Help me Steambox, you're my only hope!
Oh, I love this! Did I just seriously bring up political correctness? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! Gee, considering that's what all of your arguments stem from, I suppose it was inevitable to mention it. :)
What am I representing beyond the opinions of a single person? Should the world change to accommodate me simply because I have an opinion and can complain about it?
