Hm, interesting approach - to just accept it like it is and shrug when it is pointed out. Does that apply to the abusive Internet ? The suppression of it just makes this keep on going, and it is rather amusing in of itself. So far Fish's life has been ruined, or so he claims (that hack may have been a fake), so that's one good thing.

Hooray for you, then. One would need to define what is a significant amount and what one would consider a non-casual gamer, before you considering if it is ridiculous to think other than you do.

Never said it made much sense, it fits though. As for the companies, well there's more money in the casual ones and they are less insane than hardcore ones.

It's not a distinction between a sports fan and a gamer. In football, for example, there are fans that get into the team - know the songs, the players, history and they always sneer at fans that don't or that casually watch (prawn sandwich brigade is a common moniker for these people). So it's a similar deal.

Huh ? Thought the freakout by the SJW gaming folk like Walker, Kuchera and Sessler happened after the leak by her ex and the storm created by the guy faking Jesse Ventura's voice, not the other way around. Hard to say what you could call a SJW other than that, who are fedoras ?

That is true, he may have been a bit of an asshat but at least he was a hardcore coder from the start.

Expected as much. But seems some people think it's an issue - else sites wouldn't be all up in arms over people discussing it. And I assume Kotaku and RPS and whoeever might think it's an issue if people think their staff are actual whores. Sadly the "poor woman oppressed by Internet" is the takeaway.

Figure of speech, I assume. Though Fish lost vital details in a "hack" like his SIN, financial details - so that might be it. It's a rather entertaining flame war basically, produces some funny gems.

What's hard to understand that people here might do differently to you and not rack up a lot of gamer female acquaintances ? It is rather unremarkable though, as the quote indicated, to meet people in an environment where you'd expect them to show as opposed to surveying a subway car.

Well, it's like being a sports fan that watches a match occasionally or one that knows every player in the squad and watches every match. Rather meaningless distinction, for sure, but it is what it is - a level of involvement.

Well, from some things I read about id Romero was a bit of a drama queen. Fittingly one could compare Quinn and what she's alleged to have done with Case and what people say about her. Should look up and see what Smart is up to, these days.

I'm just curious. Where on earth did TrueNeutral say any of that? Is that some Anti-SJW knee-jerk reaction you just added to vent? Or did I miss a really interesting discussion by not reading this entire thread? I never wrote he said that, though, hope that satisfies your 'curiosity'. Plenty of places I've read commenting on this article have been pretty deluded enough to assume what I wrote above though, strange people these days. But was just a general sense of everyone else shrugging at this. Not seeing why he would be 'concerned' about something as trivial as women playing games, though. Game market is way larger than when I was younger and more accessible, heh, so follows there'll be a lot of women playing these days than before, at least in PC anyway - I imagine were more console ones back then and now.

Waiting for the Glorious 2.1 patch before I return to (read:play for a bit then get bored again) D3. Crusader is pretty fun, feels quite tanky to play.

So your anecdotal evidence trumps theirs ? Most are just not seeing this is heralding a new age of social justice aware games with female protagonists that check all the boxes to not be sexist, etc. I suppose if the majority of developers were women this might be a consideration, but consumers, eh..

Hope any of you in California weren't affected by the quake.

Miss the likes of Romero and Derek Smart

HURR DURR FEMINISM IS TEH EVULZ Easy there SJW

Reported

Quinn also faked a doxing and her being the victim of a raid by Disney fans. Well that and complaining about nudes out there that she herself willingly put out there. So pretty believable she'd be sleazy to do that. Everyone involved in this can burn, but it's delightful entertainment. Fish hasn't killed himself yet, but give it time. Though in the end it will be spun as innocent female developer being victimized by nerds online. Walker, Kuchera and others will write scolding articles, and so on. Quinn will end up getting a lot of money out of this too

"Literals. Such as numbers and strings" I have no idea.

Meant Bruce and his low SJW-morale

Just don't have a meltdown like Phil Fish did again - http://imgur.com/uDIaZkE Funny guy, that Fish.

Ah, people want theirs used in that case. Most of the stuff I found identified it as a beta. Ah well, don't imagine such aspersions will get any grip
