    But this whole " furore" around the update about Kingdom isn't an issue at all because those websites did release the update but it was delayed? So in fact this is a none issue. I still don't agree that if a gaming website doesn't release every single update about every single game within a time frame that means there is a conspiracy. I still believe that any gaming website doesn't have to release updates about any game if it doesn't want to. But a gaming website does have a responsibility to review games objectively based on the merits of the games and not let there opinions of the developers cloud there judgement. Because then there reviews won't be based on valid metrics So in the case of KIngdom I still don't see the issue or how this supports your view around the gaming journalist conspiracy?

    True, but it wouldn't be childish. If I was in charge of a website like RPS and I really had an issue with someone I probably wouldn't post anything about there games. But it would have to be an issue around something serious, like if the company was homophobic. Its optional what content these websites post

    That's my point, we seem to making assumptions. And that is not helpful if you want to base your argument on facts which I assume we all want to do?

    How do you guys know that those websites you mentioned decided to intentionally delay posting that trailer about Kingdom? Also how do you know if they did delay it was because of GG, I'm missing the connection?

    then ignore the posts and don't reply i do that,simple solution Ignore them,pal,i'm not there in other forums complaining about you exchanging your own views on a game or 'full of ****ing threads' of rants and opinions i should call them out as well so if you don't have any significant arguments about this game,you can leave right now yeah,they're more original than people being rude to those who want to tell their own opinions on a forum it looks i'm on BSN and not on the Obsidian forums,i wasn't aware of people being so 'nice' to newbies,no it's even worse than BSN,when i told my long textwall rant nobody complained,they either 1)Told that they agreed or disagreed 2)ignored my post and moved on the next one it's so hard for you? you jump on the throat of every guy who dares tell his opinion here? nope i never got banned on BSN,i post on whatever bothers me,Skyrim,oblivion,you name it Guys I don't mean to stick the knife in but this post actually highlights a real problem at times on these forums New people come here to make posts and they treated rudely. My advice is just to consider what you say to people you don't know on the forums. You may think you joking but that's not how the person see's it. You also don't need to post on any thread you think is silly to tell people you think its silly , just leave it alone. Once again I don't mean to lecture people but something needs to be said

    that's cheeky and you know it I assumed she wouldn't get it because somethings are lost in translation and English isn't her first language. She also seemed to be asking a real question. But I may be wrong, maybe she can confirm ?
  7. BruceVC
    That's exactly what I thought you said earlier, so I did get it But that has nothing to do with this being a joke "rant" and that is what I was explaining to Qistina, she mustn't think this is a legitimate rant.
  8. BruceVC
    Don't worry Qistina this is not a valid and real " rant " post like you made, this is a " false " rant post in order to highlight how silly some people think legitimate rant posts are. I explained this to you once already, but if you don't get it then so be it. Not sure I do get you, can you explain it again ?

    False, I am a SJW. I am legion, I want you to not think that I am just one poster. That's you not seeing the big ideological picture. I know many SJW who I can guarantee you don't think that all white, males gamers are rapists That's a fact !!!

    Yes Gamasutra is a website where the "reviled" feminist Leigh Alexander posts on, so it has become one of the websites that many people on GG see as the enemy But the realty is its an excellent and informative website that discusses many important and interesting articles about the gaming industry. You should go there yourself and see, it offers a very mature view on all things related to gaming They do support feminists and are opposed to the abuse Zoe Quinn received but this is small part of what overall the website offers I used to be on Gamasutra a lot, until for every two pieces that gave insight into the game industry and PR reports there was one feminist one. Leight Alexander is Editor in Chief of (I think) it was the blogging section and she had no qualms taking down blogs to censor speech she didn't agree with. If Gamasutra wants to remake themselves from a developer hub into a feminist site, that's their right but if this is just her actions then they deserve to know what's going on. Its interesting that is your observation because that really hasn't been my experience. I think the number of feminist articles they post compared to normal articles about gaming are maybe 1 in 20? Just take at the website now and you'll see what they are discussing

    Okay we need to watch and see what happens. IMO we won't see many companies doing what Intel did for the reasons I explained, but I am not a real prognosticator and base my views on evidence and how business works. So lets see what happens with other companies

    I'm a SJW and I don't think you are rapist just because you are white, male gamer. I publically acknowledge that. There you go, your expectation has been achieved. Are you happy now?
  15. BruceVC
    I hear you and that's a reasonable view But do you see the issue? Firstly as we discussed and agreed on without advertisements most websites will close down. So lets say your objective is get to websites like RPS and Gamasutra to close down for what they have said in the past on certain issues. And the way you would achieve this is through putting pressure on the likes of Intel to pull there marketing funding, this is highly unlikely because to pull there marketing due to an movement like GG that would mean these corporations would be aligning with a movement that is associated with sexism. And that's the point I'm trying to make. You won't find large corporations doing this as we can see from the apology from Intel So again I just don't realistically see how you will achieve your goal? The reality is the aspirations of GG are not as important or significant as the influence of movements that are opposed to sexism or espouse gender equality, like feminist movements
  16. BruceVC
    But Volo what were you expecting from the outcome of GG? Do you think they will be able to close down websites like RPS and Gamasutra, is that the outcome you want?

    Its a bright new world Keyrock fulled with young and enthusiastic pioneers who have there own interpretation of history and events. The best thing people like you and me can do is just sit on the porch, smoke our pipes and reminisce about the old days and " how good they were "
  18. BruceVC
    Gee that's a surprise, so is this still considered the solid victory that you were expecting from the outcome of GG? This apologetic response was inevitable. Considering the fact the perception that exists around GG. As I mentioned in previous posts corporations don't like to be associated with people or organisations that are in any way in contempt of social justice issues, its a bad image for them. So rightly or wrongly GG has a perception of being sexist purely because most prominent feminist are opposed to it But good find by the way, this is an interesting link

    I think they are delaying the release because they want to include Romance, it makes sense if you think about all the support for it
  20. BruceVC
    That to me just sounds like some kind of excuse and justification for developers not having to be concerned with things like gender representation in games
  21. BruceVC
    I'm down for a Lovecraft adventure game. Same, I think its a genre that still has loads of exploration and gaming interpretation

    Oh he was talking about the one confirmed case in Texas, I see what you mean

    Questions like that can never inappropriate I still want to pursue the relationship but I have to be a little cautious because of the whole work dynamic. So right now we are good friends and that is working fine for me. She also has a 5 year old daughter who is awesome and very cute but I need to be certain this is what I want because I don't want to mess her around emotionally, I hope this makes sense and doesn't make me sound shallow?

    Hardly. Well its definitely an indictment to a countries government , and a serious one. But its not a questions of refusing but rather being ineffectual The Ebola virus that is spreading through Western Africa wouldn't haven't happened in most other countries because institutions exist that would have quite quickly put steps in place to prevent the spread. But in these African countries there is a breakdown of what most of you would consider normal and working state departments whose job it is to address these types of events
