I see him around for a long time but never felt the need to watch his stuff that often. Everything that I've heard about him has been negative. His gendered slurs, his picking on some small indie nobody (who is a twat, sure, but it's still hitting down), his endless sycophantic critique against...

It's overhyped uninspired garbage, just like every Bioware game since EA.

Like pointed out, not many games are actually based around killing/beating up stuff, usually that's just part of gameplay but not everything. On the flip side, even hipster indie games like Braid and Broken Age have violence, and one could argue some of their levels ARE based around...

I like how most of the "evil" female characters brought up are player-creations and player-controlled, whose gender are mostly irrelevant to begin with. And I see we dug up a figure from the 80s to prove that benevolent sexism don't exist in 2014. Nice. I really wish that kind of sexism...

Indeed, their actions are indefensible. And that's why some people are desperately trying to muddle the water/derail the discussion just so they don't have to address it. Unless they want to go FullMoviebob and start claiming the end justifies the means. It's the same mental gymnastics that...

Agree with everyone on Bioware. Good god the tokenism and the cringe writing. They used to be ok, DAO's treatment was subtle and decent. But then they started employing tumblr. Some games from Japan outright monetizes LGBT for consumption by the mostly hetero audience. I'm split on that...

Then: Hitman encourages the player to kill female characters! Now: GTA V encourages the player to kill female characters! Same bald-faced lie, same shaming tactic. Same hypocrites and useful idiots whose kneejerk response is to defend liars. IIRC that petition site even asks you to...

Tim and the people he hangs out with (eg DJ Fish) are not only un-professional, they seem to take pride in it. I lost all faith in Tim when I saw the way he behaved towards his fans, and the way he kept using indie as an excuse. Speaking as a backer, I would be very surprised if BA2 comes...

Okay this is legitimately funny. Thank you OP, Poe's law in full effect.

Speaking of harassment, I wish they'd provided some of the million cases of threats and doxxing against Gamergate supporters. I guess it'll have to wait for another time. EIther way, very happy to see the mainstream media actually being nuanced in their approach of GG. From now on, the...

Really enjoyed the interview. You know their narrative is breaking down when even Huffpo is covering our voices. CNN also gave a neutral and well-researched article. All this following Brianna making a fool of herself screaming at a disabled person and BBC giving us a fair assessment...

Still adorable. Nice talking to you too. Try again when you're not demanding consumers to do journalists' job for them.

You think? All of which, in the past. Nice of you to nail it so eloquently for me tho. Jim Sterling is a hypocrite because he only stands up for consumers against certain parties. I like your comparison with Kain, who despite staying neutral, has actively engaged with Gamergate and called...

Oh I think it's quite courageous of him. Very golfclap worthy. Question is, why is Jim incapable of turning that courage towards condemning professional journalists who failed at disclosure? Why does he ignore writers who had to add disclosures to their articles sneakily and refuse to...

The reports of Gamers' death are greatly exaggerated. Good luck discussing with Gamers who you proclaim to be dead.
