GamesMaster interview with Eiji Aonuma (The Legend of Zelda)

"Occasionally I receive messages from fans telling me how playing Zelda games has changed their lives. While of course this makes me incredibly happy to hear, I feel a great sense of responsibility as well, so part of me feels that developers putting their own ideologies in games is kind of scary."

He hit the nail right on the head

to be fair tho, for most people the game has to be good first

According to this developer if we don't have the review of the latest version of the game, it's unfair. Releasing broken games is unfair too

ChristCenteredGamer

The developer of Ginger Roll is unhappy with our review and I gave them 2 tries already, done with it, not a beta tester.

The makers of Ginger Roll are unhappy with us. Gave the game two chances. Refusing to take down our review to warn parents of IAPs

GINGER ROLL

It looks there is something fishy in their business model, they charge you for every life you use in the game.

Price: .99 for the app and lives to play the main game are $5-$112
5 = 30 lives, 112 = 1 000 lives and 200 cookies that are game money to buy things in the game.
Well at least part of the money goes to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

Wait, so she's not actually leaving?

Leigh Alexander is leaving Offworld, MexPirateRed made a joke that she's already been forgotten by everybody.

So not Gamer Gate related, but censorship related Fox Latinamerica cut 4 minutes of the Deadpool movie to make it PG 13, then claims the movie is a PG 13 movie and say they didnt censored the movie.
Past year they did the same to Kingsman, you cant get the uncensored version on Blu Ray or DVD, only the censored is being sold in latin america.

Should i post this in KiA or Wheartham in Action?

r/movies would be a great place for it, and it would reach a wider audience. In KIA you just aren't going to have the same impact.

He's probably going to get shadowbanned or otherwise censored for it. The streisand effect will prevail though.

Anyone know what this is? Is this for real?

It is.

Twitter is officially beyond any sort of turnaround at this point, at least short of someone buying a majority and firing everyone still employed there.

Say guys what is your opinion on fire emblem fates? and should I buy it used?

If they insist on having it censored, then yes, buy it used

I think the game itself looks pretty cool, and I would like to buy it as soon as I can, even though it has been censored some (I thought the petting game would be kind of fun). If the you feel strongly enough about the censorship thing, then buy it used.

The good thing about free market, is that people that does what Anita and co. says, will lose tons of money and will be forced to change.

Twitter is losing money, this will just make things worst, if a huge company like Twitter dies, will work as evidence this people is just full of shit and has no fucking clue what they are doing.

Literally who dropped the charges against Eron.
That'll make for a great blockbuster!

Hold on, I just want to make sure of this.
THIS set of images is a joke. I know that.

I also know that Zoe was very eager to have the charges dropped because they were based on lies and not even her 3/4 grand an hour lawyers could sqweezle her out of that.
BUT, if I remember correctly, the judge wasn't going to let them drop anything because such a big deal was made out of this, and he wanted to hear what Enron had to say, etcetera and so forth.

He didn't actually let the charges drop, did he?

one way of the other, it does not seem like Quinn will be putting-up much of a fight

Well according to the information on KIA, Eron Gjoni did not and was continuing with the charge to make sure something like this couldn't happen again.

However, Zoe Quinn's blog tells her logic as to dropping the case:

That said, Eron's Twitter is now going nuts with questions to confirm what's going on:
Twitter link that's constantly updating

Wow what a little hero. She's so brave, standing up to the system. In a hundred years, she will be looked on as the brave little girl who said no to the patriarchy, and put a stop to all this victim-blaming. /s

Don't kid yourself, she dropped them because she knows she won't win. All she does now is to make money. She draws attention to herself to get more money on patreon, because pretending to be the person all of Gamergate is out to hurt is very profitable.

All she did was dress that post up in a wall of 'oh poor me', and 'it's so hard being a woman' just to make it sound believable. She's just a really bad liar.

In her "game," she claimed that inspirations for it came from her own experiences with depression.

After actually playing the miserable pile of code, and taking into account everything that she's done over the course of her "career," that was proven to be false.

In all likely-hood, she never experienced any real depression, and lied about the whole thing. It was all a ploy to garner sympathy (or whatever she wanted) for a game that was anything but.
If she experienced anything at all, it was not depression, but simply having to live with herself. Something akin to conviction of the soul, but her being herself, that simply is not allowed.

As for the video in question? (WARNING! TRIGGERING LANGUAGE)

Dawkins had a stroke. Expect some nasty posts on the internet.

Hey guys remember when Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn got into the UN to talk to them how the internet "wasn't a safe place for women"? Well take a look at this.

Twitter's decline is primarily due to the fact that most users can't really get involved. It's great for celebrities and companies that have tens of thousands or millions of followers, but @Pokefan96 is lucky to get a few dozen and anything he posts will just be like pissing into a sea of piss--lost in the millions of other tweets that no one reads. After a couple weeks of this, he gives up and spends his time elsewhere.

Facebook, meanwhile, connects friends and families together and allows long-term discussions and bonding to occur. Pokefan96 may still only have a few dozen followers friends, but he likely talks with them and comments on their content daily--and they with his. Thus, he stays on Facebook and they make money.

It doesn't really have much to do with Gamergate's rise or the evil patriarchal harassing microassaults.

Oh dear, do we have to make the UN apologize again?

Being the Illuminati requires so much work.

You know i was being sarcastic and joking about this, right?, they blamed Gamer Gate again for something Twitter itself caused.

So, what do you think?

I think it sucks that a bunch of people are out of a job… but it shows you just how behind the curve GT was. You can't have 20 people running a YouTube channel and expect to stay afloat… the costs are just too much.

Also why is that guy being so rude about it? I'm not familiar with him, but he doesn't seem to have any sympathy whatsoever to the people who lost their jobs. It's not their fault that GT went under, it's Defy Media's, the holding company that owned them. They were the ones who didn't cut costs and reshuffle the format of the company.

Welp, he made a rant about the site a couple years ago that he used some footage of at the beginning of the video I showed. He also leveled criticism against them in years past also, such as when he reviewed Dragon Age 2 and noted how the GameTrailers review for the game had a lot of Dragon Age 2 advertisements surrounding the video for it, and was unsurprisingly given a score of 9.2 (despite some serious flaws, which sounds pretty unethical to me).

He mentions the game's review scores near the end.

His rant on GameTrailers:

While they may not be some clickbait, agenda-driven site like Kotaku or Polygon, some of what they've done with reviewing is certainly deserving of criticism. I just wish some other select sites would have gone before this one.

Things like GameTrailers are why I am pro-GG. I definitely don't like how the politics is presented, but I also don't like reviews being bought and paid for, or at least seriously influenced by ad revenue.
