Totillo Claims That Gamer Celebration Article Wasn't a 180

Stephen Totilo Django Yesterday 7:07pm Django Stephen Totilo Yesterday 1:22pm I find this a nice 180 after the whole "Gamers are dead" spitting match between gaming journalists and gamergate. Rather than threatening gamers in a childish manner (And losing intel as an advertiser) you are now taking the high road and not pushing for the super-political ethical battles through video games. Kotaku, I commend you on actually backing away from the controversy by not posting as much about Anita and her gang as of late. The way to make it all go away is to not pick a side and let the gamergaters and their adversaries fight their own war. Choosing sides only leads to lost revenue for you. Soooo good on you Kotaku. On a side note: Let's not lose track of what us gamers actually do ;) I am currently sitting here with my new intel i5 469ok, waiting to install it into my new PC build for christmas. It will be purring alongside my EVGA 970 FTW edition. I can't wait to play me some Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, Assassin's Creed: Unity, and Alien: Isolation. This is no 18o, and we didn't "threaten" gamers before. We're also not backing away from covering "Anita and her gang".I think Anita Sarkeesian's videos have been a useful added perspective about the cliches game creators often resort to when depicting women. Confident creators can absorb that technique and react to it or discard it as they will. o As for us, we will always champion the f gamers, game creators and g themselves. We'll always prefer that doors are open for more types of people to feel There are a ton of things to cover in gaming, and we do our best to cover as much as possible. For better or worse, we do relatively few stories about class, gender, ethnicity and the like-certainly compared to thousands of stories we publish per year-but it doesn't mean that my team and I don't think that it's important to look at games and the gaming scene through those lenses. We'll continue to do so. I am against the shittiness of the style of argument we've seen so much these last few months... the hounding and haranguing and the disinterest in treating other people like, well, people. It sounds like that's part of what you're reacting to, and while we may disagree about how the situation became so rotten, my hope that 2015 is a year of finding common ground for more Lower your expectations for Unity and, as Luke suggests, play it in French with English subtitles.
