As a minority with nothing to gaiın from the attention, I default to becoming a man in anonymous public spaces With the explosion of the GamerGate movement online, I'm going to start correcting people again. Senior government and politics major Concentrated in the video gaming community, GamerGate started in August with the harassment of indie developer Zoe Quinn. Nathan Grayson, a writer for Kotaku, wrote about a game show on which Quinn was featured shortly before they entered a romantic relationship. Grayson only disclosed his relationship to Steven Totilo, Kotaku's editor-in-chief, after the public found out. Despite arguments to the contrary, Quinn maintained that attacks against her were launched by women-haters We must force gaming reporters into disclosure. If journalists support indie projects attend review events or donate to developers, they should disclose it. The response Tracey Lien of Polygon disclosed (and later pulled) that she got free water at a media event. Anita Sarkeesian, known among gamers for the harassment she faced during the creation of her series Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, then returned to the spotlight. Her latest episode attacks using women as background decoration in games, which I agree is an issue, but it came across as intentionally badly researched. I supported the movement for canning it, because her blind bad-mouthing stood in the way of real rhetoric Quinn's sex life is not the crux of this issue, and Sarkeesian doesn't deserve to be attacked for anything other than misrepresenting the voice of a minority. The harassment they both faced was wrong. The developers decided to leave the industry after online harassment, is the worst outcome and not at all what GamerGate was trying to achieve.

I just want to put something in perspective Video game sales in the US dropped 21% in 2013 >Sony in financial dire straits >Wii U isn't selling as well as expected Let's be honest here for a minute - It isn't just s----- journalism, s----- games, and scrubs, the video game industry is crashing You might not see it immediately, but the ripple effect of GG will be felt for years to come. The damage has already been done. Sponsors are going to continue to back out, because a certain group of journos decided to make video games a political blogging battleground When these hipster sites have a nobody journalist putting Intel on blast and accusing them of misogyny, boldly discussing business relationships on public social media, other companies are noticing that this is no longer a safe place to push their products to a receptive audience. These are multinational corporations, their allegiance lies with the customer, and they will continue wanting nothing to do with affiliates who openly and proudly drive away their customers and make high-school level insults against far their own (far superior) business partners When it comes time for those sponsors to renew their contracts, they wont want anything to do with either side of this debate. They'll back out completely. The mainstream video game market will crash like 1983. Mark my words I'm a dev. I have a lot of connections in tech. Even in this day and age, it's extremely unprofessional for respected people in the industry to say a single thing about their personal life - whether it be sexuality, marital status, and especially political affiliation. Openly discussing such things in public is seen as toxic behavior in the upper brass any industry. It's a one-way road to alienating potential clients, customers, and partners Business is business, home is home These journalists no longer serve their function to anyone not their sponsors, the devs who butter them up for reviews, nor the consumers. They are a barrier between the consumer and the product When the market crashes, you're going to see a lot of smaller devs come out of the woodwork. Their games probably wont be as pretty as the latest AAA has gotten everyone used to, but I can assure you they'll be great games. Just like the ones we used to see. The only people left after the dust settles will be the developers who love making games, and the consumers who love playing them. You've already won, GG. The media wouldn't be in such a frenzy to denounce you if you had lost. Theyve failed to contain you. Your reach extends to the "Chans, Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, and beyond. You are the new audience. You are the people that we will be making games for from here on out At this point, you're just twisting the knife. Keep it up, they deserve every bit of it. Nobody wants to see them in the industry - but at the same time, most devs and sponsors arent dumb enough to Tweet about it. We're too busy working to continue providing the goods and services you hold dear. Unlike the megaphones, we're not just going to talk about it, because we're already too busy doing it](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/000/850/942/6d1.png)
![File (hide): 14137954 (72.18 KB, 1538x898, 788:449, o-ATARI-LANDFILL-facebook.ipg) Watch The Leader of Gamergate 10/20/14 (Mon) 19:57:47 ID: 97b27d No.205693 Thread] Devfag here. I just want to put something in perspective Video game sales in the US dropped 21% in 2013 >Sony in financial dire straits >Wii U isn't selling as well as expected Let's be honest here for a minute - It isn't just s----- journalism, s----- games, and scrubs, the video game industry is crashing You might not see it immediately, but the ripple effect of GG will be felt for years to come. The damage has already been done. Sponsors are going to continue to back out, because a certain group of journos decided to make video games a political blogging battleground When these hipster sites have a nobody journalist putting Intel on blast and accusing them of misogyny, boldly discussing business relationships on public social media, other companies are noticing that this is no longer a safe place to push their products to a receptive audience. These are multinational corporations, their allegiance lies with the customer, and they will continue wanting nothing to do with affiliates who openly and proudly drive away their customers and make high-school level insults against far their own (far superior) business partners When it comes time for those sponsors to renew their contracts, they wont want anything to do with either side of this debate. They'll back out completely. The mainstream video game market will crash like 1983. Mark my words I'm a dev. I have a lot of connections in tech. Even in this day and age, it's extremely unprofessional for respected people in the industry to say a single thing about their personal life - whether it be sexuality, marital status, and especially political affiliation. Openly discussing such things in public is seen as toxic behavior in the upper brass any industry. It's a one-way road to alienating potential clients, customers, and partners Business is business, home is home These journalists no longer serve their function to anyone not their sponsors, the devs who butter them up for reviews, nor the consumers. They are a barrier between the consumer and the product When the market crashes, you're going to see a lot of smaller devs come out of the woodwork. Their games probably wont be as pretty as the latest AAA has gotten everyone used to, but I can assure you they'll be great games. Just like the ones we used to see. The only people left after the dust settles will be the developers who love making games, and the consumers who love playing them. You've already won, GG. The media wouldn't be in such a frenzy to denounce you if you had lost. Theyve failed to contain you. Your reach extends to the "Chans, Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, and beyond. You are the new audience. You are the people that we will be making games for from here on out At this point, you're just twisting the knife. Keep it up, they deserve every bit of it. Nobody wants to see them in the industry - but at the same time, most devs and sponsors arent dumb enough to Tweet about it. We're too busy working to continue providing the goods and services you hold dear.
