Archon 13098 POSTED: 30 August 2014 9:37 pm General Manager & Publisher Hello, forum-goers. I'm the co-founder of The Escapist and its publisher/GM since issue 1. You don't hear much from me most days as l've been promoted to manage 12 different sites at Defy, but I still watch and listen and where necessary I act. l just wanted to briefly share three things: 1. We take our journalistic integrity very seriously. Thank you to those who pointed out where we had erred. It is not easy to find the balance in a world where hard news is instantly commodified, and editorialized news dominates traffic via Upworthy and Buzzfeed, Twitter and Facebook. Mr. Tito is working hard to make sure the team as a whole does better in clarifying what is news and what is opinion. You should have seen the effects of this in some of our recent news posts. Posts: 943 Joined: 12 Nov 2002 2. There have been some Twitter posts by our contributors that have been vitriolic and inflammatory towards large segments of gamers. These appeared in our Escapist Twitter feed, which has up until now included all of our talent. For the record, those posts do not reflect my opinion or The Escapist's opinion. We will be adjusting the standards which Escapist contributors have to follow in order to appear on our Twitter feed. Thank you to those who brought this to my attention. 3. The Escapist was founded on the notion that to be a gamer is to be more than just someone who plays games - it is to be a game enthusiast. Being a game enthusiast is associated with a particular lifestyle and interests, a culture. Every field of leisure has its enthusiast culture, be it foodie culture, cinephile culture, gearhead culture, etc. Since issue 1, The Escapist has been about gamer culture. This is why, as we have grown The Escapist, we have expanded it into other things that are of interest to gamers - sci/tech comics, tabletop games rather than into games that are not of interest to them. We will continue to use the word gamer to mean games enthusiast. We do not believe that gamer culture needs to die because non-gamers play games anymore than we believe gearhead culture needs to die because non-gearheads drive cars or foodie culture needs to die because non-foodies eat. I will be posting a Publisher's Note later that elaborates more later this week. I need to consult with our top editors when they get back from PAX. This post isn't meant to de-rail your thread, simply a clarification of a few points that have been brought to me personally. Carry on.
