Legitimately curious. #GamerGate ok To: Alexander Hinkley Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2013 9:59 AM Mike Sacco @mikesacco 55m @leviathansmile @GamingAndPandas @Xander756 @mahoumelonball I have at least two of the people in this conversation blocked, so pass Ouya The problem was the extremely negative reaction from major gaming developers, publishers and public relations people. With the moves we're trying to make with our Games writers, we can't have people burning bridges like this. Our company has a delicate relationship with the gaming industry as it is, and this was something we had to act swiftly on Alex Hinkley @Xander756-36m GamingAndPandas Sure. A little over a year ago I wrote an article about bloated salaries of devs and publishers at the top of the industry We wish there was another alternatively, but given the situation, we had no choice. Steve Ruygrok On Jun 29, 2013, at 7:47 AM, Alexander Hinkley 『wrote Alex Hinkley Xander 756-35m @GamingAndPandas The article used cited numbers from verifiable sources, passed Examiner's editorial review team, then went viral Can you explain what was wrong with the article, though? Everything I wrote in that article was cited with easily verifiable references What exactly was the issue with it? And why was OUYA review taken down? Alex Hinkley @Xander756-35m GamingAndPandas After that, "major" developers and publishers demanded Examiner fire me and they did so as to "not hurt relationships" Alex Hinkley @Xander756-10m @UniteMorph @eat_1337 @GamingAndPandas @Riddle 1965 NERO I Crossed a line in who I reported on apparently .imgur.com/CcerrEd.png Alex Hinkley @Xander756 34m From: Steven To: Alexander Hinkley Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2013 10:19 AM ok @GamingAndPandas In other words it didn't matter if what I wrote was correct They wanted to keep getting free stuff & access Lo-Ping@GamingAndPandas-33m Yes you should be paid all your earnings, including the ones from yesterday Xander756 Link to the article? Any way to show a direct causative link to your This is a business and what you wrote negatively impacted us in a significant way. I'm not going to argue points of right and wrong in the article. This was damaging to our company, Alex. That in and of itself is grounds for firing, period Alex Hinkley @Xander756-32m @GamingAndPandas I got an email from my channel manager saying it flat out & that it was because they didn't want to harm relationships Your review was taken down for damage control reasons, but again you should be paid all your earnings from your work through yesterday I really wish this didn't happen, but you take responsibility for the things you publish. There are limits and boundaries you can't cross and when it comes down to our company, there nothing we will compromise for the sake of views and visibility. I'm sorry Alex but this is final man. Alex Hinkley Xander 756-35m Steve GamingAndPandas I went on @hiphopgamer show about this shortly after it happened youtube.com/watch?v=1V-ckk., watch?V-1V ckKZ HbQ

_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26
