Susan Arendt Your boss is a chickenshit who had no problem playing in Lake GamerGate until some of that ire got directed at him. He was more than happy to throw every single person who works there to the wolves, so long as he was the hero, and ooooh! got to talk to a TV star! His bosses don't care about anything other than a P&L sheet It's up to you guys to defend yourselves. Unless things have changed drastically, Jim, you're fairly bulletproof. You're too valuable to fire. Obviously, this is all very easy for me to say, and I'm naturally biased, but I find that idea that you're not being allowed to speak your mind to be absolutely repellant. 23 mins Like 4 Jim Sterling Ive not been shy about telling them that their recent behavior has caused me to put out feelers for other jobs. I don't "want" to leave the company because I love working with the people there, but I want the higher ups to give me "something* here, because I feel I offer any employer a prety damn good deal and I am sure others would like to take the offer 15 mins . Like 2 4 lan Miles Cheong Pluck those chickens 13 mins Like Leigh Alexander I think you don't need 'em anymore, Jim. You could run your own s--- like Lees does, and no one could tell you anything

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

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

So he wants special treatment for doing a segment that he doesn't really care about anymore. Yeah, right, no. Even if the Escapist was just doing damage control with their ethic's program /-which the SJW's are claiming is what is happening/- You wouldn't be entitled to any special treatment for doing your job. Maybe a raise every once and a while if you're a frontrunner.

Lets face it Jim, You wanna cover for your buddies. You started out trying to be pro consumer and slightly progressive and now you are just covering for your buddies. Even when they are doing things that rival EA or Ubisoft in terms of industry destroying.

For what respect I had for you and your moderate transparency I'll give you some doubt. However I have lost that respect for all the digs you have been shooting at GG for asking others to do what you do moderately.
