Mark Kern nukes gaming press, officially devs to stand up to gaming press!

the problem with the industry ia the harassment

For fuck sakes

You have attention seekers on Twitter who are out to profit off of creating controversy. They make controversy. They poke internet trolls. The trolls 'attack them' over Twitter, and now the gaming industry is ruined?

You have Anita, whom directly profits from controversy and cant differentiate between fake Twitter accounts if she tried.

You have Wu who is absolutely off her rocker, makes blatant lies up, encourages harassment, and she made a really shitty game. She played the victim card (surrpise thats all she does) on steam forums and fought with steam community managers, attacking them personally, over legitimate criticisms about her shit game.

You have Leighan who is like Wu, but even less relevant to games, and she too encourages harassment.

Their "harassment" and 90% of content related to them has nothing to do with games or game development. Anita's criticisms about games are about the closest content to the actual development and consumption of games. And I actually do not think that the criticisms she has are the reason behind the supposed 'harassment', its the name she made for herself by being high and mighty about it and subsequent money pandering.

So how its the harassment of these 3 almost RANDOM people who arent even apart of the industry is 'ruining it' is beyond me and anyone else. The only reason anyone would perceive this as true is because thats what the MEDIA made it out to be. Which is why this exists in the fucking fiiiiiiiiiiiiiirst place. Its not rocket science.

And no I didnt forget Quinn. Quinn is the least significant individual in this matter. Her shitstorm may have transpired a lot about how we consume media, but to act like Quinnspiracy wasnt the center of nothing but INTERNET CULTURE is beyond stupidity. More so than anyone else. The night that shit went down have of reddit was being pruned and moderated. You could be a politics or idk art person, had so few fucks about video games, you knew and participated in the Quinn shit that night on reddit. It was ALL over. It had so little to do with the video game industry it makes me sick when people try to play her card in relation to video games.
