π¨π¨ UPDATE: The writer of The Verge Gamergate 2 hit piece openly ADMITTED to having a one-sided agenda, they did NOT want to put an accurate timeline of events into the story, so they could depict Sweet Baby Inc as VICTIMS who didn't harass the Steam curator group!!

Jack Thompson's legacy lives on, in the form of fat blue hairs and subversion of vidya from "consulting" firms staffed with blue hairs.

They hire people like this because they'll work cheaply and the industry is tanking, they write bad stuff which causes the industry to tank further, they hire people who will work even cheaper

βAfter it was explained to me, I understood completely. Our preconceptions and ideological necessities are the truth. Period. And facts? Facts just get in the way.β
Goddarn, I didn't even really care about this whole thing until they started fricking whining about being called out. They really just don't learn.
βOooh, acktually, (what we are saying is the problem is that) the majority of video game stuff is done by white men. So, (what we are trying to implement, which is the exact topic at hand,) DEI in gaming is not even happening, actually.β
This last is from that other twat who can't play video games yet reviews them

They'll never stop covering for each other. Their industry is deeply nepotistic, and they'll always defend the people in their in-group.
But I find it interesting that they actively seem to want another gaymergay. Journos control the narrative, so they could easily choose not to frame it as G*mergate 2 if they wanted to.
My guess is the first G*mer Intifada was actually a positive for them. It gave them a chance to stake out their positions and offer a show of force. If they're calling for another, it's because they're insecure in their positions (due to layoffs and increasing dissatisfaction with the games industry) and want a chance to regroup and show they're still in control.
And it's a weaker narrative this time too, "a bunch of sweaty g*mers harassing women out of game development" is a much more compelling and lurid narrative than "a harassment campaign against a consulting corporation" which is borderline nonsensical.
So, no, it probably won't achieve anything in itself, but I'm not sure things are looking great for journos.

Goomergate is when both sides lose.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Unironically gaymergate was the watershed moment when the broader culture started to really spiral out of control.
With autismos realizing the intellectual/journo class hates them for not being heckin' wholesome and journos realizing that, unlike in academia, you can't keep talking down to people and expect them not to chud out.
When leftoids cry that goobergate led to trumpism they are somewhat correct but for the wrong reason.

I think a lot of it was people realizing just how obsessive our social engineers are--they can't even tolerate you not being manipulated for any length of time.

As long as g*mers keep buying g*merslop nothing will change.
It's one industry that can be influenced by consumer choice.
But g*mers are the most cucked demographic. Just look at what they let devs get away with.

Check Steam groups about boycotting a game and almost without fail a bunch of the members are playing it.
Oblivion horse armor was the big turning point in game devs realizing how easy of a mark most g*mers are.

What about the fact that no one bought the games the group listed? The only one people cared about was spider man 2, and that's because people are obsessed with him.

Those games didn't fail because they were DEI-infested, they failed because they were also completely shit in every other regard.

Yeah, that's usually what I do. If there's a game I want to play day 1 I'll pay full price for it but I very rarely buy new games, mostly just look for stuff that sounds interesting and wait for it to go on sale.

GG1: journos decide to ignore the big picture (complaints about corruption in video gayme journ*lism) to focus on the small picture (gaymers harrasing women)
GG2: journos decide to focus on the big picture (gaymers not liking DEI policys in gayming) so they can avoid focusing on the small picture (DEI company tried to launch an harrasment campaign against a steam group)
