The popularity of let's plays makes me think that people don't actually like to play games. Hell some games probably have more LP views than sales.

icantfindaname posted:give the link http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechcon...mpaign=business Just played on the radio but it will be available at 7. They interviewed Zoe and leigh alexander. The whole thing was just about Zoe and Anita being threatened and having to leave their homes. I mean, jesus gamergate is stupid but NPR usually goes to great lengths to be completely unbiased and report both sides. Not to mention this is going to open the whole thing back up again.

CrazyLittle posted:Spacebase did not break even and likely never will. They didn't get enough money to pay for future development a la Minecraft. The game won't have everything on the "wish list" of features but that's not a goalpost that determines "finished/unfinished." Never kickstart/early-access/pay-for-beta versions of games. Tim Schafer already commented on all of this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/246090/discussions/0/613936673464943075/ You should kickstart games from companies or people who don't have a track record of being incompetent. Wasteland 2 came out fine.

Trapezium Dave posted:But what is the other side from the perspective of NPR? A game blogger called gamers names? Game journalists like to talk about poo poo with other game journalists? It doesn't matter they should still get airtime to present their case. NPR goes on and on and on about how fair they are and how they go to great lengths to present both sides fairly. My guess is if this ever made it to the Diane Rehm show that's exactly what they would do but my guess is that the other side wouldn't want to participate in that.

Trapezium Dave posted:But what is the other side from the perspective of NPR? A game blogger called gamers names? Game journalists like to talk about poo poo with other game journalists? The other side could be that a bunch of the game journos from the mailing list tried to bully another game journo for not toeing the party line: https://medium.com/@ryansmithwriter/a-weird-insider-culture-d1c3cc644c29 quote:It only got worse after Breitbart recently published a leaked thread from the GameJournosPros group that discussed coverage of the Zoe Quinn affair. In the group, I questioned where these journalists drew the line in terms of covering salacious stories involving sources and asked if they’d actually examined evidence. My inquiries were treated incredulously or ignored. When a small amount of pro-Gamer Gate people online began following me on Twitter and praising me and I began engaging with them, here’s the response I got from journalists in the group: One said I was fueling harassment and threats, called me an “rear end in a top hat,” some blocked me on Twitter, or tried contacting my colleagues or editors in attempt to shame me into silence or have my bosses silence me. This is a problem, IMO.

Responding by redefining 'equality' and 'justice' in ways that exclude class also fits perfectly into the liberal narrative, Kyrie.

Misogyny is bad, but it is bad exclusively because it is a form of class discrimination. Kyrie may be an idiot, but he is an idiot because he has been misled into attacking his own class on behalf of the rich.

My guess is most of the people we're talking about are probably trust fund babies that can always rely on parents so I doubt they'll ever be interested in dealing with real class issues.
