If you're posting about video games more than playing video games you're doing it wrong.

Is the "Game Industry News" thread for video games only, or are we also allowed to post TG news as well? Because there's an ongoing thing where a larger youtube boardgame reviewer tried to extort money from a small kickstarter publisher in exchange for not posting a negative review of their game (the review went up around the same time the company started a kickstarter to reprint the game).

The only place I've really seen it mentioned (and where I found out about it) was on the Hobby Drama thread.

TG has a thread for TG Industry stuff here that you might want to check out: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3849301

That's another Games Rules & Forum Feedback Thread success story.

As an acronym though GRFFT doesn't really roll off the tongue and sounds kinda fishy tbh. The thread clearly need a better acronym to keep it fresh, that's my feedback.

not a major complaint because it came and went, but i feel like "gaming journalism is all bought and paid for" is a bit out of turn for the gaming industry thread. i actually dont care if that's parroted anywhere else but i feel like that's the kind of "i feel like it's true so it must be" post we try to avoid in that thread specifically

I thought it was fitting. "i feel like it's true so it must be" is like that thread's official slogan.

in the leper's colony?
from what i can tell it's this:

some iz posters got probed in the games d4 thread for replying to people whining about the game being bad with screenshots of actor sean penn from a movie where he played a mentally r-w*rded man
one of those iz posters (TLD) is an ik and started communicating about d4 through the leper's colony while probed
then the ik sixered 16 bit butthead for unrelated reasons, who then also started communicating through the leper's colony and riffing on TLD
