You certainly shouldn't engage with MSM outlets, I did once for the BBC years ago, just a street interview - and they asked if I knew what "devolution" was. I asked them to elaborate, because there's a couple things that could be referring to - "do you mean governmental or anthropological?". They didn't elaborate, literally just staring at me, so I just said "OK then, no I don't". They then said it was to do with the government, so now I knew how they where using the word, and then spoke about it for a few minutes. They only ended up using me in a quick, very mocking, cut of people saying they didn't know what the word meant - when I evidently knew a lot more about the topic than the woman interviewing.

The reason we don't have a picture or real name as gamers is simple, there are 2. 1. Because in game we are NOT our race, gender, income, disability or whatever, we are just another gamer, we are all equal. Noone cares what you make, or what skin color you have, can you hang in game? or can't you? 2. It's the internet, you expose yourself to 1000000s of people at the same time, the chance that one of them would be a sicko that would come find you in real life is at least not non existent.

Pride insulates you from real connection with the majority of other humans. Even with “peers,” you may have to hide your deepest, most vulnerable thoughts and feelings to remain socially secure. It makes people miserable, and they increasingly try to fling their misery on others. This journalist seems very proud and seeking a confrontation from the groundlings. There is a human being under that pomp, and probably an acutely miserable one. I pray they will one day be a person who looks for truth vs. scandal and can cringe at how they have acted.
Well the only other option is to show some humility and common decency, apologise to the masses about trying to shove their politics down their throats during every possible activity they enjoy or use to unwind and ruining other people's art, and acknowledge that maybe other people can live their own lives with their own opinions. So they went for option 2: call everyone buzzwords they learned in university, tell them they're actually harassing them and cry about it on twitter for another 10 years.

Sweet Baby Inc. ya arruinó por completo muchos juegos, espero conseguirme el Tekken 8 se ve increíble desde que salió y puedo decir que es mucho mejor que MK12 y Street Fighter 6.
Of all the game developers I know, who I've known for almost a decade if not more; All of them and myself too agree on one thing and only one thing, how much we together dislike Kotaku. In a couple of cases, both Kotaku and TenTonHammer journalists were especially rude and elitist around two of these friends of mine at E3 and they informed me about it online, this was 10 years ago, following this I asked others I knew what they thought, they told me that they never had run ins with TenTonHammer, but they did Kotaku and agreed that Kotaku are noisy, do not understand gamers, do not understand game development and spin hit pieces; And it isn't the fault of the individual journalists, it is the culture of Kotaku as a company and that culture is forced on those who work there and if they refuse to embrace it, they are fired and when they embrace it they then get indoctrinated by it, very much a Devil Wears Prada situation there, except social politics. And that was the situation a decade ago, it has only got worse and Kotaku only has more influence now. With that said, with a 'certain' journalist who was the worst example of all of them now gone from the company, game developers these days are less concerned with Kotaku's nonsense. They don't hold as much power as they once did.
Sweet baby inc doesn't do what we think it does? Hmm... so it doesn't offer narrative consultation? It doesn't have that bizarre mission statement on their website about how important representation is despite story telling already being about as diverse as possible? What you're telling me you can't find a story about your culture in this day and age? I think you're just not searching hard enough if that's what you want. So basically they do exactly what I think they do. They get hired, come in, offer "suggestions" that have to be done else you don't get certain benefits than leave with the story ruined and the writer now terrified of changing anything as their boss has a metaphorical gun to their head. They don't do that? Serious question about representation. How many of you has a favourite that looks exactly like look you? Hell let's go by Nationality. I have a few favourite English characters but they're not like me at all nor look like me. Most of my favourite characters are a completely different sex or species. Hell at this point most of my favourites are Japanese in origin at this point because they are actual characters that I get connect with.

4:36 Here is the interesting part... HOW does she know he was refering to racism against white people? He only mentions racism. It's almost as if she knows exactly what he is talking about because she has close ties to the person he is refering to.
I'm old enough to remember the 90s internet. Back then anonymity was assumed. In fact, people would think you were insane if you used your real name or gave away identifying information, for obvious reasons. Then, the cia, I mean cuckerberg, released lifelog, I mean facebook and normies the world over gave away personal information that literally the day before "everyone" knew was a bad idea. Then a few really stupid people didn't just proclaim their own identity, but went out of their way to prove who they were by giving their social security numbers and photo id to a social media company. A blue check basically means severe brain damage. The kind of person who becomes a corpo journalist is the kind of person who chases status (because the pay is a pittance) and thinks that people who have checkmarks next to their real identity is a status symbol. And because these people have severe brain damage, they can't even approach the basic empathy to understand someone else's obvious motives.
09:00 Herbert Marcuse's repressive tolerance, this is literally the system as intended. Whatever is "right-wing" is just what the mainstream culture defines it as such, if Feminism becomes "right-wing" there is 0 tolerance for it because it's all about Trans Activism now, when the tables switch and TERFs become "left-wing" and Trans Activists become "right-wing" then we will see the same behaviour in the opposite direction. These terms are fluid and change to whatever the activists want it to mean.
It's like internet literacy isn't a thing for Kotaku and it's 'journalists'. I assume she's also the kind of person that, as a kid, would get into unmarked vans because the stranger was offering her candy
Side note, this reminds me vaguely of what happened to Synthetic Man was that the Nerdrotic / HeelvsBabyface / Geeks + Gamers crew or was that someone else that attacked him over God of War being woke? I never got any specific details on what went down, but I would guess no one ever apologized to him. Does anyone know more and can educate me?
Watch the Efap clip of them going in on him. He was being unreasonable and deceptive at many points during his video. It was shocking seeing his video on the game be put side by side with his privated stream showing how little he understood basics of how the game worked. Not to mention his weird obsession with the non-existent sexualality of the young characters. He was down right stereotypical of what progressives think we are when it come to playing games.

I mean who the fuck uses their full name, job title and picture for a god damn discord account? It's like she thinks this is linkedin or something.
These people are such narcissists they treat their social media posts like world literature and see themselfs as a renowned author with bio.
Jason Schreier was the last shred of integrity Kotaku had, and he took it with him.

They really want a new GG but it's not gonna happen.
They're not going to stay down without a fight. These clowns is going to return and rebranded, but with the same people with the same goal. That's why we must be vigilance.
She's literally a tourist asking "Excuse me, can I ask you something?"
"that strategy was nerfed back in 2020"
I love your gamer talk Vee!!!
My friend showed me this as it was happening. I'll treasure this memory forever.
I blocked Kotaku's domain on my browser years ago. Reading their articles is the equivalent of a lobotomy.
Pride insulates you from real connection with the majority of other humans. Even with “peers,” you may have to hide your deepest, most vulnerable thoughts and feelings to remain socially secure. It makes people miserable, and they increasingly try to fling their misery on others.
This journalist seems very proud and seeking a confrontation from the groundlings. There is a human being under that pomp, and probably an acutely miserable one. I pray they will one day be a person who looks for truth vs. scandal and can cringe at how they have acted.
The only people who use full name and photo of themselves as their profile picture on Steam are sociopaths.
2024 and a lot of people didn't learn that you don't go sharing your personal info online
Man, these people are extremely skilled at digging holes for themselves.
Well the only other option is to show some humility and common decency, apologise to the masses about trying to shove their politics down their throats during every possible activity they enjoy or use to unwind and ruining other people's art, and acknowledge that maybe other people can live their own lives with their own opinions.
So they went for option 2: call everyone buzzwords they learned in university, tell them they're actually harassing them and cry about it on twitter for another 10 years.
"Why don't you guys use your real names and photos?"
Gee, can't imagine why commissar. It's a mystery.
I was there for the birth of the internet. and the hard and fast rule was you never EVER share your personal information.
Naturally the moment game journo's report on the Sweet Baby problem they run to their defense.
The Kotaku's "article" is pure lies and gaslighting.
Ah, Kotztaku (Kotze being german for vomit)
Can’t wait Rocksteady follow volition in going out of business
Manifesting kotaku bankruptcy 🤲
I'm amazed a games journalist, let alone a kotaku journalist, actually dared to try to talk to the lowly plebs that they hold so much contempt for.
I actually saw this play out in the review mirror in the discord it was hilarious.
Herald of Darkness part of the Alan Wake II was going to be removed
Sam Lake had to fight to let both Herald of Darkness musical and the Dark Ocean Summoning to stay in the game
I can see them grifting now…”It would be terrible if people boycotted your game like we did to Harry Potter”.
Kotaku still exists?
Soros keeps pumping them money!
230 comments is massive compared to most online articles have less than 10
Sweet Baby Inc. ya arruinó por completo muchos juegos, espero conseguirme el Tekken 8 se ve increíble desde que salió y puedo decir que es mucho mejor que MK12 y Street Fighter 6.
Journos on safari.
since the days of AIM and IRC you should never use your real name on the internet. Anyone who does so is beyond stupid.
But muh accountability! 😂
Of all the game developers I know, who I've known for almost a decade if not more; All of them and myself too agree on one thing and only one thing, how much we together dislike Kotaku. In a couple of cases, both Kotaku and TenTonHammer journalists were especially rude and elitist around two of these friends of mine at E3 and they informed me about it online, this was 10 years ago, following this I asked others I knew what they thought, they told me that they never had run ins with TenTonHammer, but they did Kotaku and agreed that Kotaku are noisy, do not understand gamers, do not understand game development and spin hit pieces; And it isn't the fault of the individual journalists, it is the culture of Kotaku as a company and that culture is forced on those who work there and if they refuse to embrace it, they are fired and when they embrace it they then get indoctrinated by it, very much a Devil Wears Prada situation there, except social politics.
And that was the situation a decade ago, it has only got worse and Kotaku only has more influence now. With that said, with a 'certain' journalist who was the worst example of all of them now gone from the company, game developers these days are less concerned with Kotaku's nonsense. They don't hold as much power as they once did.
Early life check on this so-called urinalist
Woke is like Asian Carp in the US.
I've gotten more engagement from comments I left on someone else's video than that Kotaku article
Have some more engagement.
Resist , keep it up , power to the people !
Sweet baby inc doesn't do what we think it does? Hmm... so it doesn't offer narrative consultation? It doesn't have that bizarre mission statement on their website about how important representation is despite story telling already being about as diverse as possible? What you're telling me you can't find a story about your culture in this day and age? I think you're just not searching hard enough if that's what you want. So basically they do exactly what I think they do. They get hired, come in, offer "suggestions" that have to be done else you don't get certain benefits than leave with the story ruined and the writer now terrified of changing anything as their boss has a metaphorical gun to their head. They don't do that?
Serious question about representation. How many of you has a favourite that looks exactly like look you? Hell let's go by Nationality. I have a few favourite English characters but they're not like me at all nor look like me. Most of my favourite characters are a completely different sex or species. Hell at this point most of my favourites are Japanese in origin at this point because they are actual characters that I get connect with.
Kotaku doesnt have any power it once might have had, so i wonder how many people bought into the story in this article.
I thought Gamer Gate died. I saw the horse die, why are they still beating it. Why did they resurrect the horse dr frakenstein style so they could beat it some more? Why are they beating that dead zombie horse?
YT: Hey, new video by a creator you subscribe to!
Me: Thanks!
ME: *Sees the video came out 3 days ago* Thanks for nothing.
Game journalism be like:
"Gaslight gaslight gaslight: gaslight.
Gaslight gaslight gaslight. Gaslight? Gaslight gaslight.. Gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight. Gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight. GASLIGHT? Gaslight! Gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight.
Gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight gaslight."
You forgot the part in there where they can't even play the games
4:36 Here is the interesting part... HOW does she know he was refering to racism against white people? He only mentions racism. It's almost as if she knows exactly what he is talking about because she has close ties to the person he is refering to.
She was just mad she couldn't dox people.
Fuel for the algorithm! Comments for the comment throne!
I'm old enough to remember the 90s internet. Back then anonymity was assumed. In fact, people would think you were insane if you used your real name or gave away identifying information, for obvious reasons. Then, the cia, I mean cuckerberg, released lifelog, I mean facebook and normies the world over gave away personal information that literally the day before "everyone" knew was a bad idea. Then a few really stupid people didn't just proclaim their own identity, but went out of their way to prove who they were by giving their social security numbers and photo id to a social media company. A blue check basically means severe brain damage. The kind of person who becomes a corpo journalist is the kind of person who chases status (because the pay is a pittance) and thinks that people who have checkmarks next to their real identity is a status symbol. And because these people have severe brain damage, they can't even approach the basic empathy to understand someone else's obvious motives.
Given things like suicide squad poison ivy i would be more suspicious of those who work at sweet baby and similar then most others
Vee wining and dining us with gas/petrol
09:00 Herbert Marcuse's repressive tolerance, this is literally the system as intended. Whatever is "right-wing" is just what the mainstream culture defines it as such, if Feminism becomes "right-wing" there is 0 tolerance for it because it's all about Trans Activism now, when the tables switch and TERFs become "left-wing" and Trans Activists become "right-wing" then we will see the same behaviour in the opposite direction. These terms are fluid and change to whatever the activists want it to mean.
I wonder how much money she had to raise to fund creating her Discord account...
What the AI bot asking why gamers don't want to get fired from their day job by the bot doxing them
I tried to subscribe to SB inc detected in steam and I was not allowed by the system. Some requirement or something.
1:55 That's Fed talk, lmao. Sounds like a glowie.
FYI update on this Steam are on them because that group was mass reported. They had to close the discussions several hours ago
Check their HD
Even Vees comments get upsetty spaghetti with anime pfp's.
It's like internet literacy isn't a thing for Kotaku and it's 'journalists'. I assume she's also the kind of person that, as a kid, would get into unmarked vans because the stranger was offering her candy
Side note, this reminds me vaguely of what happened to Synthetic Man was that the Nerdrotic / HeelvsBabyface / Geeks + Gamers crew or was that someone else that attacked him over God of War being woke?
I never got any specific details on what went down, but I would guess no one ever apologized to him. Does anyone know more and can educate me?
@@UsernamesHandle Thank you, that helps clear up some of the fog.
Watch the Efap clip of them going in on him. He was being unreasonable and deceptive at many points during his video. It was shocking seeing his video on the game be put side by side with his privated stream showing how little he understood basics of how the game worked. Not to mention his weird obsession with the non-existent sexualality of the young characters.
He was down right stereotypical of what progressives think we are when it come to playing games.
whew last time I heard about Kotaku was just as bad...like...last year? Barely hearing about them is awesome.....and knowing that its only when they dish the mother of all bad takes albeit not surprising, makes it even better.
Didn’t they go bankrupt? 😂
It's hilarious how out of touch they are.
the only reason i know kotaku is doing anything these days is the youtubers i watch covering it. i can sincerely say i havent clicked on a kotaku article myself in over a decade
Urinalists pretending to do actual journalism for once... And failing miscerably at it.
