Hello fellow gamers,
We're the people who will be implementing the next chapter for OAG.
As many of you have noticed, there is a lot of controversy and concern about the site's future under new management. This, in part, is owed to how we went about announcing the next chapter of our journey together. For this, we apologize and are here to dispel any and all rumors going around as well as address any questions you our audience have for us.
We will show you with our action and our product's quality that we are serious about our mission and respect for you - the consumer. To begin this process, we are setting up an AMA to answer questions you have about the transition, staffing, what is going on, or who is best girl and why traps are most assuredly gay. Anything you are curious about, we will attempt to answer.
Ask us anything!

We'll start answering your questions in 3 hours.

Yeah, hard pass.
I wanted to clarify this in the original post for this reason, that statement was made hastily after the acquisition and before any research into the site was conducted. it is a direct copy/paste of Google's terms and I can clarify this issue.
One Angry Gamer will continue to focus on being pro-consumer, calling out political interjection, and advocating for free speech. The changes will focus largely on how the comment section functions because of Google's requirements for AdSense which is required to make the site viable and to get crawlers to actually archive the site so we show up in search results.
In the comments terms that Google defines as Hate Speech will be prohibited as will pornography. We'll be setting up a discord that will serve as the platform for free and open conversation that while bound by Discords TOS will be a complete free speech bastion.
Management recognizes this will inconvenience and indeed annoy our readership, but our hands are tied in this regard. We've worked hard to find ways to maintain the OAG atmosphere and to carry on the mission Billy started years ago while complying with what is required of us in order to be a viable business.
Our new lead editor will comment on this further, but the message will soon change to reflect our core ideas going forward and to mitigate misunderstandings created by the original message.
For clarity those values are -Pro-Consumer -Pro-Escapism (IE we're calling out political interjection) -Get Woke Go Broke will continue and the list will return after review -All rules implemented will be defined and enforced equally.
A lot of this was discussed behind the scenes so management hasn't had the chance to update the site properly and wants to take into account all your feedback before doing so.
Well, good luck with that. You'll find that the overlap of people that care about free speech and people that think it's a good idea to let google dictate what zhey are allowed to say is abysmally small.
Your hands may be bound but I don't think you have a viable buisness on them either way.
Google will not dictate what you can and cannot say. I'll not cheapen it by beggaring, but pragmatically we're talking about a few words and posting images on another platform. You can still dunk on wokeness, interjection, etc and we'll continue to cover that stuff.
Come again?
