Yeah, I'm quite aware. Which is exactly why I say the group here shouldn't be patting themselves on the back. We're looking at a group of people that wanted to show off how left wing they were, while at the same time claiming this movement to be apolitical.
Not to mention that the part of GG being "right about everything" only pertains to games journalism. Other than that, it's wanting games to be neutral, which is a completely inane thing to desire when you want to be part of the free expression crowd. Or how about the stupid phrases that no one gets called on like the "I just wanted to play vidya" or "I didn't change, the left just became crazy" type of shit where it just shows that they don't even have two brain cells to rub together.
Also just as always, people fall back on throwing in the rep/cons at me whenever I criticize this group. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised about it coming from people that need to preface their political statements with the "I don't like Trump but..." spiel. Because whoever you do or don't like apparently impacts your creditability.
Having a significant population cons/libertarians doesn't mean anything if we don't say anything about some of the idiotic things that get promoted or are considered fine. I didn't pick those quotes earlier for nothing. I've heard them multiple times, across many different people, for years. Regretfully, I do think more should've been said back then, definitely way before there was a need for a KIA2.
It's funny about that stonetoss comic that GG got up in arms about. He was right, even if it was an accident. People only cared when it came after something they liked. They didn't care when it happened to people they didn't like. Nor did they learn despite all these years. Worse still would be that being a redpilling moment only lead to a lot of people thinking it's only just a recent thing and not something seeping in over many years if not decades.
I'll give you that GG did find plenty of things. That was a bit of a rash statement by myself.
The worst thing about all of this is that GamerGate didn't show us the worst kind of stupid. GamerGate was taken up as the norm. The insane, aggressive, gas-lighting, and hysterical attacks on the general audience went from being a poorly managed & amateurish attempt at a media blitz, to the standard operating procedure of all mainstream media, the Democratic party, and international organizations.
It's like the establishment forgot how to run a normal media blitz. They've adopted only the worst tactics.
I wouldn't say worst tactics at all. They have Harris one (very weak) heartbeat away from the presidency and will take the senate once the GA runoff is complete.
The tactics have and will continue to work, even as the boot stomps the diminishing right wing political faction.
Leaves out that reviewers were only sent the PC version, which has far less bugs than the consoles. Should have been a big red flag, but it wasn't and various reviews gave decent reviews because of it. The first reviews were on Stradia and PC.
And there it is; just a few tweets in and someone is trying to defend them.
I’ve seen footage of the PC version and while it may not crash all the time or have the most egregious bugs from the console versions, it is still an incredibly buggy and unfinished mess. The idea that the PC version “isn’t that bad” is utter nonsense.
Except it isn't that bad. If the bar for "that bad" is constantly crashing and corrupting save files and barely loading everything a few graphical glitches is pretty tame in comparison. Especially for a crowd that gives skyrim rave reviews every time it's re-released with the same game breaking bugs every time.
That being said, it doesn't matter if it's "not as bad" because, as the tweet says, they wouldn't be able to compare it to the console versions because they never got them in the first place.
Guarantee they only played the prologue that was super polished and just reviewed that instead of the rest of the game because they're just that incompetent.
Gaming reviews are pillared upon a double standard. If this game was released by a studio out of vogue right now, say 2K or Blizzard, they'd be trashing it and it would be in the bargain bin by the end of January, no "pulled from the store until fixed" shit. You'd be hard pressed to find a single reviewer willing to take the studio's side.
But this is CDPR, the internet's dream developer. User reviews of Witcher 3 were written like erotic fanfiction. They could release driveway gravel as a breakfast cereal and some soy-faced dipshit would eat it on youtube, tell the world it tasted like fairy pussy, and then claim his ambulance trip to the hospital later that day was for "unrelated reasons".
Sorry but I have to disagree... On a second playthrough on PC already and while there have definitely been bugs and crashes it's nothing unexpected with something this big. It's probably better, even, then Bethesda releases, for example.
The idea that glitches means "unfinished" is also nonsense. Unpolished maybe, but "unfinished" implies that the core functions, narrative, or gameplay are incomplete, and that is simply NOT the case.
mainstream media are now in the same spot of game journos, full SJW activism, lack of accountability, AIDS kissing and fucking with people in power in exchange for benefits (well this is not new), and gaslighting meisters. but it rose to a laughable level. just pick up some headlines: 21 hurts during X peaceful protest. how can you not sneed?
the neckbeards not only were right against the corruption in game journalism AKA bloggerism they were also capable to foresee exactly how it would have infected all society to the point of threatening the country or even the world stability, for the dudes who told me le fucking "slippery slope fallacy" in 2014. I was a fucking optimist.
are you reading this journo? how do you feel when your 50.000$ tuition/year for that degree and those hundred of books you read to incarnate that ideal to go and tell truth to power put you still below the analysis capabilities of a shitposter memefrogger of 4chan that spend half of his time on exhentai jacking off? while you cannot even complain to your piece of shit editor abusing you and lying in plain sight otherwise your pro-genderfluo colleagues get you fired and eat you alive. eh?
how do you feel fighting fake news on marginal websites while your boss tells you to fuking shove that understair sect level marxist political pamphlet of critical race theory in every fucking article? or you do it for reflex now? like a pavlov's dog?
you can always make an account and went your frustration here journo. no one will know you are a journo if you don't tell it.
They will never figure it out. Most people are hyper consumers and are entirely compelled by advertising.
Considering the people that are/were considered part of "GG", I don't think that the group here should be patting themselves on the back.

They realized how easy it is to manipulate consensus, along with how many people will mindlessly go along with the consensus and reacted accordingly.
Yeah, why put in the effort to make the lies believable. The people don’t seem to care how shit the lie, the only care about the source.
I wouldn't say worst tactics at all. They have Harris one (very weak) heartbeat away from the presidency and will take the senate once the GA runoff is complete.

Worst as in quality, and I don't know why your so black pilled. Like I've said before, this is nothing like a win for them.
