New weekend, new episode of SPLASH DAMAGE!
An IGN editor last week tried to justify why the games media had not covered a PlayStation executive being caught soliciting sex from a minor. Meanwhile, games sites are quick to jump on “news” about conservative game developers simply existing. We discuss this lack of journalistic integrity along with Kotaku calling gamers “toxic a-holes,” highlights from The Game Awards, the mainstream media falsely associating video games with a Michigan school shooting, Kotaku being upset that a right-wing group agrees Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick should resign, Nintendo trying to hire more women for no reason, gamers’ hate for Ubisoft’s NFT announcement, PlayStation Spartacus, and much more!
