We can't expect these "Journalists" to bite the hands that feed them.

Remember when leftists used to trash the Yuppie Nuremberg defense (thank you for smoking)? It’s amazing how easily conditioned these troglodytes are where they now are literally defending shitty people they trashed 20 years ago because they now pay their mortgage.
Ancient problem, with an ancient solution:
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
Matthew 16:26
These people need Jesus.
Pretty much everything got worse after Christianity collapsed.
Without the games industry all of them would have been prostitutes, just like Alyssa Mercante used to be. Just like she's gonna be, once her little Alexis Carrington-Colby-style, arch-nemesis-of-all-gamers, rage-bait grift runs dry. (Which might be a way off, since the YouTube commentators need her for their own rage-bait content, so they're gonna keep promoting her drivel.)
That's part the reason things got as bad as they have. Reactionary Content Industry is plenty powerful itself and drives constant engagement and ragebait clicks to all these people.
Ignoring them is never the right choice, but the fact that guys like G+G and Doomcock have made an entire career out of posting "This time she IS FINISHED" weekly while their entire audience hatewatches everything has only exacerbated it.
is literally powered by mindless NPCs that can't form a reaction of their own
stop fueling it
Personally, I did years ago when I realized it was becoming an industry and most of them were so uncultured outside of mainstream slop.
You can signal your woke defiance all you like. It won’t protect you from the marketplace. ESG will, but only for so long. In the end, a plurality of consumers will never embrace ugly characters, girl bosses, or gay communism.
Angry people can take a lot of things, even your own life. These people actually think law protects them and nothing could possibly ever make anyone mad enough to do something about it. That type of hubris is begging to meet someone who has lost it all
These "Journalists" are happy to go after old-school GGers, or people who criticize DEI, censorship, localization, or updates for "modern audiences".
But they won't make enemies of their buddies in the games industry, because they directly profit from them. They're not going to grill a corporate exec about layoffs, studio closures, or why they made a failing product, for example.
Nick and his team is getting paid tens of thousands per month from Patreon, but STILL he refuses to be critical of the games industry. It saddens me to see him waste this opportunity.
it will not be taken by angry people. it will be taken by indifferent people, like me. Faggots like this drove me out of so-called mainstream gaming, same with many others.
they bully people out of a hobby, then wonder where everyone went
Fuck off. People just wanted to play games and not make everything political you hack. Legacy games media can’t die fast enough.
Don’t worry guys just because his wife’s boyfriend works for Ubislop doesn’t mean his coverage will compromised.
Nothing irritates me more than when people act like dogs are children.
Leftists fag up everything they touch.
Imagine writing that flowery bitchtalk and meaning it. Those are feminine sentiments.
"Gotten to travel the world" Oh did you find your true self, fruit?
I just want to play video games and not get preached to with the views of some danger hair in San Fran.
That's the fucking problem. Game journos have been living high on the hog shilling games that amount to little more than propaganda in exchange for shit like free travel or access to events. This kind of shit is why Gamergate happened in the first place.
Problem is, if there's no audience for the propaganda even the ESG money will dry up and so will the perks.
No, you will. The industry could have a license to print free money, but instead of giving people games they want to play, they'll continue down this path.
And you will blame gamers for not keeping your job afloat by purchasing absolute garbage.
What the context?
The author of the tweet just posted this by itself.
The broader context is that this "journalist" has been doxxing and having beef with grummz and other people who he sees as "grifters", so by "angry people" he's probably referring to people who actually care about gaming as a hobby enough to be vocal about the cancers that are killing it.
