Imagine having played video games from early consoles and being optimistic about their future and then seeing where we are at now
>>742467147Chuds lost
>>742467147It's been 12 years. Please move on.
>>742467147damn, now we can't buy this literal who game that nobody cares about
I’m still not entirely sure what GG was about.>woman makes a game>she trades sexual favors for press and positive reviews>word gets out>people defend her???
>>742467474The entire global journalism cabal decided to declare gamers evil and reveal themselves as a global conspiracy because gamers called one girl a whore for having sex for reviews and apparently throwing her under the bus was impossible for them
>>742467474It was about attacking the credibility of gaming journalism because they are a bunch of ideologically driven hacks. It was very effective, as nobody respects gaming journalists anymore.
reminder she's scammed people on kickstartedhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/703752115/kickstarted-in-the-butt-a-chuck-tingle-digital-adv/description
>>742467474Nowadays it's pretty common to see women being horrible, world-ruining beings and being excused for, aswell as the gaming industry being blatantly poisoned by people who don't care about games, but back then it was actually somewhat a big deal
>>742467474>people defend herunderstatement of the yearthe entire games industry colluded to bury the story, then declared gamers were over. Each publication used that exact phrasing. The extremely thin guise of whatever credibility these sites still had, that game websites were independent and even remotely accountable, was burned awaygood riddance, S
>>742467474There's a lot about it people straight up forgot. There was a huge thrust at the start about Kickstarter because Journalists were basically running free fundraising for projects they wanted without disclosure.Now Kickstarter is hardly a website anymore so it's like double forgotten
>>742467147you hate anita because she made you geams woke and i hate her because she has not shown us her massive fat booba. we are not the same.
>>742467667Yet we have daily twitter screencap and metacritic threads. If they aren't respected why are their opinions perpetuated?
>5 guys
>>742467667No one respected gaming journalismeven before that because its like sport journalism, not a real job
>>742467837>the entire games industry colluded to bury the story, Not just game journalists, but websites as well. The story was getting censored everywhere, including here on 4chan. That's the #1 why it exploded.
>>742467474it's more the unified response by nearly every outlet to people learning about Quinn whoring herself out for reviews
>>742467474>word gets out(Completely deserved but autistically executed) Organized hate campaign with death threats and unloading of all misogynistic viewpoints>people defend herYou skipped an important step
>>742467474Effectively but that’s leaving out a few key details. For starters she didn’t make a game so much as what amounts to a slide show. And as for the people defending her, well think of it as a massive over reaction. You see the media and I mean all of it not just journos saw people finding out about the five guys and being mad about it as an existential problem since if people were able to find out about the chicanery in games journalism then the shit that journalists do in other fields was fair game. So they decided to try and nip it in the bud and demonize gamers to the public. But it didn’t work the way they wanted it since while getting a lot of normalfags to turn on gamers they set up a dangerous precedent when any time someone needs to say how someone calling out their shitty behavior or actions are bad they just say they hate women or are racist. There is also the fact that they pissed off a bunch of autists who have long memories and will obsessively look into and catalog shit. Meaning that they effectively did the opposite of just having the issue fade away. Now in 2014+12 we have people actively speaking out against the ideological bullshit and the only defense it’s supporters have is to whine about some faggot eceleb who is just repeating shit from twatter that in turn came from 4chan. That is also to say nothing of the fact that the inorganic push for woke shit was uncovered like 2 years ago and the method they use with it and it was just as repugnant as one would expect.
>>742468215You also skipped the step with false allegations toward GG, ungodly amount of false flags, lies and shitflinging.
>>742467147>State of Decay 3Didn't even know there was a 2. Loved the first one though.
>>742467474entire industry was trying to defend a scammer, duh. Some weinstein shit where you bribe with sex to have a big debut
>>742467275>12it's been less than that since she killed a man
>>7424683182 is pretty good though the co op is kinda just there3 allegedly is gonna have co op but actually goodThough If good old Zoe is there I imagine the story will be forced and bad (2 and 1 barely had a story) and she'll probably mandate uglier people be added (not that anyone was a looker in 1 or 2)I doubt she'll impact the game on a gameplay level since she didn't for Slay the spire 2
>>742467275It’s been 81 years, please move on.
>>742467667>as nobody respects gaming journalists anymoreas opposed to before?
>>742468097
I was 13 when GG happened and it unironically shaped a lot of my political leanings to this very day. I'm 25 now.
>>742467474It's too much to really bring up just know the ZQ shit was the straw that broke the camel's back, people were already tired of game journos as they started doing the woke shit from 2012 and by 2014 they were ready to tell them to fuck off in a big way which of course caused gaming/tech journos to fight back with organized hit pieces that resulted in GG. We also now know that the fake narrative of wanting to remove women from the industry was actually something that should've happened, women have absolutely gutted the western AAA games industry and a lot of the layoffs happening now are because of women, cucks and DEI hires who can't and won't make games for the men that are their target audience.
>>742467147Zoe Quinn is actually kind of bad tho, I'd totally let her lick my asshole
>>742468658never equate modern ZOG-compromised anti-woke psyops with GG ever again
>>742468318One was decent. 2 improved on some mechanics but the writing went woke. 3 will likely continue in that direction
>>742468663She cancelled her last male partner so hard he killed himself. You have to be an Indian level simp to want her
>>742468776First of all anti-woke is just some bullshit you faggots came up with to find literally anything to say against people calling out your bullshit. And second it’s all fucking connected. Alex’s cunt sister literally helped create the groups that back the consulting firms that push woke shit.
Come to think of it. I browsed /v/ after my game forum was in the gutter in GG and I gave up on it lol.
That face is in a State of Decay, yikes!
>>742469032no, GG was as grassroots as it gets meanwhile the current "right-wing" is backed by zionists whether you like to admit it or notif you equate the two you're either a brain dead drone or a fed, simple as that
>>742467474Why do posts like these occur in every thread about GG or Zoe?
>>742467275What exactly am I supposed to move on from?I don't like sarkeesians or quinns feminist trite, so I don't want to give them my money. Its just that simple
>>742467147I don't have to imagine.
>>742469361>current "right-wing" is backed by zionistsYou mean all the fervent anti-semites who hate kikes and israel more and longer than you? This whole “republicans make up the entire right wing” was retarded from jump and shows how desperate you losers are.>if you equate the twoI literally gave evidence showing that people directly involved in GG are not only tied but directly involved in the pushing of woke shit as well as the framework for shit like DEI and consulting firms trash. But of course you have to ignore it and go with your psyop cope because you know you’re incapable of actually refuting or even arguing anything I have pointed out. You are going to fail here just like you always do and then throw a shit fit while screaming the same shit over and over while burying your head in the sand. It’s been this way since SBI was outed.
>>742467583>>742467756>>742467837>>742468204>>742468221I didn't follow the movement very well at the time, so what was the proof that she actually slept with the guy in exchange for a favorable review? For such a big commotion like this, I assume there was some very definitive proof of this happening, right?
>>742467275Alec Holowka is still dead.
>>742469365Disingenuous retards are dime a dozen here
>>742469667Her ex boyfriend who broke up with her because of it and then she hit him with a false rape accusation which was then pushed hard leading him to killing himself. Not to mention she even originally apologized for it before recanting when the misogyny narrative was put in place.
>>742469616>You mean all the fervent anti-semites who hate kikes and israel more and longer than you?ever heard of the term "useful idiot"?
>>742467474>Pre-Internet 2.0>People were interesting and unique>niche communities, forums, IRC and blogs>very little focus on politics, mostly on the hobby the community is based around>Internet 2.0>Tumblr and Twitter get big>Suddenly feminists and wokefags start spreading like a cancer to your niche communities>Women who you used to be cool with are talking about feminism>Men who you used to be cool with simping for the women>Its like a civil war on social mediaPeople focus on gamergate because its "where the buck stopped" and a sizeable group of people fought back.But plenty of other communities were taken over much more easily by the mindvirus spreading from Tumblr and Twitter. Comic books for example gave up immediately.
>>742469860>hating israel is being a useful idiot Way to drop the mask there retard. Round of applause for the hook nosed retard.
>>742467247If you mean "lost" as in the gaming industry is dead and gaming as a hobby is over, sure. But it's not the chuds that were fired by the thousands and will be unable to find work because they have no useful skills at all. You wanted to "own the chuds" and killed yourself to do so.
>>742469616I posted evidence that IGDA and DARPA were directly connected to both Quinn and Sarkeesian like a week after it happenedall of that is now scrubbed from the internetit's useless to try to convince anyone anymore. as long as gamers continue to have good instincts and not buy shit games we have a chance though
>>742467275We did move on. That's why all these studios are closing down.
>>742469835Yeah I understand her boyfriend accused her of this but what was the actual proof of the truthfulness of his accusation? Anyone can accuse anyone of anything, just as how you say, she accused him of rape
>>742469667Her ex-boyfriend at the time posted all the receipts on his blog for everyone to see. >>742469835You're conflating the one ex-bf that posted about it on his blog and that Alec guy wiho made Night in the Woods. They're two different people although both can attest to Zoe Quinn being a lowborn whore.
>>742469941that is the opposite of what i'm implying, retardjust because you dislike something doesn't mean you can't be unwittingly helping it
>>742469680and american mcgee's sister.
>>742469984Do people who are not guilty of something apologize for it and then hit their accusers with false rape accusations to slander them? You’re making your bias pretty clear while showing you ignore anything that goes against it.
>>742470036>that is the opposite of what i'm implyingThen why did you bring up useful idiots when I said they hated israel? That would not make sense unless you were saying that people that hated israel were useful idiots. >just because you dislike something doesn't mean you can't be unwittingly helping itHow is pointing out all the terrible shit they do helping it? Nothing you are saying makes any sense and it reeks of a desperate cope.
>>742470116I can't find anything about her apologizing for the accusation
>>742470271Because she deleted it.
>>742469667Just the fact they gave good reviews to slopgames is BAD.
>>742469667There were leaked messages between Zoe Quinn and either one of the guys she was sleeping with or someone else she was telling it too IIRC
>>742467147Is this post a psyop to distract from sony and MS both destroying their ecosystems, or do you genuinely think a random woke girl who cheats on men is doing more damage than the corporations actually in control of everything?
>>742467275Lmao, you wishThis is a grudge that will live forever and make trannies lose a bunch of money
>>742470301I mean this was such a massive movement, surely there's archives so I don't just have to take your word for it
>>742467147You can just say you've never played SoD, retardkun.
>>742470514corpos killing the studios who've been releasing nothing but trash for the last 15 years is good for gaming though
>>742470365>IIRCWell, you can actually look it up and see that the Nathan Grayson review of her game never existed at all. Surely you guys couldn't have been swept up by some bullshit accusation with absolutely zero proof when you were fucking retard teens on 4chan, right?
>>742470598They're destroying everything that isn't a gacha or live service game, bro. Don't get your hopes up.
>>742470525Do you have an archive of deleted social media posts?
>>742470723What? Are you implying infamous social media posts don't get archived and shared around? Why would this supposed apology, which would be definitive proof of her being a horrible person, not be instantly archived by such a massive movement? Not only that, googling around, I can't even find anyone talking about this supposed apology, mentioning it in any way.
>>742467147It's because of those faggots (millennials) who played games on early consoles that we're in this situation
>>742469365>why do you keep trying to analyze history? STOP LOOKING!
>>742467147The absolute state of decay.Wait...
>>742470945Show me an archive for social media posts and I will then direct you to look up her account. If it does not exist then there is no archive of posts. If you cannot accept that then you are going to have to take my word for it. If you don’t and want to say I am lying with no proof then you are showing that you have a bias towards Quinn and the ideological shit she pushes which you have already shown by ignoring what I said before.
>>742471023It's true, my faggot generation bought Gaylo and COD by the fuckload including all the DLC, paid online and later on all the microtransactions while supporting shit stores like Gamestop.
>>742471165Kek I remember downloading tons of CS:S mods and maps for free and ze mode and skins and then hearing about the 19.99 USD halo 3 map pack.
>>742469951Good, I hate video games anyways.
>>742471078>by ignoring what I said beforeWhat you said before is her apologizing. It's literally what we're talking about right now, how am I ignoring it? I also don't think you understand how the internet works. Yes, there's no official archive of social media posts, but people archive posts on archive.org and then share them around. Yet I can't find anyone even talking about this apology except you>either take my word as gospel or you're biasedDo you not see the irony in your statement? Simply taking your word for it is literally the definition of bias. To require actual empirical evidence in order to believe something is to not be biased in any way.
>>742471023>the people making games now were the ones playing them back then!Insanely delusional take. All gamers amounted to nothing.
>>742471023Millennials were the first generation to be absolutely starved of pussy en masse, and resulted in everybody doing anything they could to try to appease women. To no avail of course.This continued through give or take the first half of zoomers, and now younger zoomers, while still starved of pussy, have decided to just hate women instead of trying to do everything to appease them hoping they might get a crumb eventually.
reminder /v/ was never able to debunk the debunk which is why they lost. It turned into a slapfight of he-said/she-said but only one side had any proof of anything.
>>742467147I read this three times, what am I supposed to be mad at?
>>742471253Microshit was pushing Gaylo mappacks since 2.Worse, they forced devs and publishers who wanted to update the game with the maps for free, to make them paid on the online store or a retail product.Meanwhile World at War for PC had all of the Zombie maps for free. The amount of damage the shit fot brains Soilennial generation did to gaming is beyond ridiculous.And these same bitches somehow have the gal to get asspained about zoomeroids playing their Minecraft and Fortnite, while our 30/40 year old age bracket is still buying FIFA ans COD every year.
>>742471369They're not going to fuck you, bro. Stop simping.
>>742471449At yourself for being such a fucking insecure cuckold
>>742467147Just tag the game as LGBTQ so its auto filtered by my prefernces
>>742467247I'm loving all the activists losing their jobs to 'own the chuds.' Go off queen. I got a huge backlog to get through and Palworld in a week.
>>742467275did they move on?we were here first, why are we the ones that have to move, colonizer?
>>742467474>woman makes a gameuh yeah sure
>>742471454I am a millennial lol36I just played CS:S for years around that time and a few other things happened at the same time to keep me away from dlc in generalI very very rarely buy dlc The other major one was probably oblivion horse armor Maybe it was a pivotal moment during development or something but it impressed upon me permanently how retarded paid dlc is A lot of games up until the 360 was in full swing had all that shit for free on pc
>>742471504I knew Justin long was hotter than me ok.
>>742471369>b-but le FBI said...!Funny how truthful the FBI is in the eyes of troons... until you post something like picrel. Then it doesn't matter what they say, they're totes lying.
>>742471308>What you said before is her apologizingI see your playing dumb and acting like you didn’t blatantly ignore it when i brought it up because there is no archive of social media posts.>either take my word as gospel or you're biasedA blatant strawman showing that to show you’re being dishonest. I said that if you could not find an archive you would just have to take my word for it. If you believe that I am lying then say so and then I will ask you to actually show where I have been dishonest in this discussion. Which you will not do because I haven’t so you will just make something up and then try and fail to argue that. You know it would be much easier for you if you just started crying chud and throwing the usual tantrum instead of trying to larp as an unaffiliated third party. Because why would someone who is utterly ignorant and therefore having no bias be this critical of anything presented that goes against the Quinn? I mean why would you doubt this knowing the state of the industry and how scummy journos are? And why would you doubt everything presented to you so far in the thread especially given you haven’t actually said how it’s wrong but rather attempted to say it wasn’t enough? And then ignored what was shown after that only to try and fail to argue about it? It’s pretty clear where you stand on this matter.
>>742467147Personal fav
>>742471624Wow whites are so much more violent than asians
>>742471607Microsoft was the worst thing to happen to the medium.AAA would barely be a thing if not for them.
>>742467845wtf didn't know Anita had these guns on here. wtf I love pozzed games now?
>>742471485digital only means those characters can be deleted and memoryholed by Sony/MS at any timeholy fuck we are so absolutely cooked man. 1984 talked about the censorship of books but irl it turns out this is starting with vidya
>>742471485>>742471624This is why you lost. GG had plenty of genuine momentum to start but the more it went on it was clear that the less and less it was really about ethics and evidence more about personal vendettas without objectivity, and proceeded to die.
>>742467147Over 10 years later and the foreveralones still fixate on you. Anita and Zoe really gotta regret getting involved in this industry
>>742470525>>742469984>>742470271Depsite what fags here say. There is no evidence of any of this actually happening. Literally just fags here just want their grapes of wrath. There is no evidence she slept with anybody to get positive reviews for her shitty depression game, that's why theres no social media archive of it.
>>742467147dont need to imagine it...
>>742471308Not that anon, but one of the most absurd thing I remember about the whole gamergate drama was that people involved were able to take down archive.org pages.I had no idea it was even a thing, I assumed shit was permanent.The other archive (.is) didn't delete pages on request as far as I know, but it's also not automatic so you either saved it manually in time or it's lost. No idea what you two guys were talking about but I'm sure there are screenshots rather than archive pages, it's just a matter of finding the right keywords for a Google search.
>>742471917>>742471919Gamergate wonAll of these cunts are getting fired and replaced by jeets and AI
>>742467147Legit mistook her for Proxy Paige for a second
>>742472054This is the usual cope. Exactly the same as TORtanic. /v/ claiming they were involved when it was an inevitability that would have happened regardless.
>>742472000>No idea what you two guys were talking about butIf you didn’t know what we were talking about how would you know we were taking about archives? Also how would could you not know if you read enough to specifically know about the archive thing but not everything else?
I know she's the girl who fucked 5 different men so they gave good reviews to her game about depression, but is she ALSO the won who made the Night in the Woods dev kill himself because of fake allegations? All these neon haired feminists look the same.
>>742467275>time passed so your beliefs should change!Lol, no.
>>742472128>UH IT WAS INEVITABLE ANYWAY!
>>742472067Based goonbrain
>>742467474Not reviews, coverage.Grayson wrote multiple articles on Rock, Paper, Shotgun promoting her "game" without disclosing their relationship.Clear cut instance of failed journalistic integrity, and you should seriously question anyone who says otherwise.
>>742467474There was also that group chat/e-mail thread where every gaming journo would talk together and agree to do shit. "Let's all support X, let's give a positive review about Y and negative review about Z". That one guy leaked their bullshit and got blacklisted.
>>742467275Is there proper chud representation at AAA? Are they still protecting incompetent racist fuckers like Matt Hansen? Alec Holowka is still dead. The infrastructure that went after him is still there in western gaming. They need to move first.
>>742470664Because it wasn't a review. It was articles promoting her game.The whole "Sleeping for reviews" was a narrative pushed to try and discredit the allegations. It was coverage, not reviews.
>>742467147>literally haven't played a single game with those retards infeels good man
>>742472452>We didn't because we have no evidence, because it never happened.https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/admission-quest-valve-greenlights-50-more-gamesHe promoted her game without disclosing that they were in a relationship. Simple as that.You can't run away from this.
>>742472374I mean, they're paid to do that by publishers and other investement companies so it's not surprising. Quinns case was just so fucking blatant that people mocked it relentlessly.
>>742472452who cares. It started with zoe quinn but quickly became more about the massive sophisticated and coordinated backlash using both legacy + social media to silence a bunch of teenage shitposters on the internet.
>>742468515It's more of an incredibly bad sign that a production hires her to begin with. The Aliens VR game for example.
>>742471053>Try to analize history>Get your reply>Act disingenuous and try again>Same result>Act disingenuous and try again>Same result>
>>742472137>how would you know we were taking about archives?Because I read your postIt did catch my attention while I was scrolling through this thread because URLs are highlighted in the client I use for this site, so it stood out
>>742468528You kids might not know it, but 20, 30 years ago, the gaming press was pretty fucking important. It was a hobby press made of people who actually played fucking games.
reminder that she killed a guy and got rewarded for it
low effort trolling
>indie games who for some reason hire a woke consultant are dead on arrival>AAA games who hire a woke consultant get some sales from marketing>marketing which funny enough doesn't show any woke stuff>that's a surprise for the player :^)
>>742472248Yes, whether a game was successful or not clearly had no impact on firings as even successful games resulted in studio closures.
>>742472674yes and especially at that point the "new guard" was shifting from hobbyists to a bunch of hipster posers in california who thought they were too cool for gaming, which is another reason gamers hated journalists at that time.
>>74246727512 years a Chud
>>742472470she fucking harassed people for having scantily clad women in games then goes and fucks devs and journalist AT WORK for publicity, she's a two faced cunt
