Is gaming journalism well and truly corrupt?
I would like /v/'s honest opinion.
Can it be saved? Is it worth saving? What can we do?
Yes, no, no, nothing
>>258620470
OP here, any proof of corruption would also be appreciated, I think we need to talk about it
>>258620470
Many are. Not all, but many. Just due to the system in place, not really from some actually backstabbing bribes.
Sadly, mods may delete this thread because they're just as corrupt as the other journalist sites. They just deleted two threads about the "you know what" scandal.
Gaming journalism isn't genuine journalism.
That's the reason why you can't call it corrupt: its function is to sell you games. Nothing more.
So no, no and nothing.
>gaming journalism
>journalism
It's nothing but thinly veiled ads. It'll never have any sort of journalistic standards.
Yes
No
No
Nothing
Why should i care what 'journalists' think about the game, I'm the one playing it.

>>258620470
>gaming "journalism"
It's like those pages in magazines that look like real articles that are actually ads, except make that an entire industry.
>>258620698
But to answer your question op, yes "gaming journalism" is corrupt but so are all forms of media. It's very possible to save it but it's not likely at this point.

YOOOOO that guy is still posting new threads. Gods work my man. GODS WORK
>>258620708
Unless a group of people with the heart of Gaben create geniun journalism.
Hey friends here's a fun little tip for you!
If you see a thread you believe isn't about video games on /v/ then you:
>Report it
>Hide it
>Move on
But remember kids the absolute worst thing you can do is reply to it especially if you happen to be bumping the thread in the process! And never forget it's the Mod's and Janitor's job to decide what is and isn't vidya not yours!
>>258620838
Your video games are going to be raped if these people have their way.
>>258620826
I want it all to burn
>>258620470
gaming COLUMNISTS are corrupt if that's what you're asking
if we don't take action now, we settle for nothing later
let's bring em down /v/
better question, are nether regions of the internet that used to discuss gaming and its context freely also well and truly corrupt??
>>258620698
That would be really sad, especially since the 'you know what' scandal is more relevant to gaming and game journalism than 80% of /v/ threads at any given time.
>Scandal about game journalist and associated employer possibly having shit integrity
>NO NO NO NOT RELEVANT
>right next to that thread: BIGGEST TITS IN VIDYA ITT, CLAIM YOUR WAIFU IN VIDYA
This is entirely relevant and shouldn't be deleted. Only proves /v/ is containment and nothing more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5-51PfwI3M
POOL RULES:
>stay on topic
>no ad hominem attacks (including Anons, Zoe, etc.)
>no insulting the mods (this is the quickest way to get your thread deleted, they're very touchy)
>if someone tells you this isn't vidya, ignore them
>STAY ON TOPIC
>>258620826
>>258620923
Alright, this is what we're really here for anyway.
DISCUSS THIS WITHOUT MEMESPOUTING AND IGNORE ANY SJWS OR BAWW-OFFTOPIC WHINERS

>>258620971
you have to understand
the score isn't referring to how good the game is at a whole
just how good it would be to its primary audience
for the starters, party babies is aimed at moronic retards who actually think the score means anything
>>258621130
Yes, well, you go first, Allah akbar

what can we do guys?
Speaking of video game journalism and its relevance to video games did you guys get a load of this chick. Holy moley!
>>258620470
Go throw up facts on twitter tags that retards parse through.
Go bomb comments sections of gaming sites with the evidence of all this BS that's been happening.
Go email off the facts with sources to people you might still consider trustworthy or even hungry enough to run an article on it.
Just make this shit explode.
For a bunch of people who hate gaming journalism, you all sure care a hell of a lot about it.
>>258621170
>no ad hominem attacks (including Anons, Zoe, etc.)
This has never been against the rules, we'll scream abusive nonsense on our board as much as we want.
More developers need things like Nintendo Directs. Send us YOUR message, don't let ANYONE ELSE send it for you.
If you're trusting someone else with your art, you cannot be fucking trusted, just like the journalist cannot be fucking trusted.
I (PC only) read pretty much 4chan, PCGamesN, Eurogamer, and Gamesindustry.biz only
bit of twitter and youtube
ignore most scores, personal opinions, etc
just sorta mix and match general opinions of multiple people, and other people playing the games to see how they play
>>258621212
Publishers hire markets which will take in to account what journalists say.
It can happen, games have caved in before.
I really don't want to make meta posts but can the mods at least try to clarify why these are being deleted? Gaming "jounalism" is reaching a critical point and as IA's video made pretty clear even for retards saying otherwise, it IS tampering with the medium as a whole.
THIS IS VIDEO GAMES
Remember to contact [email protected] concerning the mod censorship occurring in /v/
>>258621212
They already are. For examples, see Bioware and over half of indie games.
>>258620470
Tl;dr, no, it would have to be torn up by its very roots in order to be salvaged.
>>258621171
do some research then
just pretend you're in school anon, do some fucking research
>>258621327
Then you'll have another deleted thread on your hands.
>>258620470
I really hope the you know what finally wakes up some people to how fucking screwy and conceited gaming sites can be.
>>258621323
I don't hate gaming journalism. In fact, I can say that at one time, I loved it.
I hate what it's become.
Even more so, I hate MYSELF for letting it happen.
We can fix this. This scandal is just the proof we need to force change.
Remember
>he does it for free
>>258620815
because journalists determine what casuals care about, which in turn determines how all games are made
news flash, no one gives a shit about you as an individual. they care about what the majority's wallet says
if the vocal majority says having a penis is a sin, then guess what
it is
Thanks for ruining video games, tumblr. I just don't care anymore. Someone put me in an arwing and ship me off to corneria. Constant war is better than watching my favorite hobby die.
>>258620470
Speaking of gaming journalism, can you show me some of the most disgustingly bad examples?
Ideally blatantly paid reviews or similar, rather than SJW nonsense.
I need it for research purposes. (Not serious research, just personal research for my own interests.)
>>258621373
>can the mods at least try to clarify why these are being deleted?
Holy shit.
If you really need it spelled out for you, then get off of 4chan.

Yes, with the fallout of Gone Home winning every award under the sun and the recent Quinnsiracy it is clearly apparent that it is one big circle jerk.

No.

No.
What can we do?
Just don't listen to them, ignore them. Let them die off just like gossip magazines.
>>258621327
That's why I said pool rules. It implies "if you don't do those, you're not gonna get arrested but you are going to have a bad time. I can't stop you. You need to stop yourself." We get nowhere if we just keep posting Five Guys jokes.

No its fucked. Unsalvageable. Everything needs to be torn down and built back up from scratch, which wont happen, at least not by us or any one group of people. It'll just collapse in on itself eventually, hopefully.
Whores being whores is not video games even if they are game "devs." Take it to /b/ where it belongs.
A few months ago I had a serious intention of buying some web hosting and creating my own gaming site. Just reviews, though. No blog shit, no "gaming culture" tripe...just reviews of games I was playing or had finished. I decided against it, especially since we already had p4r which I thought filled the niche well enough.
All of this is making me consider it again, though. Web hosting is pretty cheap, all things considered, so if nothing else it could be a pet project, even if I don't get many/any readers.
I still remember Kane and Lynch.
I still remember IGN God Hand.
I still remember Gamespot Freedom Unite.
This has been a huge problem for so damn long and it seems every time the issue pops up there's always this little group of loud people telling you to shut up and don't dare talk about it.

Just because we ignore them doesn't mean casuals will.

I forget.
/v/ liked Yahtzee, then hated him because he got really popular, then some people started to say they liked him just to troll/spite the rest of /v/.
He's still relatively popular, so I guess /v/ hates him, but I don't even know anymore.
journalism is dying and nowadays no one can trust (and shouldn't immediately trust) what they read.

No hell has a better chance of being saved. It is not worth saving. Nothing.
>>258621832
You can't just ignore it and hope it goes away, because it wont. Even if nobody talked about it she'd continue doing what she does and rising higher and higher.
Nothing is ever fixed by looking the other way.
I never really paid much attention to what journalists say, ever. I honestly could care less if they find something offensive, or if they think a game is good or not. I'll be the judge of that, depending on if I want to even play the game in the first place. That being said, I really don't want to see the gaming industry become effected by these people. Admittedly, most of the games I play are from Japan, and they generally don't give a fuck what anyone says, but I still don't like the idea of a small group of people dictating what kinds of games are made.
Yellow journalism exists fucking everywhere now, not just in video games
>>258621650
gatheryourparty already exists.
It sucks because they're too safe and not sensationalist enough.

>>258621969
SRS and white knights are known to infest populated boards on 4chan to try and quell any "riots" against their masters
This whole thing reminds me of what happened to the creator of the cartoon "Clarence", Skyler Page.

No one gives a shit about her being an unloyal slut except for /r9k/ faggots. It's about her using those relationships to boost her own agenda. Same shit happened with Dina of Mighty No. 9
>>258621138
I agree completely, Anon. With how corrupt gaming journalism has become, devs won't even have to attempt to make good games in the future. They can just fuck their way to the top, and they'll get a GOTY like Gone Home. Not only will they have an "award" for making fucking nothing, but they will have an audience to eat their shit up.
Look at how retarded Dragon Age: Inquisition looks. Look at how stupid it looks when you try to integrate modern ideals into a setting that's derived from MIDDLE EARTH. On the other hand, Witcher 3 gets slammed by SJWs even though it paints a much more accurate picture of "Ye Olde" culture than DA:I.
SJWs are a cancer. They hold back developers from creating enthralling worlds, and they are only content with women's power fantasies. Look at that one Shitaku article that focuses on how straight white men shouldn't play as themselves. Video games have had players play as aliens, skeletons, gods, and demons, yet these cunts get upset because some guy wants to play as an accurate representation of himself in an RPG? This is related to video games, /v/. If this issue isn't dealt with ASAP, then video games will become worse.
>>258622226

>>258622310
>>258622226
/v/ threw Kain under the bus, plus there's not nearly enough evidence for this to be newsworthy, especially not Forbes.
>>258622235
No, there is no way to rob their power. It's over, they've won. They have a mainstream readerbase we'll never be able to influence, and if we try to discredit them they can just keep peddling their usual "gamers are misogynist bullies" line and everyone will lap it up.
Just move on. Good games will still come out at least sometimes, we just won't be able to trust what the "journalists" are saying about them.
>>258621950
Remember, they do it for free guys.
>>258620470
Why haven't some /v/irgins made a gayming jernalizm site that wasn't full of SJW bullshit, non-games and biased reviews? It seems like a logical step forward, sense most of /v/ hates modern gaming journalism.
>>258622032
It doesn't matter. The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. Publicity is a wonderful thing and you're unwillingly being the helpful idiot by making sure everyone knows who Zoe Quinn is. And the next time she releases a game, it's get ten times the attention purely due to brand recognition. It doesn't matter whether it's positive or not, people will get it through sheer curiosity and "journalists" will report on it because everyone knows the person behind it. There's a reason why celebrities thrive on scandals.

>BUT THEY DEFENDED HER ANYWAY
Yeah the people who are fucking paid to defend her kept defending her, are you really trying to argue that not a single person stopped listening to her bullshit because she was outed as a scam artist?
This is not a campaign to stop anyone from speaking no matter how fucking retarded they are, this is a campaign to document just how retarded they are, everyone who is on the fence, everyone who doesn't fully understand the issue and just looks for random opinions, every little piece of info that comes out against them is another push for them to understand just how much nonsense they spew.
The point where the SJWs are the only voices being heard is the point where they win and they do what they want, no it doesn't fucking matter that they don't listen to reason in their little hugbox communities, they're a tiny minorty, we're a tiny minority.

Why do you need video game journalism?
Want a review of a game? Pirate it yourself and then decide. Then buy if you like it.
Read press releases from publishers yourself.
Who gives a fuck about gaming awards anyway?
There. All fixed.

>>258622610
Keep talking about it. Continue to have the discussion and keep putting pressure on Kotaku. That's all we can do but it can be enough if we actually be serious about this.
>>258622679
That mod is a massive fucking hypocrite and a pretentious faggot. It was never about her cheating bullshit, but the implications of her sleeping around in the industry. People couldn't discuss this ANYWHERE. It was littlerally shutdown everywhere but /pol/.
Fuck off.
>>258622816
>the /v/ mods
Mods are global
>>258622619
Because fuckwit those "journalists" are "the voice of the gamers" and devs look to THEM to see what "we like"
goddamn you're a dense nigger
>>258622678
Guy made a blog post about Zoe Quinn, turns out she's a cunt who sleeps with people so they write good reviews of her games.
Mods decided that any thread about her is against rule 4. Not that some aren't of course, but deleting every single thread about her is stupid.
>>258622540
Maybe Zoe Quinn is fucking everyone on the /v/ moderation team?
Wouldn't surprise me.
>>258622235
No ignoring them is what has lead to this problem in the first fucking place.
Anyone have that pic of the orignal mens rights movment from the ealry 1900s that said just ignore them. That ended well right.
>>258622678
Zoe Quinn was found to be having sex with journalist who push her game on kotaku/rps.
SHE IS NOT EVEN HOT, WHAT THE FUCK.

The black Chie is hot.
Yes it's corrupt.
Maybe it can be saved, if the people involved are pure of heart and deed.
Is it worth saving? Probably.
What can we do? Short of being the pure of heart and deed, nothing. And GYP shows that /v/ journalism is anything but pure of heart and deed.

He wont pick this up. He is a SJW at heart himself. When he talks about GAMES is when he is fair. He used to defend Sarkesian.
>>258622763
holy fuck are you dumb
no you're not worth explaining to, if you cna't understand the concept of gathering facts and debate then you don't deserve any explanation. you're a goddamn retard and I can't wait for your mentally defective ass to drop dead
Everything is corrupt.
SJWs are the cancer here, not journalists. Journalists are just doing what they usually do.
SJWs need to be put in a camp and shot. I think we can afford the bullets.

>>258620698
Every one of those threads turns into invasion circlejerk witchhunts on par with eceleb threads.
They. Are. Not. Vidya. Fucking get over it. And while you're at it, stop spamming /pol/ with threads about how /v/'s mods are SJWs for banning what are clearly eceleb threads. It's really fucking annoying.
Journalism in general is a fucking joke these days. It only reflects in these stupid screengame ratemedoos because the actual news agencies have the same problems. You could even say corruption and soapboxing has become an industry standard.
It probably won't fix itself at this rate, but if it does, we won't live to see a turnaround in quality.
>>258622876
That's because it belongs on /pol/.
Hey I like that Offspring Fling game that Kyle Pulver made. Is there anything more in depth about how he's related to this scandal?
>>258622997
It belongs here. It's /v/ related. Too bad we have cunt mods and white knights reporting everything.
>>258622876
>it was littlerally shutdown everywhere but /pol/.
Gee, I wonder if that had anything to do with the threads being "THIS SLUT FUCKED FIVE GUYS, LET'S MAKE BURGER JOKES INSTEAD AND CALL WOMEN BITCHES AND WHORES INSTEAD OF DISCUSSING JOURNALISM"
>>258622896
Fucking do they? I thought they looked at all the money they get when their games sell?
I think your giving these "journalists" too much credit.
>all those links to Quinnspiracy Theory
Let's admit it, she's a pathetic nobody. First, she tried to get more recognition for her shitty "game" on greenlight. It failed until she cooked up some bullshit about how wizardchan supposedly e-bullied her. Then she fucked a guy to promote her game. Then another, and another, and another, and another. She had to fuck five guys to get them to give positive feedback for her pile of shit. And the funniest part is that she did all of this for free. Her shitty non-game is free and she still went through all this trouble, because her game is that bad.
>>258622938
>spammed
threads went to bump limit, new one made, only started getting "spammed" because mods not letting ANYONE talk about it
>>258622870
This, pretty much. Maybe there's someone out there who can fix this, but it sure as hell isn't the 15-year-olds on /v/ who can't address the issue rationally or structure an argument without huge fallacies and resorting to name-calling. Just look at that youtube video, it's fucking embarrassing to watch even if he's more or less on the right side. Nobody is going to take crap like that seriously though.
>>258622919
A hole's a hole to some people.
>>258622896
Most journalists are paid off and are glorified advertisements for games. Devs know that, they're not looking to the very reviews they paid for for insight. That's what focus groups are for

"video game journalism is corrupt."
There. That's all there is to discuss.
Good thread everyone, go home.
>>258623078
Which is, coincidentally enough, pretty much exactly what the review said.
Mediocre. Average. Okay.
>>258623017
To be COMPLETELY fair, Sarkesian might've been shit, but /v/ blew it out of proportion just because she had a different opinion. Sure she borderline scammed using kikestarter, but she is technically delivering.
However, this is corruption plain and simple.
>>258622938
That comment has nothing to do with mods deleting the threads and everything to do with their moronic logic that you can only care about one thing happening in the world at once and anyone who cares about video game journalism corruption is an asshole who doesn't care about what's happening in Israel or Ukraine.
>>258623132
>mods not letting ANYONE talk about it
>talking about it right now
>>258623102
That was after all threads on /v/ pertaining to the journalism bit kept getting axed. It was being censored regardless of the intent of the thread.

They are fucking vidya because the the whole five guys thing brings the whole corruption thing to a head.
I'm tired of having my vidya shit on because special snowflakes find thing x or y problematic, and I'm fucking done with it. You can go fuck off back to your little shithole or simply filter the thread rather than shitpost in it.

>>258620698
What leverage can Quinn possibly have on /v/ that they keep doing this?
>>258622645
There will always be good vidya anon, the problem is being blown way out of proportion. Stay away from /v/ and other shitty sites with vidya news and you start to see just how miniscule this problem really is and how little it truly effects (affects?) the industry as a whole.
And if it does all start crumbling down one day then so be it, all good things must come to an end and vidya is no different

We all collectively tell them to fuck off. Kotaku should take a huge blow of credibility if this spreads around.
>>258622876
>Everywhere but /pol/
Either it's
a) Eceleb bullshit
b) Political bullshit
Eituer way, it doesn't fucking belong here. Stop turning /v/ into your fencepost you gossipwhore.
None of you actually go to Kotaku, right? Because even giving them site traffic is supporting them.
