Previous topic was deleted. The Illuminati is on 4chan?
There is a website with top developers (such as Carmack) that is invite-only. We do not know the contents. We only know the location.
Developers have active discussion on the website. This is literal behind-the-secones for the gaming industry. If any journalists are involved it's more proof that they're in bed with each other.
This is more vidya related than anything else related to the drama.

where can I find it then
>>259862806
I dug as deep as I could regarding the playffb.net team, and it seems that the team list is worthless, as it was created by one person (m0nty) that seems have read about GI in the planetcrap thread but not to know any specifics.
In fact, this thread is the only ressource we have is the planetcrap thread (http://www.planetcrap.com/topics/290/) that is massively bloated, off-topic and mostly useless. In there, I found this link
https://www.gameilluminati.com/bbs_story.php3?id=475&category=8 , but I can't seem to find the post again.
Now we at least know that there's a bbs at GI, but it can't be accessed while not logged in.

Well you guys blew any chances by making threads about this. First of all posting about it would be professional suicide as nobody would hire a rat willing to expose nasty shit.

Howerver what we do know is that its registered under the name of Duke Nuken co-creator and judging by what he dug up at the time its most likely a forum since its got a "hot topic" image in a folder he was able to access (no longer up)

>This is my first post, and I bring you some information that I find really interesting, though there are many versions/theories saying that it isn't anything, or that it's just a joke. What I know is that there are several people who are trying to get in [The website] and want to know what is behind it.
>Some people say it is a conspiracy... Other say that it is a secret order... Other that it is a terrorist group... In reality, we know that Game Illuminati is a forum where the biggest game developers meet. Rumours say that among the active members, Hideo Kojima (Creator of MGS), Hironobu Sakaguchi (Creator of FF), among others, who share special patches (removing the censorship in GTA, choosing other characters in MGS, etc.), and talk about themes that are related to the video game industry.
>When we attempt to get in the webpage (www.gameilluminati.com), a login screen pops up, it has a encryption protocol ( TLS v1.0 128 bit ARC4 (1024 bit RSA/SHA) ), when failing to connect it says:
"Username or Password not found".
(The following part is poorly written, so I may not translate it correctly)
>More information, it says that George Broussard is registered (co-creator of Duke Nukem), who invites to the forum to those who had launched a video game. Members say that the first tule of Gamerilluminati is not to talk about Gameilluminati.

I also downloaded some pictures of you(probably) that I wish I didn't.
Their lies are crumbling
>>259869225
I've already checked the website, it seems to be pretty robust. The best bet might be to try brute forcing a password for "John Feil", but considering we're dealing with competent people here that does not seem promising. I might check the login screen for sql injection tomorrow, but like I said, they're competent coders.
Also, someone already tried to get /g/ to hack the site. It didn't go well, and after 20 posts laughing at him the thread was deleted.
>>259867820
Depending on what goes down. I mean devs and journalists could be talking on /v/ right now in coded messages and shit making underhanded deals or on twitter, or at E3, or fucking anywhere.
>>259869595
>>259869608Unless that's what he wants you to think...Nuh, I trust Kojima, I wouldn't really believe a Japanese dev, especially someone so eccentric and unique as him would be associated with something like that.

I don't like to admit it, but that's pretty much it.
Well it's been fun script kiddies, gonna go back to calling phil a dick a few more times and then work a little.
the fact that people are up in arms even over this just shows how much the people and developers and journalist have fallen in our eyes.
the trust is basically broken.
I personally hope it isn't just indie developers that get ousted. I mean we all pretty much know EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar and the other big name/scumbag companies are corrupt.
But the "big boys" must be laughing at the rookies for getting caught.
Are there even decent people we can trust in this industry to do work that is to the benefit for video games as a whole?I personally trust Gaben, but that's just me and my experiences.

Gabe is the only one I can think of. Aren't they the largest private studio in the industry? Basically means they don't have to give one flying fuck about what the others are doing. Hell, they stood up to EA.

They're private, independent, relatively small, have a bizarre work ethic/corporate structure, and yet are one of the most successful companies in the industry. When someone asks you "which video game company is known for hiring notable modders to come work for them and actively encouraging community content creation as well as openly allowing monetisation of videos of their games?", you instantly know the answer is Valve. But why don't other companies do these things like Valve does? Why didn't Blizzard hire Icefrog during all those years? Why do some companies try to take down videos of their games, or steal the monetisation?
Neat, but this doesn't even seem harmful. Devs talking about dev shit with other devs is kind of to be expected, isn't it? This is only a problem if journos are involved too.
>>259878467
Thats literally the only reason why we need to break in.
Guys, stop with the telling 3rd parties or devs about this or trying to DDoS it like fucking /b/tards. This is anarchy, and we don't need it. We need to be discreet about it. We don't want publicity and we don't want to startle the guys behind the forum so they can cover everything up. This is a delicate matter.

because they arent valve
i dont think you understand how much money valve makes by doing NOTHING at all.
the community market alone is enough to overfund the company. now add the commissions they get for selling games.
steam made it to a point where they can generate revenue from nothing. they can make projects that generate losses and just shrug it off because of how much money they are making. most people that work at valve dont even do anything and work on their own projects.
if another company attempted to be like valve theyd need to remove valve first to fill their place and that aint gonna happen
>>259879341
I'd consider myself fairly redpilled, and this is absolutely nothing like what goes on in other industries if it's what it appears to be. The clique the journos and Quinn are a part of is the problem. Game devs talking to each other about game dev shit only game devs can even understand is just keeping good communications between creators in the industry.
>>259879534
They're hardly doing 'nothing at all'. Maintaining the biggest digital distribution service for video games takes a lot of work.
>>259878467
>This is only a problem if journos are involved too.
>Find secret area where journalist talk directly to developers for what scores to give games and what stories to publish

Gaben is a jew just like the rest of them, the only difference is that he hasn't fallen out of the eyes of the retards that suck his cock.
>>259879534
How exactly does any of what you said relate to hiring modders, involving the community in content creation and encouraging monetised videos? Why can't Bethesda with all their money hire one of the many modders who fix and add valuable content to the shitty games they release? How are these concepts somehow unique to Valve, and only Valve can have them, and nobody else can do it as long as Valve is around?
>>259880095
Because Valve can make money off of other services and have the market cornered with Steam.
>>259880013
>Steam sales are bad
Fuck off
>>259879341
A community of devs is fine, so long as suits and journalists aren't part of it. The problem has nothing to do with Josh Sawyer telling Tom Hall how much he liked Anachronox or some shit on some super sekret vidya dev forum. I still want to know what's being said on there, if anything, about this whole situation though.
>>259880313
Steam sales aren't bad.
Making it a game where "IF YOU BUY THE MOST YOU WIN!!!" Is bad.
/v/, why are you wasting time with this shit? You're losing focus. Keep pressure on the gaming media. Focus on the San Fran area, that seems to be where most of the dirt is concentrated. Call out Patreon links between journos and devs. Stop getting distracted by dumb shit.
>>259880458
>printing money from retards is bad
If you arent retarded, there is no reason to care
>>259880242
How the fuck does that have anything to do with what I'm saying? Are you fucking stupid?
>have the market cornered with Steam
What the fuck is going on in your head? Not once did I say "why don't other companies make digital distribution platforms to compete with Steam?" I said things like being quick to hire notable people from the modding community who have demonstrated talent. How does that have ANYTHING to do with Steam, a service for buying and downloading video games?
>>259880630
>>printing money from retards is bad
So it's only okay when Gaben does it?
Gotcha.That's the same bullshit excuses biodrones use. Fuck off.

Now you're just ASKING people to look further...
>>259880375
Imagine you are a dev who was created a successful game, or the owner of a successful game company. Wouldn't you want feedback from your peers and a place where your peers can gather to give you that feedback, free from reading what some dumbfuck shitposter on /v/ has to say?
That's all this appears to be. Unless journalists are involved, there's no reason to break in and ruin their safe haven from our bullshit.

/v/ is not one person. There are hundreds of anons on /v/, /pol/ and even /b/ who are discussing and working on different areas of the problem. Have you ever seen a Police Station where every single cop in working on the same case?
>>259862806
Has anyone noticed that the majority of game franchises that a large portion of people hate started right around 2001, maybe a year or two after?
This is the only thing that spooks me.
Think about it, as one anon mentioned, this website started at the same time as Halo, which, by many, is considered to be one of the games that started the trend of cookie cutter FPS games we have now. (Let's not start flame wars, I'm trying to have a serious conversation about this.)
I feel like someone, or some company on this website is secretly influencing nearly all big game companies.
Just an idea.
Feel free to build upon this idea.

How can you stand posting in that rating hivemind shit? Post an unpopular opinion and it gets spammed with fucking disagrees and dumb boxes. It would be 100% better without that shit.
>>259881279
Yeah. This is literally the Zion of video games.
>>259881279
Halo was in development for a very long time, beginning as a Mac exclusive strategy game iirc. Industry trends being orchestrated has little to do with Halo as far as I'm concerned.
It's Microsoft's entry into the console market that was the true cause. It's Sega pulling out, and Microsoft going in.
If there's any dirt to be dug up about that, then it could be worthwhile.
