The gaming universe has expanded beyond consoles in recent years to include players -- many of them women -- of casual and social games such as "FarmVille" and "Candy Crush." According to one survey, 48% of gamers are now female.

>More women also are entering gaming as developers or game reviewers. And increasingly they're speaking out about what they perceive as sexism in the industry.

>"For 30 years now video games have really been perceived as a boys' club. You've had video games made by men, for men," game designer Brianna Wu said this week.


I wonder if Brianna Wu realizes that people don't hate her because she's a female game dev, but because her game looks like and is shit. Wait, of course she realizes this but she hides behind BOO HOO U HATE ME BECAUSE I AM WOMAN

Those studies mean jack fucking shit. They consider if you play one game ONCE in your entire life, it constitutes you being a gamer. It makes no distinction between the casual mobile phone demographic and the PC/consoles demographic. That study that was done around 2004 or so stated that the most played game for both men and women was solitaire. So playing solitaire that comes with windows constitutes you being a gamer when they play nothing but solitaire? That's why these loaded studies are bogus and are only designed to push an agenda.

>>268127817
Holy shit you are right. People like that do not practice what they preach.

>>268128283
But what if Bayonetta was originally called Bayonet starring a male character but she hated men so much she turned the main character into a strong independent woman who is in control of her sexuality? You can clearly see Bayonetta is nothing but misandry parading around as misogyny to disguise and validate itself.

See the backwards mental gymnastics I can do to justify just about anything?

GG has completely and utterly failed because it continues to preach about wanting fair and ethical gaming journalism without corruption but it's only targets are SJWs

It's "not anti-SJW" but the only things it complains about are SJ and anyone who is a SJW. There has been no attempt to target corruption, only an attempt to target SJWs.

Now GG spends it's days trying to prove it's innocence instead of actually DOING anything. Practically everything said on the hashtag be a GG supporter is in defense. They have no point to make. Just "we're not bad guys"

Okay, you're not bad. Now what? What do you wanna say?
>f-fuck polygon

Oh wow, great job. It's just "fuck SJWs" again. That's all it's ever been. And the entire time you said it wasn't, but nobody did shit when it was revealed youtubers were paid for coverage, nor did you do anything to change how actual big game companies felt about coverage, nor did you try to undermine or target ANYONE other than SJWs.

I don't like SJWs either, but the movement is a fucking joke, and for every 1 person with a half-decent point, you've got 1000 goddamn edgy kids who haven't got a fucking clue throwing shit everywhere and crying about liberals.

Can you share some please? The majority of what I've seen consists of "if you look at this in a certain way then you can tell this person didn't send it" and then proceeds to make a massive logical jump in that because said person didn't send it that it must have been made by the personal complaining about being harassed.

Their targeted audience is more of the "casual" crowd, not that there is anything wrong with it. I don't watch much Jontron, but TotalBiscut really just gives his opinions on games (as well as some controversies) and is an outspoken supporter of transparency and is very much against unethical relationships between reviewers/gaming press and developers. I disagree with some of his opinions and analysis, but I can at least trust that he has a fair opinion about whatever he is reviewing (even if he is more... casual about it).

Do people not understand that having a targeted audience you don't belong to≠bad?

The majority of gaming sites (wisely) decided to stay out of the SJW-GG stuff, but that has almost nothing to do with how ethical the websites are.

What makes PCGamer great is their objectivity and zero-bullshit policy. They don't go on about sexism or whatever in video games, they just review how fun it is to play the game. They never go into irrelevant gaming "culture" topics or e-celeb e-drama, they just report the news that's relevant to PC gamers. They never publish serious clickbait, there's the occasional "our top 17 best games featuring dogs!" article, but these are rare and very easy to avoid.

Too bad the new website design is ugly as fuck, but at least the RSS feeds remain untouched.

What's interesting to me is that they constantly roll out this 48% figure taken from casual games when they want to make a point about how many women are in the community now, but these are people the sites themselves are largely ignoring. 9 out of 10 gaming sites are not writing articles about shit like Candy Crush and Farmville and casual games that actually has these female players.

They use the casual audience to make their sexism point, then totally ignore it when it comes to actually producing site content.

My point is and always has been that moot is the ultimate decider here for what stays and what goes. No one else. Moot, and his team of mods.

There's no accountability. There's no court. You can't complain that your free speech is being suppressed and have someone do something about it, because no one else cares. There's only moot.

Hence my point that it isn't "free speech" - just tolerated by the site admins.

They are so objective and publish such high-quality articles because they're ACTUAL JOURNALISTS
PCG is one of the last gaming paper magazines. People actually subscribe to it and pay them money and in return receive a physical magazine to their homes every month. Most articles on PCG's website are just articles they published on the previous issue. Since they write to an actual audience on an real journalistic platform they hold themselves up to journalistic standards.
I really wish more people would read PCG. It's one of the best gaming websites out there, period. Especially for consoleless games like me, since they automatically filter out all the peasant shit and release PC-oriented content you rarely find on other gaming sites (shit like hardware reviews and mod spotlights). They're also not plebs and actually talk about strategy games and Dwarf Fortress.

Well no shit, that's what I've been saying from the beginning. If GamerGate really is about "journalistic integrity" and "ethics" it would've been triggered by Kane & Lynch, not some whore sleeping around.

And I SUPPORT GamerGate. I don't like SJWs invading and colonizing our hobby for the own agenda. I don't like the complete disconnect between the gaming public and gaming journalism. I don't like how games are now being reviewed based on their SJW-friendliness more than their quality. I just wish GG would stop pretending it's something else.

For that matter, I really wish the anti-GG people stop pretending it's something else either. Stop with the MUH HARASSMENT.

No, GG literally happened because a bunch of faggots on /v/ hate SJWs and saw it as their opportunity to get them out of gaming. If they care at all about "corruption", it is secondary.
