Tell that to Kotaku and Gamasutra. They've each lost a quarter or more of their advertising revenue since they chose the wrong side.

When Intel themselves tells you to **** off, you've done screwed the pooch.

Wrong side? There is no right or wrong side in what has become a pathetic drama that Grimpak nicely summarized.

I vehemently disagree with you and I condemn actions that affects people's livelihood because it is harassment, plain and simple. It is no different from doxxing someone for speaking out in support of one thing or another and subsequently threatening the person with all kinds of nasty things, in order to silence them.

Have you no shame?

I strongly disagree with the "affects people's livelihood" part.

If they suck at their job, or if they manage to **** off the core constituency of their magazine, or blatantly denounce their largest advertising partner, that's a pretty fair reason for someone to lose their job. (since that's the guy I'm talking about, by the way, the one who managed to **** off Intel until they pulled their ads from his site. And since you're so concerned about "doxxing" someone who writes with their real name, I shan't say it here either)

People are allowed to fail, you realize. Moreso if they set out to make people mad at them. Turns out? You got what you were looking for, just not how you thought it would go.

I am actually quite surprised that you haven't done much research yourself on why gamergate exist, all you seem to think of gamergate is that it is nothing but misogyny.



I remember that incident with Geoff Keighley (as well as his spat with Angry Joe), those dead eyes as he sits between the Doritos and Mountain Dew are unforgettable. That whole episode was painful to watch:

"Before you go, do you have any advice for an aspiring games journalist?"

"Yeah! ... I mean, my advice is the same I tell everyone. It's, ah... you know, you buy Mountain Dew, you buy Doritos, you get a code... you go to dew-xp.com, enter that code, link it to your gamer tag, and then you're gonna get some experience in the gaming news"

I must thank you for confirming what I have suspected since this all started. Both sides ran out of arguments a long time ago and the only means left to get to each other is now to attempt making people lose their jobs regardless if they screw up or not (news flash: people screw up all the time).

Sounds incredibly petty and childish to me.

Well, you said it. I for one have no clue what you're talking about, since it seems to me that you're just pulling things out of thin air.

To me, this is confronting about fraud and abuse, and people who would defend it. All should face consequences for their actions. Some already have. That's fine with me, and then some.

[Didn't read the posts in this thread, but] Power to you GamerGate movement. Get out, little arsewipe male gaming bullies! You are not wanted here!

Why would these guys want to be mean to the few women in our tribe? If they can't get along with the creative and imaginative women in our circle, they oughtt to get out and try their energies at the clubs, gyms, Starbucks, whatever. They might come back with a new appreciation of gamer/goth/cosplay/manga/anime/whatever chicks a hell of a lot more. But of course those cool women still will not need those losers.

Sucks to be a mean loser.

You ask me to take a blogger seriously? Might as well take Kotaku serious next.

I have a great deal of respect for any creative and imaginative women in the games/tech industry who rely on their skills rather than their vagina.

Maybe I am just old-fashioned?

I hear you man. The background of the story goes back to some bedroom incidents, big emotions, and at the same the old drama of boys and girls coming out to play. Add to that co-workers spice and some ambitions sauce, and an headless internet carburetor mixing chamber. Combustible fuel and gaseous opinions-- asplodey! An Edgar Allen Poe character could not track it down to a conclusion.

Don't know all the facts in this situation, but to me, it seems the 90% boys should be nicer to the 10% girls. Boys and girls do things different, each are better at their own. It's been that way for 100,000 years, and it's still not understood or resolved. Such is the root of most arts, music, literature, and human endeavor. Vive la difference!
