Just read them before you do the math

Cevilia, do gaming w Diablo Devs Unionize Following Layoffs And Dissatisfaction With AI, Pay | Aftermath

Did this title get cut off?

PatheticGroundThing,

It’s just a journalist thing to replace an ‘and’ with a comma. The devs are dissatisfied with AI and pay.

Cevilia,

Weird, the ampersand is right there. But ok :)

bread, (edited ) do gaming w Waypoint Writers Quit Over Removal Of Articles Related To New Steam Policy [Update] - Aftermath

I’ll post my comment from another thread on the same subject: I have very little respect for Valens’ writing after seeing articles spreading lies and essentially striking out at a vtuber company for being rejected by them. Vice is crap, but Valens is no better.

Rose,

Not a great idea to call someone out for spreading lies but not support the claim with evidence. Also, what are your honest thoughts on Gamergate?

I’m not going to dispute point-for-point; I exclusively post from my phone and it would be too much work. An example would be taking a clip out of context, i.e. a vtuber talking about someone else’s talking points, and portraying it as though they are the vtuber’s opinions.

Gamergate? I don’t really care.

Rose,

You could still name names and link the article(s), then offer a verifiable summary as to why you believe the coverage is inaccurate. You’re not disputing that Kirsche is transphobic and that there is a genuine-looking clip of them being racist though, are you?

I’ll reply to the two last bits:

  1. Notice how it’s specifically about activists, not all trans people. As far as I’m aware she has not expressed hate for trans people.
  2. I think she was discussing Kier Starmer’s statement on the matter. There are two sides to “The Great Replacement Theory.” One is factual, and supported by people such as Starmer, and one is an antisemitic theory. She was talking about the former. That’s not racism.

At first I read it as “friendship isn’t real” and thought that was a weird thing to say

Eheran, do games w Indie Dev Who Pulled Game From Xbox In Solidarity With Palestinian-Led BDS Hopes Others Will Do The Same

What did XBox do/say?

my_hat_stinks,

First paragraph of the article:

Earlier this month, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement added Microsoft to its list of priority targets due to the company’s intense entanglement with the Israeli military via Azure cloud and AI services. Specifically, BDS called for supporters to boycott Xbox, including Game Pass, individual games, and future purchases of consoles and peripherals. Now, in a show of solidarity, indie label Ice Water Games has removed one of its projects, open-world tactics RPG Tenderfoot Tactics, from the Xbox store.

SchmidtGenetics,

First paragraph dude…

DoucheBagMcSwag, do gaming w Healers In Marvel Rivals Went On Strike [Aftermath]

TLDR for those who can’t be arsed to click;

Back in March, Necros (influencer) lashed out at support players in Marvel Rivals, calling them “idiots” and “morons.”

theangriestbird,

i’unno, i feel like there’s way more to the story than that. I thought it was a fun read, a complete story front to back.

MrKurteous, do gaming w Threshold Is A Creepy Mystery About Jobs - Aftermath

This article got me to play it, really cool game, I’m impressed by how much it does with quite little. It does feel like there’s some secret I haven’t figured out despite replying it, so haha I really want to get my friends playing it so I can spawn ideas about it!

Mango, do games w Freelance Video Game Journalists Are Propping Up The Industry, And Many Are Being Paid Dogshit In Return

No they aren’t.

Lost_My_Mind,

Great contribution to the conversation. It’s short. It’s direct. It leaves a huge amount of confusion what you’re even saying. Are you saying the industry doesn’t underpay? Are you saying the writers don’t prop up the industry? Who’s to say? Certainly not you! Because you didn’t say…

Valmond,

Yeah, he’s just doing bad faith posts to stirr up discussion. Rebuttals are low quality too, will not feed him again.

graymess, do gaming w Spellbreak, Shut Down When Its Developer Was Acquired By Blizzard, Is Still Alive - Aftermath

Always cool to see a thriving online community after a game’s official shutdown. All possible because the devs released a self hosted version, something increasingly rare these days. And it works on Steam Deck? Might have to check this out.

RedditRefugee69, do games w Sony's Neil Druckmann Interview Shows Why We Need Journalists

After wasting 10 minutes of my life analyzing it… I don’t see the point of people getting enraged, nor how this relates to gaming journalism

Goronmon,

Without journalism (or just a third-party in general) providing perspectives and communication in some way, you are relying primarily on the information coming directly from the companies themselves.

In this case we see that Sony was willing to fabricate quotes about an interview.
