Wow, this was a good read, great job.
I wished cooler heads prevailed in what became this huge mess, because as you mentioned there are worthy topics of discussion to have. It's also a shame it devolved into what it did, because it didn't do anyone any bit of good.
Thanks.
I feel the same way about those particular game journalists, too busy looking to puff themselves up and denegrate people than to actually do a little introspection. It's something that probably would've prevented such a major backlash.
I got infected at the sewer facility, guess that's what I get for being a Rookie.
I'd love to go to an event like this eventually, looks like so much fun.
Which makes all those 'gamers are dead/gaming culture is dead' articles all the more bizzare to me. Sure you get some short-term spikes as far as clicks go, but I doubt those same people will continue looking at your site after being repeatedly insulted.
I've seen the comments from people comparing gamers to the terrorist group ISIS, but the Hitler Youth is a new one to me.
Signed, hopefully something comes of it.
