RWarehall: Makes you wonder who suggested the Sunset developers donate to Anita $40k...could it have been their PR person, Leigh Alexander?
The sad thing is that I'm sure the money came in the form of a "donation", so Anita can deny all responsibility.
Reminds me of the movie, the Big Easy about corrupt cops in Louisiana. The part where they are taking donations for the "Widows and Orphans" fund which went to their own pockets...
Of course if they were paying attention, they would have noticed most of Anita's followers don't actually buy games as evidenced by that video awhile back talking about Anita's last video and how when she praised a certain game, the user count on Steam did not go up.
The sad thing is based on the footage the game looked kind of interesting, but her lack of reach with the gamer audience made the game so irrelevant (or rather kept it in that state) that even those like me who felt some interest don't even remember the name of that game. The aGG press insists gamers are not the audience, but they are proven wrong by the fact that the games they support, or pretend they do, don't get a boost on sals bacause of tehir support, sometimes their support is even detrimental since now people suspect there could be an secret agenda behind the support of that game.

Sunset was a trainwreck from the begining, but the game Sarkeesian actually advertised seemed interesting.

LeonardoCornejo: Apparently the creators of Sunset paid Sarkeesian to support their game (Which she did not but still got the money)
This is why we target indie devs, because they do this kind of crap so often.

Given her skills at marketing and social manipulation as well as not coming thorough on her Kickstarter project, I suppose its in her character to pocket money that was not earned.

A well executed scam I'll give her that.

But really bugs me is how people view news media and how news media operates as a business. It's simply in the interest of business to propagate controversy without investigating the truth of the matter. As we have seen from MSM coverage this and other events. Truth was never on the table nor was it considered.

So why do most people still trust the news as an honest reporting of events covered?

They don't

Its all hype people.

Funny how ToT clearly despises gamers, but now very well might detest the SJW top crowd: after all, they scammed them and they didn't buy the game either, even though it was made for them

People who don't like video games were encouraged by people who don't like video games to make a video game for people who don't like video games. And then they wonder why no one is buying. I really hope this hipster bubble burst, good riddance. (BTW, this doesn't really look like SJW work, more like general hipster "we are above the common man" crap)

By using the word 'Hipster' rather than 'Elitist' you make it sound like it a new or 'trendy' phenomenon, while that may be true for computer games, I don't think that any other artist medium would expect a perfect correlation between critical acclaim and commercial success

And I think that's got more to do with these kinds of games not really existing before rather than some 'hipsterisation' of the gaming press and THAT's just a natural consequence of DD sites like Steam, making smaller projects more viable, or at least publishable

On the other side though, I'm equally baffled that ToT themselves would expect critical acclaim to guarantee commercial success too...

Reminds me of that clip of the angry young feminist who called campus security on that guy for just sitting in the front office waiting for assistance. When he said he was just sitting there waiting for someone to help him, she said just sitting there constituted harassment. I can't find the clip, but it's in an older video from Sargon. Funny how similar that Mad Tv skit is to being an actual modern phenomenon.

So we've reached a point in society when it's sexual harassment to try and return a shirt or sit in a chair. I guess that's why people panic so easily now over actual real life drama, because they're being triggered 24 hours a day by the mundane banalities of life. By the time something real happens that's worthy of their reaction, they're spent and have no endorphins left to absorb it properly.

Its not about calling out the real problems in society. Its about creating a problem where there wasn't one and being given praise and $$$ for whining about it.

Talk going around Randi Harper is somehow giving GGautoblocked users's twitter handles to ISIS so they can block them with their blocklist as well : https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3c9f05/censorshipthe_isis_and_ggautoblocker_blocklists/
Glad I don't use twitter :P

Are they actually going to involve ISIS for real? I just can't believe how far this morons can go. I mean, I would rather have nothing to do with ISIS so being blocked by the likes of them sounds rather benefical to me.

As far as I know and as speculation goes; Randi Harassper thinks that anyone opposing her is racist or something?? I don't know really. Blocked or not, always a good habit to talk loads and hide yourself; or at least, that is what I do :P
