right Leigh Alexander

that was the name

had to look it up

anyhow

you guys are making the typical mistake though with "how to make video games"

Cuz what you guys said is basically:
"The key to making a good game, is to make a good game"

It starts with,
1. What game do you want to make in broad terms? (FPS? RPG? RTS? etc) doesn't have to fit the category but defined
2. What is a good sellable Idea? (Some unique gameplay things) that other games don't have so you stand out
3. What is the experience i want to give to people? (Good story? solid gameplay? amazing graphics?) something that makes the user get horny

Kek

Yeah. Just make a good game.

😉

https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Leigh_Alexander Eeeewwwww

yes

funny though, she's the definition of an artsy person who didn't achieve in life, so settled and got salty

Cuz she was a games journalist / critic
But she hates video games

Heres that story yes

As the story goes, "Tale of Tales" hired Leigh to promote their game "Sunset". After getting all her jurno friends from sjw sites to give them free press (she bribed at least one of them via Patreon), having them take up ad on RockPaperShotgun and getting them heavily featured in "Raise of the Indies" (an indie sjw propaganda documentary), the game flopped. Advertising to sjws and allegedly even bribing Anita Sarkeesian herself to promote them (and getting nothing in return including their money) was pointless because they criticize games but don't buy them, and everyone else who was tricked by these sites into buying Gone Home last time knew better than to fall for it again and buy what was literally a house cleaning simulator.

The company ended up having to be shut down because of major losses caused by Leigh's failure and their own financial mismanagement leading to the game only selling 4,000 copies (including sales and people who already bought it by donating to the KickStarter) and the creator went on an insane rant all over the internet about how much he hates capitalism and gamers for refusing to buy his propaganda.

One of the head lawyers at the firm i work at was a marketing lawyer that failed ...we call him jabba the hutt cuz he actually looks like jabba

@Dr.Wol yeah she def part of the gamergate shit , this is what started it

a 40 sec guide to that flop 😄

"This game is so pretentious it just gave me a film school degree" 😄

but most important fact about video games

They're just hit and miss, all you can do is increase your odds by trying to make the game fell fulfilling for the person

And don't shit on your actual audience 😄

Oh my GAAAAAAWD!!

Not a big peoper fan but if its good....

If you ever come to india

Especially the south

Ask for Gobi Manchurian

@Deleted User i love curry though so damn delicious

Um

There's about a million kinds of curry...

@Deleted User on youtube “the food ranger” his food videos make me want to to to india

He usually makes chinese food vids but recently hes been in india lots of good food

If you ever come here, be very careful what you are asking for, and where

💯 agree ^

If you go to like Gujarat

And look for beef

The best food is in kerala

Ironically

It's the communist state

The best food is the one that i like and cant eat and exits my body naturally without turning my ass on fire

I doubt anything here will do that to you tbh

There was no heat in Indian curry until the Portuguese brought chillies over from South America. I only learned that recently.

@zutt So this will be framed as evidence of mounting authoritarianism in Israel. I'd argue that it doesn't show that as the government had nothing to do with it. What it does show is a more radicalised public. Netanyahu's reign has definitely emboldened the hard right in Israel. Once they're allowed out their cage they can have a contagious effect and a nasty form of nationalism can take root in a section of the public.

It's those intolerant nationalists who've created the outrage here. The magazine are cowards though.

all companies are cowards now, cuz they're filled with SJW's, due to the over-arching staff fearing less sales from bad reputation

It was reaction of the newspaper

Yeah I always make that point. It's little wonder we're now seeing outrage mobs being orchestrated by the far right when the far left have done it for years now and shown it to work.

The gov was not reported to be involved

It could have been but frankly i just take it as overblown reaction

Sure, I was meaning that there'll be people with an agenda trying to portray this as evidence of Israel having slipped into some authoritarian dictatorship.

Clearly the pigs are there not as an antisemitic symbol but as a animal farm reference

Well i dont like current state of izrael but thats not what this particular story is about

The antisemitism accusation is dishonest. They were just butthurt that Netanyahu and his recent policy were being criticised.
