these people are so deluded that they make up their own form of academia to sound legit

2018-07-06 07:50:43 UTC  

Just reading through it now

2018-07-06 07:50:50 UTC  

I'm initially skeptical about these claims

2018-07-06 07:50:54 UTC  

But browsing through it so far

2018-07-06 07:51:00 UTC  

It's not looking good for them

2018-07-06 07:51:42 UTC  

if this is the size of the cabal involved in media and education then imagine the size of the one in the governement

2018-07-06 07:52:42 UTC  

game (((journalism)))

2018-07-06 07:53:07 UTC  

who ever decided games need journalism is retarded

2018-07-06 07:53:50 UTC  

someone has to give the news of whats happening in the gaming industry

2018-07-06 07:54:03 UTC  

Well, yeah

2018-07-06 07:54:12 UTC  

Game journalism is a joke

2018-07-06 07:54:18 UTC  

Far too often it's just activism, alas

2018-07-06 07:54:31 UTC  

I came close to writing for a few gaming websites

2018-07-06 07:54:37 UTC  

Wound up writing for an MMA website instead

2018-07-06 07:54:48 UTC  

It's also just another form of advertising. Which is probably where it started

2018-07-06 07:54:52 UTC  

yeah, i just want gaming news i dont want it bogged down with your activism

2018-07-06 07:55:20 UTC  

You shouldn't need a RSS feed for "gaming news" just look on steam or look on youtube for trailers

2018-07-06 07:55:41 UTC  

If I need to find a new game I literally just look on steam on the New Releases or popular

2018-07-06 07:56:12 UTC  

or back before online stores just go into EB games or game stop and find something

2018-07-06 07:57:00 UTC  

>mah big releases
neh. big releases should only be big once they are released. Anything using hype on forums or news to prop their game up, will make people disappointed

2018-07-06 07:58:54 UTC  

who is arguing any of those points though

2018-07-06 07:58:55 UTC  

noone here

2018-07-06 07:59:16 UTC  

I know

2018-07-06 07:59:31 UTC  

The whole debacle with Metal Gear 5 was publicised thanks to garme jurnalizm

2018-07-06 07:59:42 UTC  

the preorder debacle with Aliens Colonial Marines

2018-07-06 07:59:43 UTC  

etc etc

2018-07-06 08:00:08 UTC  

Then people boost the story exponentially by talking about it

2018-07-06 08:00:23 UTC  

Reminds me of how people discuss MMA on forums

2018-07-06 08:00:32 UTC  

I'm just annoyed people can have a career out of posting "game news" which comes from game companies anyway

2018-07-06 08:00:33 UTC  

Oftentimes it's some guy saying that a fighter said 'X'

2018-07-06 08:00:51 UTC  

well yeah, there's a lot of lazy 'news' sites out there

2018-07-06 08:00:56 UTC  

that basically just repost press releases

2018-07-06 08:08:33 UTC  

Absolutely lol

2018-07-06 08:09:46 UTC  

b-but it's not socialism it's "universal income"

2018-07-06 08:12:01 UTC  

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't ICE shut down sex traffickers and stuff?

2018-07-06 08:12:30 UTC  

oh my god

2018-07-06 08:12:34 UTC  

I hope they run on that

2018-07-06 08:13:23 UTC  

@franti if they do that....

2018-07-06 08:13:29 UTC  

I'm all for legalizing marijuana, but the rest is either immoral or impossible

2018-07-06 08:13:32 UTC  

God I hope they fucking run on that
