Because politics have no place in our gaming lifestyle.
Quote: "Gaming is getting far too political, with this whole “representation” thing going on right now. As far as supporting equality goes, I am fully on board with it, but when you’re part of the problem and don’t see it, yet purport that others are part of the problem and don’t see it, not only are you a hypocrite but also blatantly stupid. And it’s happening frustratingly often in the games industry."
Free speech is a key component of democratic society, and society is apparently confused by it. In the gaming industry, it's even costing people their jobs. It's time to stop ruining things and be real people again.
Very balanced on both sides and I'd say I agree with most, if not all of it. Sadly, this is an altruistic view of things and as much as the more level headed of us cry out for that balance there will ALWAYS be ruiners and people who generally act like children to keep things out of whack.
This is the world we have created in the internet age. Pretty sad when you really get down to it.
Great read! Its just sad this has become all too common. One step forward, 2 steps back.
I was curious how this was going to link up to gaming, but it got there. This reactionary style of conducting ones self is something that has become far too prevelant and used as a tool for the uneducated to increase their own self importance. It definitely needs to get reigned in

One Angry Gamer "Brunelleschi: Age of Architects is an interesting new 3D MMO that focuses on player options, diplomacy and city management. The title is being designed by Aesop Games and it's received a lot of support from the denizens of #GamerGate after the developers were purposefully silenced by the gaming media for not adhering to the narrative that #GamerGate is a harassment campaign."
Well put together article. People like her degrade the industry and freedom of speech in general. I hope her crusades end soon, but we all know they won't. Like that lawyer from a few years ago who was eventually disbarred for his harassment of the industry. I forget his name...
Political article making a political statement says "no politics in games". Speaking of hypocrisy...
