One Angry Gamer "After a very turbulent year involving all sorts of crazy shenanigans, the one thing that really seems kind of heartbreaking is how a game jam that would work toward pushing more games into the industry was cut short and demolished under a blind bit of string-pulling from major gaming outlets. Well, you can’t keep a good thing down if enough people pool the use of their efforts together to see it rise above the oppression and detriments set forward by a corrupt and dysfunctional system."
I understand they didn't want to keep going head to head with Zoe with all the shit that went on but this comes off like they are running home scared and bowing down to her...like a "Ok, ok...you win, can we move on please". I acknowledge it was frustrating for them but if they knew she was in the wrong I would of kept on going.
If Zoe did that shit to me and to my project I would of wanted her head on a spike, last thing I would want to do is "bury the hatchet with her".
I really feel things are just trying to get covered up on this. I get people don't want to keep seeing Zoe's name plastered on gaming websites but what she did and the controversy that surrounded her brought gaming journalist corruption to the surface. If you ever wanted a reason to start a massive online "attack" against crappy journalism this would of been the perfect time to do one.
Instead people just want to bury their head in the sand and just watch this blow over. In the end you're just going to watch it get covered up.
Serious question to all on N4G.
4chan /v/ got together to help TFYC out, how about us doing the same???
First we email TFYC to let them know our intentions.
After which we could just make individual donations like normal - but we could put 'N4G' after our names - that way they can tally up the overall donation from the community.
Heck , we might even get our own community mascot like /v/ did?
Anyone up for it?
Might be easier/better if one of the mods sends the email to TFYC + makes an official front page blog for those interested. That way it would 'represent' the community.
But , what about the bigger problem , gaming publishers throwin money at these sites, to say good things about their games, no matter how awful they might be !!
