The Indie Game Festival used to be a revered and illustrious way to help promote and establish prominence for up-and-coming developers within the independent sector of game design. Recently, the image has become tainted and mired in an intricate web of perceived corruption and the idea that entrants are no longer being treated as fairly as they should.
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.

One Angry Gamer "Brunelleschi: Age of Architects is an interesting new 3D MMO that focuses on player options, diplomacy and city management.

Im not sure if anyone has noticed a pattern. But most of these people who are power tripping or have an agenda are also a misandrist. (hate men) yet no one calls them out for that, so it ok to hate all men?
But its not ok to even criticize not even a single female, I just dont get this world anymore.
