OPM: Jade Raymond haters characterize stereotypes of lonely fanboys

Maxconsole writes:

"The latest edition of the Official Playstation Magazine profiles the internet hate that developed against Jade Raymond of Ubisoft. They say that underlying the whole issue is the more serious problem of anti-feminism in the games industry. They call the treatment of Raymond sexual harassment on a large scale and that the gaming community is just confirming the stereotypes of lonely fanboys."

Awesome find and read. Sad truth.

predator5951d ago

sad but true, look at the first post, proves it all

Bubbles just proved the article's point, as did those that agreed with him.

WilliamRLBaker5951d ago (Edited 5951d ago )

how does that prove it? what he said is in fact true....give me more then 5 women in the gaming industry that say so because they are true gamers instead of wanting attention.

Simply put jade raymond was not put forth because shes either good..ect (and she is) she was put forth as a marketing tool as a hot girl whom was in the game industry and that was IT. the shameless fun people make of her is bad, but it does not change the fact that she was a marketing tool plain and simple.

Most gamer girls that are popular aren't real gamer girls in the end they are they're for attention or the money.

i bet zhuk was one of the ones who said "i want her titties on me she cant develop"

Mr_Showtime15951d ago (Edited 5951d ago )

Shes not really a marketing tool, shes just like other developers/producers, Cliffy B, Kojima, Mark Rien etc all are out their promoting thier games and doing interviews.
Its just he fact she happens to be a good looking woman in thier place that has drawn attention to her and its exactly what the article says "lonely fanboys" who seem to feel some reason to spread hatred across the internet like they do for for consoles they dont like.

Brainiac 85951d ago

She is not the first game designer to whore themselves out for their creation.

Miyamoto, Kojima, Jaffe, etc etc....all of them promote their games out on the forefront. It's because this designer happens to be a woman that people are saying she is using her looks to get ahead, when she hasn't done anything different than any designer out their promoting their baby projects.

Some of you need to grow up.

Malkier5951d ago

Exactly, if she wasn't good looking or was a bloke no one would of thought twice about it. But because she is an attractive female, then she must be using that to her advantage... Very sexist way of thinking.

WilliamRLBaker5951d ago

you can name me atleast 4 other developers that have been in more magazine covers, articles, shows...ect for one single game?

Kojima and the rest have never been on more covers, in more articles, and in more shows then jade raymond just to promote or talk about ONE game..
This equals=marketing tool and promotion.

Is she not good? of course not shes smart and hot and she is a great developer but that does not change the fact.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

70 percent of devs unsure of live-service games sustainability

With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.

It was worrisome to begin with.

It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.

Cacabunga1d 10h ago

I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.

CrimsonWing692d ago

What’s to be unsure of!? Look at the ratio of success to failure!

DarXyde1d 13h ago

It's pretty ridiculous.

Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.

shinoff21832d ago

Yes. Stop all the live service bs.

jznrpg2d ago

Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.

Helldivers 2 manages just fine…

Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.

Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.

Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
