Agreed that judging people on their character was what MLK talked about. We're still seeing discrimination on various aspects including race when it comes to many things in society.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with acknowledging that this is the reality we all live in and trying to do something about that.

Thanks for replying. I'll say that your versions of "What you could do?" are already in place in many cases but doesn't fully grasp most of the lots of things.

Like "if you can't afford protection/birth control etc as a women you don't need to be having sex" for instance. No birth control is 100% effective and yea most of that is onus is placed on the women in that case to do all the work. I hope version of birth control comes to market f...

The link in the story explains all you would need to understand and why you might want to support.

"PlayStation 4 gamers who subscribe to PlayStation Plus are gonna get shafted once again as all the free games being offered in April will be Indie titles."

Then two paragraphs later - "This rant is nothing against Indie games as some of them are fun to play."

Come on man.

Looks like you can't make changes after it's been approved. Oh well.

First thanks everyone for commenting on my story. Second since folks were so distracted by the word "clone" I've edited the article so maybe folks can start to comment on the actual gameplay.

There was a great discussion about this on Jeff Cannata's show DLC this week. http://5by5.tv/dlc/61

I'm not sure why commenting on how something made you feel has become an issue in this medium. It's like people are expected for games and the things within them to live in the non-existent vacuum. If you are an intelligent adult you can do the least amount of thinking about the media you ingest.

When people critique things like this, it's not about sensitivity (weirdly you framed this in the form of a pejorative) it's about being conscious of how you and oth...

Lots of valid points in this video. I was a bit disturbed when i heard the VO for the criminals. Happy to see someone wasn't afraid to point that out.

@Goku look people aren't going to agree with what we are trying to do. There are people who truly believe that there is already racial equality and that people are all treated the exact same way. I don't argue with them because they don't live on the same planet as the rest of us.

That's not trying to divide people, that's being honest about the world we live in. I don't understand why acknowledging this brings out such negative comments. We are tryin...

I think you are totally correct and that's the point. Activism is an "ask" but since society and internet culture especially has moved further away from nuanced conversations people have made activism a negative term. People advocate for themselves and others all the time.

My hope is that when people do bring up an issue people take a minute and ask if there is validity to what is happening instead of making the issue about them or issues that don't exist. ...

Thanks for commenting, this is exactly the point of this event and our podcast. As adult gamers we have real-life experiences that "color" how we view our games and the content within them. I'm confused by the "we don't want politics/social activism in our game" crowd because it seems to want to put this faux bubble around their hobby which isn't necessary.

Again thank you for the thoughtful response, and we hope you tune in to either the stre...

Thank you for commenting, my only reply is that just because gaming has become predominantly violent doesn't mean that you have to play just those games. We plan on playing lots of different games from lots of different genres.

Thank you for replying and bringing up the supposed "race card". I would love to remove this card from all conversations but that's not possible. The world we live in doesn't allow this to happen and to not reasonably understand that is be willfully ignorant.

For any of the people who are in this thread that don't have the luxury to NOT think about racial dynamics in this country I ask you to join with us and stream for a good cause. Learn about all the...

I guess the person who wrote this didn't understand what was actually happening, nor many of the people in this thread that are seemingly pro GG and anti progress. I mean you can tell from the story itself that everything went totally over their head.

I wonder what the average age of a Gamer Gater is, it has to be fairly young looking at the arguments brought to the table. Most of them don't make sense, are super myopic and seem filtered though a lens of just not hav...

The interesting thing is that for all the supposed lack of journalistic integrity and corruption. GG hasn't really proven its case in any substantial way. Most of the allegations have either been debunked or the major players have adjusted their already publicized ethics rules to help the gaters stop whining.

So I still don't understand why this supposed movement still persists but to continue to say that they don't want people to take critical looks at the art o...

I knew this kind of article was coming. Best way to get someone to notice your game is to take it down I suppose.

Basically, he's the story we should be talking about. Who cares about the stranger.

I'm confused as to what people are gleaning from the things written in this group. This seems like any conversations had with other people who work in a very small field. You would swear that national espionage information was being discussed in this forum.

We can talk about the Acorn/O'Keefe example. Not really taking the journalistic medium to any new heights. So please holster your STFU's & GTFO's sir.
