Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: "Dozens"

[quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I think you have a long road ahead of you if you want to tally the times that gamers were shit as opposed to the dozens of times journos were. [/quote] Uh, a bit more than dozens, Jonesy. You realize they were all whores long before they became progressive culture warriors, right? For instance: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2010/09/scared-to-open-the-package-adventures-in-game-writer-bribery/2/ Kohler, the guy who gets free cake from Nintendo? He covers Nintendo at Kotaku these days, where he holds an editor title. Sterling, the guy who gets expensive replicas of fantasy swords from THQ? He's been quoted in the Washington Post like he's a serious journalist. (oh actually, I guess you can't accuse him of being bought off by THQ anymore). I agree that gg is an utter failure, in that they took on a target rich environment, and were completely incapable of publicly humiliating any of these clowns. Granted, Kotaku's Gawker connection gives them a lot of friend within NYC media, but you'd think there's be a limit to how far they'd be willing to go to defend a video game website. Kotaku's not exactly the DNC.[/quote]
