Gamergate
What is your view on depression quest?
http://www.depressionquest.com/ 'Until recently, you might have lived a life blissfully unaware of the online #Gamergate movement. But last week, computing giant Intel pulled its ads from an independent game-development site thanks to the gaming lobby. Now that major companies are taking sides, it's time to figure it out. Let us be your guides.' http://gawker.com/what-is-gamergate-...eks-1642909080 |
I find the whole thing absolutely ridiculous, both sides need to grow the hell up. They're both acting as bad as each other.

I got about half way through that explanation and gave up lol Basically, this woman who made a game about depression was being harassed by "gamers" (what are these? just video game players?) because they don't like women being involved in video games?

this comment did make me laugh a bit though :hehe:
Too long. "What is #GamerGate?" "Ever met a dip**** teenager who thought he was oppressed? This is another form of that." |

This sounds like something I'll never be interested in

It's actually really interesting it's more like an interactive novel than a game, not something your average grand theft auto player would be into I suppose.

I agree, it's abuse whichever way you look at it.
Have you had a go at playing it? It's a bit real for me and had to turn it of :laugh: |

I actually think they're brilliant games for teens to play, if they're subliminally taking in the messages being offered. :hmph: |

They're just a bunch of morons who perpetuate the gamer stereotype in the worst possible way. Fedora wearing losers with bad necksweat that blame all women because they're too repulsive inside and out to get a girlfriend.

Its OK if you don't "get it" though Kizzy. The Media has been demonising gaming for years and GTA has taken a major chunk of it. It's OK that you've just accepted everything you've read or heard without actually having any clue about gaming as a creative medium. Totes OK. |

Do you not think that something that contains violence cannot be informative or otherwise inspirational? Do you hold films and TV shows to the same standards? |
