All that shit happened for OG Bioshock and GTA IV too, although somewhat more deserved since those were far better games in general
they literally ran a fucking gamergate campaign on bioshock infinite that people still blindly repeat about sexism and elizabeth to cover for the most blatant example of band aid game design ever shipped. the reason elizabeth is shit is because she was an excuse to compromise on level design, they didn't spend effort putting items in the game world for the player to discover because elizabeth spawns them in front of you - and somehow people are not willing to take that as a worthwhile criticism of a game with "bioshock" in the title because of an aggressive ad campaign by journalists during peak gamergate

No, it really, really isn't.
I'm really not in agreement with Vance at all. I get the concern he had but the Houthis, even though esoteric, caused global inflation by forcing Europe to spend millions clearing cargo ships. You can scream Jews and jump up and down all you want, but that's the reality. The Houthis were causing inflation all around the planet to enrich themselves and blowing them the fuck to kingdom come is in the best interest of everyone.
Yes, it is 1000% a NECESSITY. As of right now, KiwiFarms is the only place I can easily find a majority of these news articles. The Mockingbird Media State has gotten very efficient at memory holing stories. At this point, if it's not on KiwiFarms, I can't find it. These news outlets are complete dystopian faggots and delete articles, and change titles all the time. There's news stories I simply can't find anymore solely due to Google being Big Brother and saying "You're not allowed to remember this". Which is incredibly frustrating in real life when I tell someone about an event and then simply can't find the article because they changed the title and buried it. Always, always, always fucking archive. These faggots will memory hole anything and everything they possibly can because they know the average human can't remember anything from two weeks ago and has piss poor long term memory.
it's all fake anyway, we all know they're hiding a stargate in there
SFM is simple and accessible, which is good to get fast and easy results, but anything beyond that you want a "proper" tool to give you more freedom, but that comes at a cost.
it's still good, for all it's flaws they put some real effort in it. but I also never treated it as a new chapter in videogames, just a nice game I enjoyed a lot.
>They went after him like they did me
It was at first but to my knowledge Valve hasn't touched it in years, so it's grossly outdated.
Why can't a normal raid or zfs array be used? When one drive has a problem, just change it for another drive.
It's worse than not giving a damn. The spambots make the metrics look good. The spambots that just ping you with random likes or invites to a private chat are minimally annoying but make their site look more attractive to the advertisers. They actively want the spambots.
There was a lot of gaslighting about Bioshock Infinite, but I would argue the first GG-like situation in the industry that had an almost identical rollout was the Mass Effect 3 controversy. Every single person who wasn't a Bioware developer or game journalist agreed the ending was 24-karat shit, nothing about it was justifiable, and the DLCs, if anything, made it worse. Every single week we saw new articles fellating the game harder and decrying the playerbase as entitled, if not outright evil, for taking issue with the ending being so bad as to undermine the entire series up to that point.
Mass Effect 3 was 99% a great game, with an ending that was worse than the ending for Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect 2's ending mission with all kinds of different variables that would change who in your team lived or died. It was great. Then you were given 3 choices that all amounted to the reapers winning. It was like being slapped in the face.
I also recall there was some game website's infobabe in the actual game itself, and this was never really disclosed or talked about how having someone who's meant to be covering and reviewing your content in a non-biased manner is now part of the product.
A large part of why people refused to get gaslit was also because for at least the 5 years prior to GG you had journalists shitting on gamers and calling them every -ism and-phobia in the book and crying about how there wasn't enough hecking minorities in games or conventions because they were all Huffington Post/Vice/whatever other SJW blog rejects. You also had controversies with the integrity of journalism beforehand, from Driv3rGate where journalists were praising that game despite it being a turd, The whole Gamespot/Kane & Lynch scandal, and then all of the journalists bitching about Resident Evil 5 being set in Africa because you had to kill black zombies despite the fact that it wouldn't make sense for there to be large numbers of white zombies and if there were in that game they would bitch about that too and in that case rightfully so.
Very true. There will be some pain but it is necessary. Argentina's apparently beating expectations for 2025 after their recession.
sci fi in general is dead. Star Trek worked in the late 80s early 90s because Americans had hope for the future. Star Wars is dead because Lucas films is ran by a moron. The only sci fi with any cultural relevance is 40k. I heard the expanse is good, but it isn't main stream. Maybe they should make a movie or game?
