You guys are the best

Lance Bean and Bill Reiser? Sounds like someone liked the cast of ”Aliens” a lot! (Lance Henriksen, Michael Biehn/Bean, Bill Paxton, Paul Reiser)

Super Probotector (just Probotector on Genesis) is the Hard Corps EU version. They replaced the PCs to robots, it's the same game.

Didn't think Gamergate 2 could be dumber than the first, but here we are.

David Winter

Subscribed for a month just to say, I've never heard a more misinformed talk than the one about Sweet Baby Inc. Perhaps have a look at how it started? A Sweet Baby Inc employee tried to take down a steam curator and get his steam account taken away. Before that happened, this was a few nutjobs, and then SBI decided to get a bit malicious and got bitten by the Streisand effect. By the way, have you not seen the videos where the leader of SBI says she wants people to 'terrify' (her words) companies into using them and letting them know precisely what would happen if they weren't used? Did you see the video of the former SBI inc employee explaining why she has 21 black employees and refuses to hire white people? They are literally saying that to camera. Is that fine? Look, it's ok to have different opinions, I've listened to you guys for years and I only unsubscribed from here recently because of my finances, but I'm really disappointed that you're this misinformed and just write it all off as another gamergate (that's exactly the narrative they've had to resort to as a defense) and another bunch of CHUDS is massively disingenous. Was your research that one Kotaku article? And you would have the nerve to say that people need to get out of their bubble. Yes, those right wing idiots are right in the thick of it, but they were given this opportunity by SBI employees getting a little bit cocky. The whole thing has been joined by people who have seen those videos of SBI employees and don't like what they see, and if you watched them, would you say 'no that's fine, you're a bigot, please shut up'?

James Eldred

Even if your version of what happened is true (lots of half-truths, omissions, and stretches there), who the fuck cares? If you're whining about this more than any of the other, countless, real problems that are actually hurting people in gaming, get a life.

David Winter

Nothing about the actual points, just some brief generalisations about how everything is a stretch and about my sad little life. Oh well, thanks for illustrating the problem - you have yourself a lovely Sunday now.

Yandren

You've confused the forest for the trees, if this is an argument actually in good faith. Why devote so much effort on this one little company when, as they said in the podcast and as someone who makes games I can verify, the way games are actually made negates this "scandal" being that important? Focus on a company doing big, actual harm instead with your attention and activism.

David Winter

What makes you think I don't spend a lot more time on bigger issues, or that I devote a lot of time to this one little company? Or indeed that I even want SBI out of business or some such? I was merely annoyed at the ommissions and the offhand dismissiveness in the conversation, not to mention tarring everyone with the same brush. I came here, made my points and left, and gave them a donation to boot. It's taken what - 15 minutes of my time? And in return? Two comments making assumptions about who I am and my intentions. THIS is the problem, isn't it. You're questioning my good faith, I was told to get a life, and still no specifics, on those videos or anything else. Does anyone want to say 'they're fine'? - I'm genuinely interested. Those are what has blown this issue up the most, not a sudden and random reinvogaration of gamergaters who were hibernating, so they are very relevant. If people don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I'd rather them ignore it then give a half-arsed account, that's all. I'm not going to defend or justify my person, and I'm not going to resort to assumptions and insults. Let's leave it at that, with no questions answered and move on I say.

James Eldred

"What makes you think I don't spend a lot more time on bigger issues, or that I devote a lot of time to this one little company? " I dunno dog, the fact that you've written multiple, incredibly long and increasingly unhinged posts about them, after paying for the right to do so? TBH, some of the things people at Sweet Baby did and say have rubbed me the wrong way, but not nearly as much as what people like you say. You all seem completely deranged and detached from reality. If you don't like them, don't buy the games they work on, support devs you like. Say RATIONAL things about them. Don't follow dipshits who cry about DEI, "going woke", take quotes out of context, and RT Elon Musk and Ben Shapiro like their gospel. You're all losers.

David Winter

How exactly do I seem deranged? Increasingly unhinged? Man I think you've got some imagination there, are you a writer? Admittedly I hit enter too early and couldn't be bothered to edit the first post down, and so that came across as a bit 'ranty' - fine, apologies for that, but does anyone want to address those videos I have referred to multiple times? All I got annoyed about, for all of ten minutes at the time, was the narrative of that conversation didn't include what really lit up this whole thing. Perhaps I wanted reassurance that it was all out of context, I don't know. Instead it was just nothing, and now? Nothing again. This is literally the only time I've ever talked about this and it was because I respect the people who talked about it. I don't think that's deranged behaviour at all and I'm not really impressed at the level of conversation here to be perfectly honest. You guys should all be politicians, I've never seen so much dodging of the points. And please, I don't follow DEI dipshits, normally I'm trolling them, the assumptions here really don't do you guys any favours - and you have the cheek to call me unhinged.

PHILIP HUGHES

Would you say it's about ethics in game journalism

Julien masson-ratel

One person from sweet baby inc gave a talk at GDC about how they are bullying companies to make things more diverse. Forcing people to make different decision. Not asking or consulting, forcing.

James Eldred

Sigh. No they didn't. No one at GDC thought that at the time. No one cared about this until manbabies with no lives took clips out of context. Grow up.
