I'm kind of wondering where the proof is that she banged all these dudes in order to push her game.

Is all we have the ex boyfriends word press?

I'm only 12 minutes into the InternetAristocrat vid but considering how he opens up crying about bias in journalism it seems pretty ridiculous that he would just automatically believe a jilted lover's word like that.

Don't know who she is but if her bf slept with that I don't want to see a pic of her.

the common theme seems to be fat people and according to reddit there are nudes of the girl in question but that is a tree I will not bark up.

fWIW I have seen a bunch of tweets this afternoon that I didn't understand discussing how ridiculous the internet is today and how it has gotten out of control. I don't know if they are referring to this but there would be reason to believe they think this is all bogus. I don't care either way.

Also, if this is true, that does not mean all journalists are guilty. I know it's the cool thing to do and say they are all being paid but you really don't know that either way.

ok, now to the 17 minute mark and now this dude is using a tweet from a rando that claimed she sexually harassed him at a wedding as legit proof.

at this dude bitching about the state of journalism when he is taking shite like this as stone cold fact.

how is this any different than major game companies essentially paying for good reviews via advertising?

Because those are all assumptions we make. The only real documented case we have of this happening isn't entirely solid (Geertsman at GameSpot).

have you listened to this whole video?

the whole thing is based off of assumptions based from hearsay.

this dude is no better than Fox, MSNBC, and TMZ w/the way he is "reporting"

he claims the people he is ranting on have no decorum or integrity yet he is cursing his subjects out like a spoiled child.

his idealized view of old media originally not being biased by monied interests is a fricking joke as well.

I'm not watching a video. I remember the backlash when her non-game got put on Greenlight. Due to the fact it's not an actual game, it got backlash. It was turned into a social dialog about how hard it is to be woman in the gaming industry.

I already have an incredibly low opinion of this person, and people are saying she has slept with reporters? I'm not surprised at all.

Yea, when I read the title I wasn't even going to bother reading the article, then I saw that there were 17-18k comments and they were ALL deleted.
Now I'm intrigued.

Good guy mod, intentionally censor everything just to stimulate Streisand effect, so more people are aware of the problem

why do you say its not a game?

its a text based "adventure" and those have been around for quite a while.

Part of the problem is the way we look at gaming journalism. If you go into a review and look for the score, you are doing it wrong. You should look at multiple reviews and read/listen to what they have to say. Find a reviewer you understand and works for you so you know where they are coming from. Do it like you would do on here. If UH tells me a PS4 exclusive is amazing, I don't trust it. If Oauron tells me a JRPG is good, I know that is a genre he knows and keeps a pretty level head about it.

Even though you may not care about this particular incident, it epitomizes the contemporaneous deficiencies with journalistic integrity, as well as the complete lack of honesty and candor in gaming articles and reviews.

I do want to note that I'm not defending gaming journalism. I think it sucks and agree with Mr Gardoki on looking at multiple sources and what they say about the game instead of scores.

But the "journalism" being used to out this specific woman is pathetically bad.
