In fairness, this latest Gamergate news was brought to us by a valued news site. One which, in its journalistic writings, fully delves into the biggest issues in modern gaming.

I'm not sure if the last line is referring to the game or that website

You should read the comments on the recent DeadMau5 apology article. They're absolutely gas. The pong of impotent rage off of them...

My only exposure to gamergate is from whatever makes it to this thread so all I know is it has something to do with liking hentai games, not liking censorship of hentai games and not liking gay characters in games (though I presume if the gay characters are two female anime characters then it's grand).

It has nothing to do with any of that, it just so happens that there's a lot of crossover with the people who "support" it and the people who are into creepy hentai games and take great exception to their "art" being modified when they wanted to get the true depiction of that 12 year old looking character, who's actually really a 3000 year old demon being repeatedly raped by tentacles and the likes... Now, I admit that's something of an over-simplification and a somewhat tongue in cheek account of it, but it's not exactly incorrect either.

Gamergate started as a campaign to harass a female games developer named Zoe Quinn by her jilted ex boyfriend and it exploded into about ten different things. A lot of its supporters refuse to accept this despite the timeline of facts being quite clear and a vast pool of evidence to support it. Ostensibly, they try to claim it's about "ethics in games journalism" because the initial smear campaign was pitched to use this as a cover (the campaign centred on the idea that this woman slept with several game journalists to get favourable reviews for her game). It grew in many directions, and some unfortunates who genuinely wanted to see better games journalism have stuck with it despite it's origins as a harassment campaign. At this stage, I like them to flat earthers or Catholics - so wrapped up in their own madness that the unending stream of facts and horror stories about what's being done in their name that all you can really do is pity them.

I see the no-goobergate rule isn't in effect so long as it's a certain party that's dribbling on about it.

Unfortunately the horse bolted, the narrative did not hold, the jig was up and people made their own minds up on grober-grape.

Mate... you've never actually even seen an erotic Visual Novel, much less played it, have you?

Mod note: Sigh, here we go again.

There is no blanket ‘no GamerGate’ rule. There is, however, an effort to stop this thread being dominated by people relitigating the whole sorry affair at every opportunity. If the subject legitimately comes up again, have at it - but not every minor Twitter outrage is worth dragging the thread off on this again. The conversation always turns toxic and personal.

The vast majority of posters have no interest in it one way or the other, so if it begins to over-dominate the thread based on a small number of posters having the same old five year old arguments we will have to step in.

So that’s that. Back to news please. Thanks.

There was absolutely no outrage over Catherine when it came out years ago. It's as if they are mindless sheep pretending to be offended by anything they're told to be offended by.

Here's the thing: there's not a whole lot of it now either (also: there are circa 2011 critiques of the game that highlight such concerns). There's a small subset of people concerned about these issues in relations to Catherine, and a smaller subset again 'outraged' over it.

This falls into the trap of many of the gaming 'outrages' blown out of proportion. This is the Internet: there's always going to be a small amount of people outraged about something - take those complaining about playable women in Battlefield 1 ("something something historical accuracy something something"). That's one of the consequences of social media. Equally, there's going to be people who'll get outraged about the outrage, even if there's not even much outrage in the first place - this is the model many of the furious 'anti-SJW' YouTube and blogger types peddle. Every small twitter spat or semi-busy ResetEra thread is fair game. Many of these are the same sort of people who, incidentally, pull a rager whenever a game has any vaguely progressive message in it.

I had a look at the ResetEra page about the Catherine controversy. It comes across as legitimate criticism taken a few steps too far by one crusading poster. The poster in question highlights that they got 50 members - 50 out of a site that right at this second has more than 4,500 members online - to sign a petition to add it to a banned list of games on the site (it wasn't added to the list of banned games). That is so farcically low it barely warrants commenting on, but no surprise the whole thing has been disproportionately signal-boosted by a different brand of outrage merchants. For a more extreme examples of this effect, there's the Cuphead racism 'controversy' or the Doom trailer 'controversy' which weren't controversies at all. But there were angry gamers who needed content to rattle their viewer/readership:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l63nY0AYebI

One the big problems with the whole 'outrage culture' is that actual criticism and concerns are dismissed as mere outrage. There are legitimate concerns to be levelled at Atlus over the way they handle gay and trans characters - some of their writing is hilariously, cringe-level bad in that respect (there's two gay characters that show up in Persona 5 who are basically straight out of a Carry On film, at best), and easily something I can see people being turned off by especially if they're more directly impacted by these things. 'Cultural differences' doesn't magically wave away any clunky handling of these things (I mean, Japan is the country that gave us one of the great gay films of the 1960s with Funeral Parade of Roses).

If people want to discuss and critique these things, that's very often a good thing - not every criticism = 'outrage'! There are always 'bad takes' as well, exponentially so when anyone can throw up any old ****e online. But, sadly, there's a subset of people out there who believe any criticism of any given game is beyond the pale.

I try to stay away from the whole identity politics / culture war side of things these days, because honestly it's a shortcut to a headache. But always important to stress that the outrage culture flows both ways - for every person outraged about the representation of trans characters in a game, there's another outraged about the outrage, and then there's an outrage merchant to rant about it online for an audience eager for more outrage. So it goes.

K.O.Kiki · 19-02-2019 11:07pm

TBH anyone who reads ResetEra & takes them seriously can go shove their opinions in a fire.

gizmo · 19-02-2019 11:41pm

Bingo.

At a certain point, you have to ask yourself a couple of questions: Is a petition signed by 50 members out of a total registered membership of 44,298 really worth an entire article? What purpose would such an article serve? Who is it being aimed at? Are the opinions expressed by those 50 people really indicative of the entire forum? And most importantly, will we eventually get Full Body on PC?

I mean I guess the admins and mods could ban all negative discussion about the topic and/or game. That'll work well...right? :pac:

9f322034d23547aea3c3ae0ab430b94923cbe1eefdb4847ab53ba7cb4438d0aa.jpg

They got cut off before they could announce Mai Shiranui as a mainline DOA character now - that got leaked later... possibly ruining the hype and potential pre-orders or customers they'd hope to secure from the announcement. I haven't bought a DOA game in a long time but if 6 performs well enough and doesn't have excessive DRM I might just pick it up.

Aye, and the mods decision was that discussion of the game wouldn't be banned nor would debate on the topic itself.

As for the multiple threads, the second largest one is based on a poll asking users if said "events" will affect their purchase of future Atlus titles. While I can't see the results of the poll, from flicking through the thread there's a non-trivial number of people who are a firm no on the question.

Which leads us back to the basis of my original point, why would someone care what a bunch of people on one particular forum think? I'm gona hazard a guess and say it's something along the lines of what johnny_ultimate described above.

There's no debate, have a look through them your choice is the "right" side or the banned side. Their mods love to post exactly why someone is banned.

To save spoilers, there's a lot of banned user on their threads. This one is apparently trans phobic rhetoric.

Aye, I can read the various threads and I can see both different opinions being shared and the usual near gratuitous banning. It's pretty much par for the course for the forum though which again begs the question, why is this news?

Considering that the people that get involved in these debates have absolutely zero self control I doubt atlus are quaking in their boots considering the 'success' of videogame boycott threats.

Corholio · 20-02-2019 5:42pm

The Catherine ending is pretty bad in fairness. I often find trans topics an easy thing for people to jump on someone being legitmately concerned about such portrayals and being branded 'snowflake' or outraged for the sake of it etc, often due to lack of genuine understanding of it or just ignorance.

It doesn't really matter what way they spin it, though. You review a game negatively while part of that partnership (IE they're paying you): bad things will happen. Their actions don't match their words as they got him to remove disclosure... the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do.

This is a danger of poor games journalism. Something i thought you would have been more wary of.

The Game Changer content is sponsored. EA pays Youtubers to make videos showing off the game. But it's never for reviews. They are crystal clear on that.

This guy put Game Changers watermarks/logos in the review video which gives the impression he was paid to review the game.

He wasn't, so they asked him to take it down, remove the GC logos and then re upload it.

I've actually heard that a lot of youtubers actually do fake sponsorship to make themselves look important, and try to make themselves more sponsor-able.

Yeah, he re-uploaded the exact same video, no changes to any of the content in the video, just removed the Game Changer watermarks, and EA have not asked him to remove it.

People have been wondering what Microsofts renewed commitment to PC at E3 meant, and now we're starting to see the first indications of it. Recent Windows Insider builds came with "Gaming Improvements", along with a free test of State of Decay. Turns out that it's the Xbox version of the game running on PC, rather than a PC specific version like you'd get from the Microsoft store.

Looks like it's been removed from Steam worldwide now with only the soundtrack remaining.

The dev, Red Candles, have announced that they've pulled it themselves..

Due to technical issues that cause unexpected crashes and among other reasons, we are pulling <Devotion> off from steam store to have another complete QA check. At the same time we'd like to take this opportunity to ease the heightened pressure in our community resulted from our previous Art Material Incident, our team would also review our game material once again making sure no other unintended materials was inserted in. Hopefully this would help all audience to focus on the game itself again upon its return.

One would hope so alright. The cached Steam store page shows Red Candle as both developer and publisher so insofar as Valve are concerned, they should be able to?

There's some wording in their follow-up statement that's interesting in this context.

We would also like to take this opportunity to reaffirm that Devotion’s publisher Indievent and Winking Entertainment did not know about the art material beforehand and were not involved in this incident at all. Currently our partnership has terminated. Red Candle Games will take full responsibility to compensate the relevant loss based on the contract.

For their own sake I hope they can get it back up because I can't imagine the compensation they're talking about is a trivial amount.

In other similarly not-so-pleasant news, looks like the GoG team at CD Projekt are being hit with some layoffs.

It will probably depend on the legal agreement with the publisher. It probably has a clause about not self publishing and other complications, Id say there are grounds for both Red candle and the publishers to say the other hasn't fulfilled the terms of contract.

Unless this issue is sorted if red candle lose against the publisher then all self published sales could be deemed to have been lost revenue for the publisher and would need to be paid back.

To top it off the publishers have probably broken all contact off with red candle for fear of government intervention.

Facebook has hosted more child porn and pedo communities in its lifetime. They have literally requested its underage users to upload their nude pics to them so their AI can 'protect them' as well as had bizzare surveys like should pedos be able to request underage pics (https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/2018/03/05/facebook-asked-users-if-pedophiles-should-able-ask-kids-sexual-pictures/395535002/) Where's the google blacklisting on that sick site? Do THQN have an official facebook page?

The real reason 8ch is blacklisted on google is because it's uncensored and doesn't play by the rules (and probably because of /pol/), which allows people to actually discuss things that even places like 4chan have censored. One of the exoduses was from 4chan staff banning gamergate discussion (they were friends with the parties involved apparently). Seeing a pattern here. Glad to see more unorthodox, unfiltered Q&As with corporations since places likes reddit have become almost completely useless. Typical that they'd apologise for this though. Wonder how many blue checkmarks got upset that they're not doing their soft-ball Q&As in the right™ places where only the right™ questions and opinions can be expressed.

What makes Brock's apology even less believable is that he casually engaged with someone in the thread who posted a drawing depicting a man groping young-looking girls. The user asked where the "lolis" were—referring to lolicon—to which Brock responded, "you got them already we'd say."

Having to apologise for associating your employer with a website best-known for its lax views on child abuse imagery is indeed what would be typical for any company. I mean, aside from the fact that no other company has ever been stupid enough to wind up in this situation, so quite atypical in that sense.

Jaysus. They're swallowing the Gamergate Red-Pill and then there's this.

Did you even read through the AMA? It's literally full of paedophilic imagery, naked racism and anti-semitism all on a website that was created by people because they were banned from 4chan. Banned. From 4chan.

Again, it's been delisted from google because of child porn - the thing that 8chan is most well known for, is child porn.

The next step up from that is a dev diary on Stormfront or licencing a Rolf Harris painting game.

I didn't even know there was an 8chan, and i think i preferred not knowing. How anyone could consider that sort of ****e as a being a bastion of unfiltered/uncensored content (in a good way) is beyond me. It looks like it was created for literally the worst content imaginable.

How any PR dept signed off on that is a mystery.

Lolicon is not pedophilia.

Drawings are not real life.

I don't know how this concept is so hard for people to grasp.

It's also not hard to grasp why a publisher might not want to attach its brand to a site that has boards to share cartoons of adults abusing kids.
