Did anyone check out Polygon's Top 500 Greatest Games Of All Times? They added Depression Quest in the list. That's not all. They also added Gone Home in the list too, and it's ranked higher than Chrono Trigger and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! What the fuck was Polygon thinking?! Did Zoe Quinn had some Five Guys Burgers And Fries at Polygon headquarters or something?? https://www.red*dit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/7hjx5d/polygon_lists_depression_quest_as_one_of_the_500/

An idea sparked from a /v/ thread. OP name is pre-emptive as the plan isn't even formed, but the goal and idea is. The thread OP: ALL MOBILESHIT, ALL SOCIALSHIT, ALL PAY2WIN, ALL FREEMIUM, ALL LOOTBOXES, GONE FOREVER This is a brilliant idea, 99% of the cancer infecting the medium has been bankrolled by racketeers pretending to be game developers, using armies of disinterested normalfags as a battering ram into every platform, funded off the slaughter of lobotomized whales. In addition, it could create a public furor against anything else that vaguely smacked of it, such as DLC, Greenlight vaporware, and $1 appstore shovelware. If the flames of a good old fashioned moral panic could be fanned up, especially in today's political environment, games might be saved in one fell swoop. >Let's all be honest here, microtransactions, lootboxes, and keys are all super scummy and also skirt the line of being actual gambling by hanging on the very edge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDVQr6gNqdA >And judging by the slot machine style of how these cases usually are… I think there is something that can be said about them literally skirting these laws by inches. This isn't the only video like this, there are literally thousands like this and you can actually see these people get so hyped up during the rolling of the meter… it's literally the same look a person has going to a actual slot machine. >Frankly, I think it is quite obvious that regulations against these type of things is going to happen really damn soon once any form of attention is thrown at them from any form of political body. >So, how do we get the attention to finally end this blight upon gaming? >Well. I actually do see many options in order to actually kill microtransactions once and for all. 2 I will name here as they seem to be the very best options. >Force the ESRB to start rating any game with microtransaction/gambling mechanics as a automatic AO rating. As gambling is an actual real life thing of which only adults can use. I believe it is now important that we petition the ESRB to protect our children from these games by forcefully having any and all games with these elements be classified as AO only. AO only being an actual kiss of death for any and all video games it touches. It will prevent a huge swath of them on consoles and thus the game developers and publishers will be forced to patch them out if they want to keep selling the game. Also yes, I heavily recommend using the 'think of the children' type argument for this, might as well use the weapon they constantly use on us. >Email/mail/talk to any and all political bodies about this issue in the gaming industry and how it is preying upon and literally giving birth to a new generation of gambling addicts and that video game companies are willfully responsible for it. This idea would actively piss off the entire game development and publisher community into fighting against it. But this would actually force a damn good limelight upon these issues and make them even more well known and people would go against them more by the day. Also a lot of the older congressmen absolutely despise video games so we might as well use that hatred to our actual benefit for once. >The main most goal in all of this is to get these mechanics known to the whole world using news organizations. If we can get Talk Show hosts to talk about how messed up it is, we win, flat out. There will be nothing left to defend microtransactions whatsoever as public knowledge of them will come with a very swift hammer. >Again though, here is the main point I wish to ask. Should the gaming community do this and finally put an end to a invasive and actually greedy practice? What do you guys think? https://www.red*dit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/74dzlb/legitimate_question_here_should_gamers_actually/

The purpose of this thread: Catalog all cases of anti-GG/SJW/"virtuous" companies/marxist pushers and those who talk down to us about being immoral who have skeletons in their closet. Main focus is aGG and game related companies. With how sexual assault has been under more scrutiny, this could escalate until those really high up in important industries can get fucked. If you fix corruption in gaming, it can happen in other industries by laying the ground work and have the general public more informed to not tolerate it in other fields. Not to mention more sexual assault can be reported as more progress is made. There is a delicate balance with false accusations however. Only post 1 accusation per post. If it turns out it is fake- then it makes it easier to delete

Hi, I'm MikiSayaka33 and new to contributing to the Gamergate wiki. I'm just posting to find the higher up guys who contribute to the wiki. Also, to let them know that one of the pages has been vandalized! It's the OP: Olive Branch page http://archive.is/ni2y6 The worst thing is that guy who did the vandalism is still there and may attack the other pages (There's only so much an under rank contributor can do).

It's the Third Birthday! Today is August 28th, which is the day that this and the previous GG boards have traditionally celebrated the birthday of #GG. August 27th was the day Adam Baldwin first coined the hashtag itself, but it was the following day that consensus was reached on /v/ to formally adopt the tag and take up the #GG mantle to spread word of our cause. What was a Twitter tag created to point attention at a scandal became a banner under which gamers and free speech advocates from all over the global Internet rallied to stick up for our hobby in the face of a hostile media and a nearly equally hostile world. They said we wouldn't last a month. We did. They said we wouldn't last through Christmas. We did. They said we wouldn't last through Destiny. We laughed our asses off. They said we wouldn't last a year. We did. They said we wouldn't last two years. We did. They said we were dead. Then we got the blame for electing Donald Trump! It's been a hell of a ride. I never imagined, when I stepped into the Burgers and Fries threads on /v/ in 2014, that things would wind up like this. Multiple warfront, mainstream media getting involved, a civil war within #GG and winding up a board owner myself. That we'd be in an episode of Law and Order. Now today we have books being written about us, and hitpiece headlines are still coming out on a weekly basis. We just wanted to play videogames!

While GG Wiki is rebuilding, and after what happened with Tech Raptor (https://archive.is/AxZEs)- I think it's important we get our most crucial info saved to prevent being memory hole'd. And this might just help the wiki building guys to boot. 1. Find GG articles that cover GG honestly. 2. Archive them. Use more than just Archive.is (WaybackMachine, and a few others) (If they are videos on youtube, download them. Search for how, or shove "ss" in the front of the url. I.e. ssyoutube.com/blah) 3. Post them here (if you can. Some videos might be too big, look into video conversion). 4. Download the archive (we can't bank on Archive.is being up forever). IMO priority order should be: - Honest GG coverage (OneAngryGamer, NicheGamer, Mombot's work, etc). - Study of SJW, and how to beat them/lessen their reach. - Evidence of SJW doing what they do best. - Evidence of Journalist lack of ethics, professionalism, and attacking their own demographic (this is done by DeepFreeze for gaming websites, hence it's so low- however major MSM should still be archived.)

(Source on first image: https://archive.is/GQXVf#selection-333.54-333.58) The ESRB has been at the center of the censorship in vidya in recent years. Everyone scrambles for a T Rating, yet getting that rating is inconsistent. Not to mention the ESRB is charging an arm and a leg for it. Most stores refuse to sell anything without an ESRB rating, but small indies get away with it. If the ESRB got bigger, it could become mandatory (as in, all vidya media must have an ESRB rating- no matter how small the studio). The ESRB is almost there already, but after a few generations, you could have the ESRB refusing to classify some titles for being crass and inappropriate for all. And who should decide what is inappropriate for all in the future? Goal Either we drag the ESRB's reputation through the mud (too expensive, doesn't do it's job properly, is outdated as a guide to parents and consumers, does not assist the industry in a process that is almost needed), or they change their ways and/or costs. Big companies would want the ESRB cheaper (but probably want to keep it around so the Mature label can be used in advertising), smaller companies would want the ESRB cheaper, and the (good) consumers would want the ESRB to have less power. Those who want to use the ESRB as a deterrent for "problematic" games get shafted when it loses it's teeth, and bad parents have to admit they never did the research in an age of youtube instead of blaming devs. Methodology Basic spreading & digging. No major/decent dev is gonna reject the ESRB until it's reputation is reduced, and any backlash is minimal. So, under a new hashtag (ESRBusted) we showcase the worst of the ESRB: - Expense. - Anti-Developer practices. - Inconsistent Ratings (as well as possible signs of bias- against Japanese games or "problematic" themes, etc). Infographs, and digging into the above for more ammo.

These are the groups and sites we need to donate to… The Honey Badger Brigade https://www.feedthebadger.com/projects/infiltrating-alberta-civil-court-disguised-as-ourselves/ The Badgers have a court case against the Mary Sue and their political allies, who want to turn nerd conventions into an identity politics gladiator area. Encyclopedia Dramatica Link: https://www.wesearchr.com/bounties/encyclopedia-dramatica-legal-defense-fund https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Main_Page A patent troll is trying to take down AE. So AE needs help. Archive.is http://archive.fo/ Since we're screw if this goes. I heard they aren't receiving enough donations.

The TPP is coming people This deal has been in the shadows for months, but we have one clean shot to kill it for good. The Bill does have a 60-public reading period where criticisms have a chance to flourish against the bill. Our mission: WE MUST OVERREACT IMMEDIATELY We've only scrapped the surface of how much of our shit this can kill (online downloads, mods, chans, doujiins, cosplay,…list goes on) on top of corporations being able to sue governments more liberally. This is SOPA and PIPA back and worse than it's ever been. Fight the good fight, email your senators, post on social media, trend a hashtag, don't let a single politcian think they can keep their chair touching this

Webm related. In Theory It could help clean up a decent chunk of a gaming community, by getting rid of a large group looking to get a free ride off beta males, and subvert the community. That gets a few more people on GG's side as we try to make services and the like about games for gamers. The admins follow the camwhores- so we've got more soyboys and potential "male allies" who are bound to get pissed their spank-bank got shut down. Yet, complaining about it would make them look bad, and get more eyes on the camwhores, proving Twitch can't do shit, and isn't advertiser friendly. Twitch is also owned by Youtube/Google IIRC. So you're taking money out of their pocket. Finally, Twitch banned "problematic" games in the past (not even porn games), and having a pseudo-monopoly on streaming isn't good for anyone. In Practice "GamerGate chases off Camwhores women off Twitch!" writes itself. We should never not do something out of fear of backlash (they'll pin fake shit to us, so why not)- but if it's not an essential target, we could drop it for more important things. Of course, each individual can do whatever Ops they see fit. If you approve- find people who sponsor or advertise through Twitch- and let them know the admins are fine with nip-slips and softcore porn as long as they can see it as well.

>all these people blaming trump on gamergate in articles everywhere >breitbart getting a top-spot in trump's government, very likely Milo will somehow mention us GET FUCKING READY Gamergate autocompletes again on twitter, which means that the very second trump or any of his very close advisors starts even MENTIONING us, you have be ready as shitIF IT HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO MAKE GAMERGATE TREND AGAIN WITH VIDEOS, GRAPHICS AND SCREENCAPS TO TEACH EVERYONE WHAT IT IS ABOUT, JUST LIKE THE GOOD OL' DAYS >Get your GG folder ready anon, you will possibly need it VERY soon The purpose of this thread is to gather and plan ahead the very high possibility that Gamergate becomes an actual, heavy, present matter in the soon-to-be American government, and to ensure it doesn't get turned into another loud and ridiculous shouting match. Collections of facts, screencaps, graphics, videos, etc. are necessary for easy and quick sharing. Statistics about political affiliations of the GG population, wikis, history articles, anti-gamergate exactions, etc. will always be useful. The point isn't "PR". The media is at an all-time low in terms of trust from the general population, which implies people will seek information and knowledge from social media first and foremost; spreading gamergate's victories, goals and supports will ensure we get fresh blood, sure, but also that it isn't driven away from its actual purpose. For example, here's a list of important outlets which have openly supported Gamergate : - Wikileaks - the SPJ - the FTC… A list of developers : - Mark Kern

hello gamers! I am an Italian guy, doing its final university paper on GamerGate. n order to complete this task, I need every source possible on the controversy, and I ask you for those, since you clearly know more than me on the issue. Can you help me? Thanks! p.s. pic unrelated

Did she really "survived" GamerGate? Or is she saying all this crap for more victim bucks and more attention?

Here is the thread to keep a detailed list of anything and everything relating to the attack on Persona 5 from the media for it's translation meanwhile pass on games released last year (2016) that received censorship left and right.
