Kotaku gets triggered by a weeb steam curator Leader 11/04/2015 (Wed) 21:59:40 Id: 9d2fd1 No. 295219
>Waifu Hunter(a joke curator) shit talks Read Only Memories >Grayson gets triggered because he's friends with the devs(he even disclosed it lel) >Waifu Hunter is also dangerously close to Kotaku's amount of followers as a curator >kuchera joins in on twitter https://archive.is/ZtV3e This is amazing. Journos got triggered that they can't control the narrative and people can shit talk the artsy fartsy games their friends make. A bloo bloo only we should be able to spout drivel.
>>295219 Nathan Grayson returns. In this case he's right, Curators do need revamping so I don't have to see shit like Kotaku, Polygon, Judas Sterling and Sarkeesian when I'm browsing Steam. Only showed followed Curators or don't bother showing them at all. And n.
>>295253 There was already an op awhile back for techraptor and others to push kotaku off the front page.

>All these big media companies being salty because individuals in their basements are replacing them
>>295298 To be fair, that HAS to hurt like fuck. Plus, now they're gonna have to get new jobs, and games journalism is already regarded as bottom of the barrel. Bitches gon b werkin retail.

Just a reminder that the GG curator is still on page 7

>>295267 >>295272 Most user reviews are all about poking fun of the game's defining issues and/or for the lulz. I have gone through a few that don't say anything other than a witty quip. Dumb stuff mostly. However I would take hundreds of gamer quips over a shit curator like Kotaku pretending to be professional when we know they are anything but. These fuckers deserve no sympathy.
>>295340 >However I would take hundreds of gamer quips over a shit curator like Kotaku pretending to be professional Truth can be easier to find in jest and quips, then it can be found in seriousness.
>>295219 Which is it? We want disclosure or we do not? Props for disclosing. It makes the article flavoured with salt, but finding out in the article instead of by archived is a good thing. Let's not mock them for finally giving us what we asked. >>295282 Yes, please. At the very least a 'Not interested in what this curator thinks" button. Actually, I'd rather that. Finding new curators who can actually write a decent review is a nice thing.
>>295320 It hasn't been updated for 12+ months, what the fuck do you expect?
>>295246 What about anothers below Waifu Hunter? If those are solid it could be useful to boost above Kotaku or even Credits.
>>295340 >Most user reviews are all about poking fun of the game's defining issues and/or for the lulz This is implying "most reviews" are negative and… no, not really

Their stupid paper at the U.N. had to be removed because the no-sense was too big, even for U.N. standards. They're beyond fucked, they don't fully comprehend it yet and they will lose everything.
>>295395 > Which is it? We want disclosure or we do not? We want. It's still funny that they believe they can be taken seriously when making "totally honest" reviews about their disclosured friends.
>>295247 Because most hypsters didn't live in the 80s, barelly in the 90s when in some countries it was 80s: the sequel.

So what alternative system are they proposing here? It seems like "the most popular curators are the ones people actually want to read that recommend games they want to play" works perfectly fine. What are they requesting? That Steam instead offers top spots to certain "elite" curators that are cozy with management?
>>295395 The main reason to push for disclosure is to force them to get someone who isn't fucking the sources to write the article, because if every article starts with "I'm shilling my mates" like this one, it makes them look as disreputable as they are. Basically, we're laughing at them being forced to disclose how corrupt they are.
>>295395 Of course we want disclosure. But does that mean it's okay for them to make articles because a steam curator shit talked their DEV friends any less unprofessional and scummy? No. In this situation RECUSAL or just NOT MENTIONING WAIFU HUNTER BUT GIVING ANOTHER EXAMPLE would have been the correct action. Disclosure is a compromise for when you absolutely cannot avoid a conflict of interest so you must make it obvious. Not a get out of jail card.
>>295219 >However, I have nothing to say about the quality of the game, as it’s not relevant to this article. He knows the game is shit, he just cant say it without "triggering" his game dev friends into quitting the industry. Grayson just doesn't like the fact that people can be actually honest about a title if it is shit.
>>295301 >retail >hiring any permanent employees >2015 Even McDonalds is laying people off. These people are going to end up homeless in San Francisco.
>>295279 love it, love everything about it
>>295247 Tank Police and, at a push, Bubblegum Crisis… there was one about a robot cop thing I seem to recall having perms and triangular earrings, too.

Holy shit guys, we did it.
>>303183 No surprise there, journalists don't know what we want. They want to whitewash things and sterilize them, when we just want them to be real with us. It's much more fun to read a funny yet surprisingly honest review than it is to be told not to buy something because it is offensive to someone somewhere.
>>303234 #notalljournalists
>>295219 >Waifu Hunter(a joke curator) You take that back. Somehow that joke is better than 99% of curators out there and he knows the waifu market well enough to make me consider some games. I literally trust a man searching for waifus more than Kotaku and IGN for vidya because at least he's honest and is knowledgeable on the subject.

>>303183 Excellent. Now let's push Kotaku even lower.

>>295248 What's wrong with yuri fans? I like yuri and I wouldn't say I'm mentally unwell, then again the only thing of mine that "interacts with the community" is my python script that crawls dynasty-scans. Please elaborate, I want to know how long do I have until I can't get my fix anymore because "hurr durr privilege and sexism".
