I'm one who thinks ethics in game journalism isn't a petty issue, but we had this argument months ago and I'm in a tiny minority opinion on it. -- nm

Apologies if it actually is about ethics. I assumed that was a red herring - ralph wiggum Mar 17, 21:50 10
- I wouldn't try to find much sanity in the GG discussion, as most of it seems to be "don't be misogynist" vs "we're not, it's just that women suck" - Max Mar 17, 21:59 5
  - I actually agree with much of this - Reagen Mar 17, 22:07 3
    - pay for play, plagiarism, and lack of sourcing. My concern is after we defeat the a-holes in GG, everyone cries 'Victory! We can all go home now.' - Max Mar 17, 22:12 [youtube] 1
      - I think a more inclusive gaming community will help rectify some of those issues. Be a bit less hand-in-glove in nature - TWuG Mar 17, 22:21
    - If think you are probably right. -- nm - tobor.2 Mar 17, 22:11
  - It's not a petty issue, but they seem to beusing it as a weapon against women in gaming. - tobor.2 Mar 17, 22:05
- It mostly is a red herring. The relevant issue of "ethics" is discussed in the second paragraph under "History" at the link -- (link) - TWuG Mar 17, 21:53 1
  - Got Depression Quest right, forgot it was Quinn's disgruntled ex that started the "ethics" part of it. - tobor.2 Mar 17, 22:00
- I would say that gaming journalism/reviews is garbage, but not for the reasons that GG supposes. - Reagen Mar 17, 21:52
- GG is an onion. At its core is a bunch of crybabies who exploit people's legitimate concerns in order to further their own hateful screed. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 21:51
