Edit: How about a little less hipocrisy for once?

Think about the timming of this thing... This is probably all about Zoe Quinn and Kotaku.

And Kotaku is the king of hipocrisy and smart-ass journalism, so, let´s call a spade a spade for a change?

There is a rumor that a female dev named Zoe Quinn had sex with a journalist from Kotaky to promote her game. Other "sources" stated that it was more than on journalist of more than one website.

Rumor has it that after the thing went public, Kotaku created a lot of iniciatives to get their staff off the hook, including this anti-hate thing.

This is what this is all about, if it is true, I do not know, but that is the deal.

They say her boyfriend spread the news or something, out of jealousy I guess.

Granted, this can all be a lie said by a angry ex-boyfriend, but in that case, why Kotaku did not give Zoey the floor to express herself and tell the true?

This is all to not call Kotaku what they seem to be in the story: a bunch of unethical journalists that trade favors for press. How dumb are we? Or, at least, how dumb do they think we are?

If the Kotaku people screwed and did this thing, just fire them and hire new staff, simples as that. If they did not, just state it.

And I don´t even think this is about just one dev girl.

If the industry reacted like that, it is probably because this kind of thing is wide spread and probably involves much more than sex, things like money, gifts and things like that.

Seems to me that the industry could be afraid that we will find out how promiscuous they really are.

its not just kotaku, none of the big gaming media has ethics. kotaku is just the worst, they thing its normal to review the product of the people u sleep with.
i worked for a science paper for students, and we were not even allowed to eat at company events that were not just for the media. and they Fuck each other, how can we trust any review after this? and its not just 1 time. its normal for the gaming media to have intim relations to gamedevs.

5 from Kotaku ? I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be 5 from different websites before ¬_¬ .

And as Nikkom posted the accused journalist from Kotaku never wrote an article about one of her games.

there is zero ethics in the gaming media. Im tempted to just start calling them Video game propagandists lol journalism is virtually non-existent.

Once a user said to me that i should stop reading english websites cause it wasn't my native language  and i would easily fall into the trap cause a lot of them were biased to MS and Sony.. True story..

lol some sites can be pretty biased, it depends on the site.   the big names though generally arent,  they just dont do any real journalism.  they basically repeat what the game companies want them to say

well german sides are biased too, but i can see that a lot better in my native language(i can read english well, a lot better than write, i cant realy write at all, because of stuff, but its still a huge difference to my native language)

and the bias is other, sure u have some bias if the big publishers pay the adds that pay your paycheck, thats not good, but understandable.

but they dont have a agenda and are not all one big family wit intime ties to the devs.

It takes 30 seconds of research to get like 50 reviews of any given game. That should give you a fair spectrum of opinions from across the board on top of message boards where you can get feedback on virtually any game from many other consumers. Why get your panties in a wad over one website's reviews?

I edited, but I honestly read it was 5 people.
