It's just a generic blah blah blah everyone's gamers blah blah elitism. And more importantly, the GamerGate fiasco was a complex issue, not something that could be summed up in one paragraph. In short, I hope it will be canned and forgotten. In fact, I would love to be able to brain-bleech the whole nonsensical disaster from the world's collective memory. |
That is actually the worst possible outcome. you don't stick your head in the sand and pretend something didn't happen, no body learns anythin from that. The unethical practises of the journlists and the gaming devs involved need to be called out and taken to task for their actions, not sure what real remedies there for that apart from showing other journalists that if you are corrupt you will lose your job or your reputation. The trolls, mysogynists et al also need to be called out, charged where appropriate or at least identified so that others see such behaviour isn't acceptable and has real consequences. nobody learns anything if you sweep it under the carpet and forget it.
