I tend not to take too much attention to the bias people put up. Much as it may annoy me. I remember someone calling them out on this type of thing a few months ago and people said he was the one being immature. I think he was right to point it out. The internet has given people more power then they deserve. Surely people can look at things in a more positive manner?

Thanks for these links. I haven't read this person before, but I certainly will going forward.

As far as this story goes, it makes me pretty sick to my stomach. I consider myself a journalist -- I no longer work in journalism, but I've worked for several local newspapers and magazines in my home state of Connecticut -- and the behavior on display here is mind-boggling. I've written on this site a dozen times that the single most impactful thing holding back video games from becoming what they deserve to be acknowledged as -- a serious form of entertainment media -- is the lack of a professional corps of video game critics. Osed125 said it best when he compared video game critics unfavorably to movie and music critics. Those critics have a professional legacy as a foundation to their writing.

Video game critics need to grow up. And when they do, maybe their readers -- the rabid, reactionary fans who are tormenting this young woman who made some very big mistakes -- will start growing up too.

Thanks for these. They make for enlightening reading.

I don't think Eurogamer can be blamed for this one. He was forced to step down, yes, but under intense pressure from outside Eurogamer. At least Eurogamer had the balls to actually publish this which is far more than can be said for most other sites out there. It's also still online (albeit edited) so the point of the article is still present if not hammered home.

It happens from time to time

My first time. Pretty intense feeling. :P

That's very true actually. I tend not to notice stuff like that as I don't frequent those sites, but I suppose it does happen in all walks of life.

Honestly.......who cares? We as gamers should just make informed decisions about what games we want and buy them. Gamers who frequent forums should talk and debate, no more. Lashing out and "fallouts" are a complete waste of time that people shouldnt concern themselves with.

I mean I read the OP and Im like: So? How does this effect me?

It's good that you say that because I like Eurogamer and I want to be able to go there in the future too.

well that's social media for you,she got the pitchfork mob

but live by the sword die by the sword
