Just found out about #gamergate and im so surprised. I never thought there would be so much drama in game journalism. For those that don't know, its about some big media sites journalists colluding to push their own agenda and a movement that was born to expose this.
Really fucked up shit..especially this (taken from http://gamergate.me/2014/10/what-is-gamergate/ site seems to have changed hands? good article tho. There is also a wiki that seems full of interesting operations - http://wiki.gamergate.me/index.php?title=Main_Page )
Lowering review scores and thereby damaging the sales of games which don’t conform to their political opinions, instead of being empathetic enough to see other points of view and assess them impartially
Journalists in sexual relationships with their subjects
Wow, so it's pretty scandalous to be a game journalist...who knew.
What's sad is this affects some of the game devs to change their games and there also has been a lot of doxxing going on for #gamergate supporters.
I guess like anything else, there is always a way corruption can happen.
