    Tropes vs. Women Author Driven From Home

    Sorry I couldn't respond sooner, but here is the link for when she talks about Angel in Borderlands 2. She uses Angels death as an example of damsel in distress and mercy killing. If you played Borderlands 2 you would know that those tropes really don't apply to Angel. You could only come to...

    The biggest issue I have is that almost everything she mentions also happens to male characters in games. She only focuses on female characters though, and just because they are female, it makes it wrong because... reasons? You could just as easily make the claim that video games are misandrist...

    Those shots are from xoxo fest or whatever it is. I looked but I cannot seem to find any video of the event, just pictures. This video is one of the top google results when looking for AS and listen and believe. I feel like her critisisms of "listen and believe" echo my thinking on the topic.

    Don't forget about strongarm bracers for certain builds. This only really concerns Monks and Barbarians though.

    If you go by the dictionary definition that statement is pretty much true. Right now though you have sex-negative (radical) feminists who have their own definition which is nothing like the dictionary definition. They will often switch between the 2 definitions depending on what they are trying...

    There are sex-positive and sex-negative femenists. They really don't like each other that much, and it is the sex-negative femenists that are the radicals. It is the sex-negative side that is always crying about patriarchy, rape culture, all men are rapists, sexual images are bad, etc. They...

    His past problems are that he was falsely accused of sexual harassment and then got a ton of harassment from the "SJW" side. That makes him clearly biased in this whole thing, but there is nothing wrong with speaking up about it.

    Everyone already knew that when she made it public. The first thing the police or the FBI will tell you when you report online threats is to not respond in any way. You could say that this is proof you can show her supporters but they don't care about facts, they care about feelings.

    Seasons were great in D2 I don't know what you are talking about. The problem with seasons with D3 are that there is no economy you need to reset, and you can switch your build at any time.

    That is why I call it trolling. There is nothing that says you cannot troll another troll, that is pretty much most of the internet at this point. Trolling is simply trying to get a rise out of someone. I am personally not familiar with the Kramer incident, just heard random things about it...

    It will actually most likely lose them money overall because a lot of people left the game once those changes were put in place. I am sure there will be a few people who stick around because they can buy their way to victory and they like that, but most people will not touch a game that is pay...

    Your post reads like you are part of the comany so if possible I would like to ask a question. Do you have any plans to change your current pay-to-win model, or have you already fixed those issues in the last few days? I am talking about the insanely low drop rate for Archeum, and the fact...

    @darkswordsman17 - I see your points, and with recent information coming out I have requested that this thread be locked. I got way too invested in this whole thing, and am taking a step back for a bit to hopefully be able to look at this whole situation more objectively.

    But she has lady parts so clearly it is only because she is sexist.:rolleyes: Even if you make well reasoned arguments against her videos it is only your my-soggy-knee showing. If you are a woman and you make well reasoned arguments against it, that is because the patriarchy brainwashed you to...

    I had too much coffee so couldn't sleep. I never said anything about their conflict of interest, but the fact she slept with guys who are in the industry is fact. It is also a fact that people started questioning the ethics of game journalists because of it (even if they were wrong). Lastly...

    I updated the OP, and I am going to bed. @darkswordsman17 - I guess you missed the part where judges are directly financially invested in the outcome of the awards. I also don't get the whole comparison with PA promoting one of their own creations on their own site. These award shows are not...

    That along with all the other censorship is what made the whole thing blow up and allowed this to get revealed. She was the catalyst for the questioning of the gaming press, and beyond that she is, and has been, completely irrelevant.

    Their lawyers think it is okay for them to make a public announcement that they have uncovered racketeering and name names. No one knows yet (obviously) if they will actually be prosecuted, but the fact that their lawyers said the announcment was okay speaks volumes imo. If their lawyer didn't...

    Racketeering in the indie dev scene

    You have to be joking. Winning awards at these events gives a TON of publicity for them. You have a group of people that are financially invested in the success of a game, and they are judges at events that will give a lot of publicity if said game wins. Clearly nothing wrong with that, not at...

    I can understand that, and that is why I love Torchlight 1 and 2 so much. My favorite mods for Torchlight 1 raised level cap to 999 and another had gear upgrades for the entire leveling process. Not being able to mod is my biggest gripe with D3 and PoE. I understand why PoE cannot allow them...

    I would just run rifts and use kadala for it. You are much more likely to get a cache legendary from a cache. I actually think that was my first level 70 legendary for my seasonal crusader. I really wish it was possible to trade.

    That is the entire point of ARPGs. I also don't get how you can say you give PoE a pass for doing the exact same thing. Maps are actually worse in a lot of ways too unless you always play in a group. Once you get to high level maps if you are solo you will constantly be forced to either buy them...

    MMO Long Life Cycles and new MMO development

    I really think that if if a company basically made a 3d version of runescape with action combat they could make a ton of money. Runecape really has the best quests I have ever seen in an MMO. I also like having a lot of different things to level, and having quests require certain non-combat...

    Correct. The trial can be a little annoying after having to do it many times, but there really isn't a better way to do it. Most people are actually failing it on purpose and going up only 1 level at a time on purpose to maximize loot. They skip the first 3-4 groups of mobs at the start of a...

    They are being attacked by the social justice side for "internalizing their oppression" and other such nonsense. They have created a situation where they can always claim they are right because even if you are a woman/minority and say you are not a victim, to them you are still a victim. If you...
