Senior Microsoft Employee Shows Support For #GamerGate

One Angry Gamer "In addition to the “Xbro” developer that came out in support of #GamerGate previously, and partook in Escapist Magazine’s developer interview, another high-level Microsoft employee has come out in favor of the consumer revolt, telling gamers to keep fighting the good fight."

I wonder when other major companies will post anonymously in support for GG.

As far as I know only this MS dev has been the only major person to support GG. The rest have been a lot of indie devs.

It's playing with fire. Companies don't want negative press on them, and supporting gamergate gets some hate from the other side. Say one thing that could be taken the wrong way, and it could be good-bye job. Happened to some random people already not associated with the gaming industry, and its just sick.

However, if a pretty high placed executive comes out for it, then I bet things could turn around, and maybe GG can start getting some of the notice that it's trying to get. Most websites wouldn't want to piss off a high level executive from a major developer or publisher.

glad to know that its starting to reaching AAA developers and hopefully more start supporting #Gamergate

Pintheshadows3496d ago

Agreed, we need all the support we can get.

Ha never heard of gamer gate must have gotten lost in the resolution articles or Destiny filth . I do like gates not sure what it has to do with gaming though I am sure it is some conspiracy whinge that I missed.

I would suggest to watch all there other videos on gamegate sargon has uploaded.

These bigots need to be stopped.

qwerty6763496d ago

well idk, doesnt microsoft kinda do the same thing with inviting youtubers to these "showings" so they can upload positive videos about their games?

and not just youtubers what about journalists writing all these previews about games.

im sure a lot more stuff is going on behind the scenes.

"well idk, doesnt microsoft kinda do the same thing with inviting youtubers to these "showings" so they can upload positive videos about their games? "

Microsoft sleeps with Youtubers? Joking aside, yeah, that was quite a sketchy move that kind of blurred the lines between promoting your product and promoting bias.

"im sure a lot more stuff is going on behind the scenes."

Then we can't just assume its just MS that does this. All companies and devs no doubt get cosy behind the scenes with reviewers somehow.

Btw, just to put this out there, the day I give the next Call of Duty a 10/10, assume that either the franchise pulled off a massive miracle and delivered something stellar or that Tina Palacios, Community Manager at Infinity Ward finally slept with me.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5087d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5087d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5087d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495087d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5087d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5087d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
