Tbf, there were actual incidents where game news journalists gave preferential treatment to indie game devs they knew personally/went out drinking with/had dated. There was confirmation of that from leaked game journo email groups/chains. There was also concerns about preferential reviews being given to games that were running ads on a site. There was a small kernel about actual journalistic integrity concerns and what responsible disclosure means for games journalism.

Unfortunately that got swallowed up by a lot of bullshit:

  • absolute waves and waves of women hate. Jesus christ that’s a lot of misogyny.
  • elitism about what qualified as a “real game” (I don’t enjoy “walking simulators” but that doesn’t mean they aren’t video games)
  • people unable to understand that just like movie critics are judging different criteria to movie consumers, game critics can judge based on different criteria to gamers
  • weird group stalking behavior towards specific female game devs
  • attacking creators themselves rather than whatever elements of their games people found lacking
