gate keeping on controllable things that are bad is fine

see Elon Musk lying about being a top Path of Exile player, when he payed some farmer for his account

shitting on women gamers because they don’t play game exactly like you do is shit behavior (not saying you are doing this)

it does suck though when your favorite gaming space no longer cares about your demographic though when you were there first

fuck the fallout series post 2 except nv

(tactics was a guilty pleasure)

i think there should be space to complain about the changes without attacking people genuinely enjoying a game in their own way (not aholes trying to make money off of it)

which point?

I’m sympathetic about her complaint over reddit but nothing with mastadon had anything to do with her being a woman

wait is this article really complaining that someone said they don’t care about her complaining about shitty people on Reddit?

presumably the point of leaving for some of us was so we don’t have to hear about stupid shit said by its remaining users

like giving a fuck about what’s left on X

anyway my wife has more console games than I ever had and most cater to her demographic over mine

what a dumb thing for the original reddit users to try and gate keep in this day and age

it’s not the 90s, women game in mainstream

that said the whole lying by rich and famous people for pointless gaming cred is real, just look to moron Elon and Path of Exile

just because someone interviewed believes something doesn’t absolve the writer from doing some level of work confirming the actual reality

plenty of ways to indicated doubt while remaining neutral

so and so claims is quite common

clickbait

what does it matter if the companies are doing the ‘compromising’ instead
