"The thing is, collective organization is always messy, especially when it’s decentralized and multi-national. And corporate language is always misleading—Amazon’s “one day” language on a multi-day sale is an example of a strategy explicitly meant to entice shoppers into thinking their opportunity for purchase is limited. But we cannot let the inconsistency of organizational language or the misleading sales rhetoric of a company to be cover for inaction or faux-ignorance."

Waypoint should have been something worthwhile. Between Austin & Patrick, they could have done some really in-depth articles about different genres and games. Instead it's a shitposting website about anime and pseudo-activism.

Thanks for writing that up. If you have the Pms and any evidence, you could reasonably approach one of the numerous outlets. Granted, it would have less to do with the hypocrisy and more to do with the dick pic guy.

Yeah I still have some DMs and the email chain but at this point it don't think it would make much difference to anyone

Lol. You serious? You think people would forgive him for sweeping sexual harassment under the rug for a pal?

Well more like who would report on it? Game sites aren't going to start snitching on one another. Hell they already circled their wagons for that dummy who got fired from guild wars, they'd do the same for this.

Waypoint doesn't even do news, just random long form essays. Motherboard is the actual gaming sub website for Vice. Which means, that when Waypoint finally dies, Vice won't give a fuck. They'll just tell Motherboard to copy more press releases from video game companies.

As an individual, I know that I am always-already compromised. I live in a country that grew its wealth on slavery and colonization, and benefit today from those actions even as I move in racist spaces. I work for a corporation that my team has delivered demands to. We work everyday with platforms owned by companies that I think do awful, inhumane things. But I still have a responsibility to join in with and wave the flag of collective action whenever I can. Collective action is never perfect, and its almost always strategic. There, I don’t mean strategic in the strategy-game sense, I mean strategic as in recognizing the limits and hypocrisies of the action, and doing it anyway.

When we take strategic action—like strikes, protests, boycotts, etc.—we aren’t saying that we all agree. We obviously (as this thread shows) have disagreements large and small about how to go about changing the world. Those differences are both procedural and idealogical. That’s okay. But moments of strategic action are those where we say “okay, pause, for right now let’s be unified on this one big thing, and push.”

I genuinely think there is value in discussing different positions here. I know that in my own life, my family and I have been in positions where joining boycotts would severely harm our household. I can’t look back and scold my mother for making sure I could eat and that she could pay rent those months. What I can do is that now—as Editor-in-Chief of this site and as someone who thankfully has been given the means to make independent economic choices thanks to all of your support—is say that the team at Waypoint will continue to take a stand here today, and tomorrow if the strike continues.

Don't listen to Obama, this dude has it all figured out

Yeah I'm glad that he's finally coming around to genuine criticism of unchecked capitalism and I appreciate the incredibly passionate yet articulate manner in which he speaks, but he could have missed me with that both sides-ish part. Accepting fascism as something to be debated is and always will be a joke. Get that shit out of democratic society ASAP and leave it at the bottom of a turd lake where it belongs.

Obama is half white cis male, and didn't stop Trump, so I don't know why we should listen to him anyway, he's basically GamerGate personified.

And I don't mean that in the strategy game sense.

I''m a developers, I'm an insider, I can come up with stuff as good as Emily Rogers and Liam Robertson

There'll be a new Assassins Creed and Call of Duty next year.
Nintendo will release a mario spinoff
Sony have a cinematic game to reveal at an event, maybe the next one but if not then probably the one after that
That game with well known development issues might get cancelled

here's plenty of old stuff with Austin and Streamfriends that was also real ugly like this

What this the stuff you brought up before nachobro?

edit: OK, saw your response below.thanks

Post deleted?

[benjipwns]

It's really problematic that I can't find anything about Obama ever condemning or denouncing GamerGate nor even saying he doesn't support them.

[benjipwns]

I did find this though:

When Gamergate became BernieGate…

Although there is no evidence at all that the person who posted these flyers is in fact a Bernie supporter, the sentiment described on the flyers is very real: anger at POC because Bernie supporters realize that POC don’t support Bernie.

Frankly, it feels as if this flyer literally stirred up a hornet’s nest of angry white boys, harassing POC.

If this is really what set off this wave of harassment I do not know. But it is obvious an organized harassment campaign has been going on in the last two or so weeks.

The goal seems to be to drive Clinton/ Obama supporters off Twitter.

Bernie ain't slick

If Obama had actioned GamerGate back when it started Jessica Price would still be alive today.

Something to think about. And not in the strategy game sense.

also make it a story so it takes into account the totality of the human condition

[Boredfrom]

Maybe Austin should have streamed his clarification, to get views and keep the site fighting the good fight for other week.

[benjipwns]

other than the word salad about strategy, this is the best part of that:

The team doesn’t feel comfortable streaming to some other platform during this strike. Partially, that’s because we have ongoing issues with other services. And partially that’s because whether intentionally or not, that would be us using the strike to test out other platforms, which goes against the goal of solidarity in this moment.

but...it doesn't? the whole point of strike action is employing the collective leverage against the inherent power of the management, as a "partner" you'd be doing more by leveraging your ability to leave the platform to push them to change to keep you than you would simply not using them for a period in purely symbolic action "solidarity"

i'm starting to think Austin Walker isn't our ideal revolutionary leader into the right side of gaming history, like is he even going to have the streets run red with the blood of GamerGaters like Tim Soret and all of the Czech Republic?

As you continue the conversation here, please remember to consider your responses carefully and to speak to each other with clarity of purpose. I think there are real differences of opinion here, and they’re grounded in real differences in circumstance. But behind each is a desire to drag that better world (which we all know is possible) into existence. Let’s focus there, for now, and focus on sharing resources and strategies to bring more people into this large, arduous fight.

Now are these strategies like in the strategy game sense?
