I think, in this instance, she's fighting an imaginary battle of sexism in situations where no sexism was present.
I just wanna say a little bit here.
Sexism in Video Game is huge.I used to read dev…
I still feel the need to address this section and why it is piss-poor writing, and include an anecdote to illustrate why:
I’ve spoken with several former employees of ArenaNet and they’ve all told me the same thing: MO is not the hero Guild Wars fan…
Seems she wants to be a bigger piece of the thread: https://archive.fo/5MChO
You can respond if you want, but I've got any notifications from people I don't follow muted, and I'm not going to check responses. If you're a legit industry/press …
The problem is that, once again, you used a simple, objective controversy to do it. MMORPG.com had the opportunity and knowledge to factually present the story and its outcome against the popular narrative spread by other media outlets. You used thi…

What kind of double-speak is this?
Bill, just admit you don't like Mike O'Brien and it's coloring everything you write.
At least if you put that disclaimer up, you'd be taken seriously.…

Let's be clear about what has occurred here. The reason why this story has gone viral well beyond the confines of gaming websites is not over whether a company was in the right to release employees over breaking rules but that it…

Really have to wonder how she managed to get a job at Arenanet in the first place given her history, though perhaps now her future employment opportunities will be severely curtailed, at least within the gaming industry, hard to im…
I'll let this speak for itself.

While this is an opinion piece, it's a fairly uninformed one.
She had a history of doing this at Paizo prior to ArenaNet and was fired for it.
Do you think that this was an isolated inciden…

In current testing phase. The game has come a long way. Very excited for the class system and the multiple ways you can build your character. Very excited for the frostweaver class. Excited to see how the seasons effect ga…
Warframe is a game that really relies on number crunchers to suss out the most effective ways to play the game.
It's very much dragging the playerbase by the nose, creating new materials and new locations and new methods of farming.
While …

Just a lazy game concept. They literally copy+pasted a Blizzard game. If the MMORPG genre teaches game developers anything its not to copy Blizzard games. Especially extremely popular ones (all of them).

The lead animation director, Mike Jungbluth, made celebratory remarks over the death of John Bain, aka Totalbiscuit, in about 24 hours after Bain's passing from a 4 year battle with colorectal cancer.
These comments persisted for the rest of th…
@Ruadan No, it's just that the game doesn't really make you feel like you're doing anything worthwhile. I end up nuking or selling pretty much anything that drops. The only time combat feels good is solo, otherwise it's very hard to get a sense of…

It's pretty simple. Toxic posts get more attention then good or critique posts. Also, I've seen devs and website admins delete comments that aren't toxic when giving a game real criticism. Oh yeah, MMORPG.com is one of those sit…
This will never be fixed.
Blizzard will not get hard-assed enough because if you yank an account, you basically scare off people who worry about losing an account they're heavily invested in. Even those who are decent players.
You'll keep the one…
It's clearly meant to try and memory-hole the last 5 years of complaints about the game that are still surprisingly valid.
The forums are a mass of negativity and they have an Expansion on the way.
It's an attempt to scrub the site for new…
