where's the difference?
On one side: Journos
>disability slur
Wat? Are they trying to turn 'lame' or 'dumb' into a slur now?
It was the author mishearing a lyric in Wake Up, Get Out There as "moronic" when it was just the singer saying "Restarted" in engrish and then trying to start something over it.
Whole thing ended up revealing how incompetant both the journalist and their editor were.
Why are they trying so hard to make a schoolyard insult like that into a slur?
so you can't call you moronic people moronic anymore, ie you aren't allowed to acknowledge reality
>you aren't allowed to acknowledge reality
That seems to be a persistent theme the last 10 years
Incels
On the other side: Influencers

Influencers by far.
so many influencers brought in normalgays who want to change the community to their way or censor shit. There is no uniqueness anymore, it all becomes homogeneous.
certain dark humour is okay, certain shit isnt. There is no room for deviance, your way is wrong.
Refferences to their fav streamer is fine and normal even if it has nothing to do with the game.
The community is left unable to recover if it was smalle to begin with.
I do admit peoppe like anita fricked over shit big time but that's only cause people and communities starting fighting and rallied up.
>influencers brought in normalgays who want to change the community to their way or censor shit.
SONY brought non-gamers and women in during the mid 90s. In their effort to maximize profits. And thus they still cater and groom cancerous people. In the end its all about money and control. They don't give a frick about you. You are just a fricking cash cow.
Journalists peddle shit rhetoric to sell stories and stoke derision and angst. Influencers appeal to the masses for profit and can easily be ignored by devs.
Therefore, Journos get lined against the wall.
This, most influencers know to shut up when they rile people, journos get paid to provoke
I would rather listen to a contrarian than a shill, at least the contrarian kinda believes in something and isnt peddling raid shadow legends to me
I'm trying to input my Doritos Code on dewxp.com but it redirects me to the mountaindew website and i don't know where to input my code especially since it's a Doritos xp code not a Mountain Dew code. Help me Geoff i need double xp, i need double xp.
>caused more damage to the gaming industry?
Corporate greed. The coke nosed suits sold us all out. Greed fricks everything that is good and spirited. Every single time. Journos and influencers are only the symptoms of the cancer.
Journos are just influencers with a title. I mean look at this shit. An allegedly unbiased journalist advertising Halo sponsored by Doritos and Mountain Dew. Why would anyone trust what he says when he's being paid by the people he's supposed to be critical of?
Yet influencers will shill literally anything, from shitty mobile games to outright scams like that "buy an acre of land in scotland so you can be called a lord" business
Ethics in gaming journalism caused gamergate, but for some reason no one gives a frick influencers are the biggest sellouts in the universe
Influencer. Not to say video game "journalists" aren't loathsome, influencer actually have a degree of control over zoomie opinions. I see people unironically repeat influencer opinions like fact on this board, that would never happen for a journalist.
Microsoft
Whoever is to blame for the shift of SpiderMan 1 to SpiderMan 2. Also Doritos Pope always says MARVEL'S SPIDERMAN 2, it sounds so unnatural like Marvel will sue someone on TV if they don't say their name next to the Spiderman 2 PS5 game. Fricking soulless Geoff at the Game Awards Show saying MARVEL'S SPIDERMAN in the nominees. Grow a pair Geoff, you can say Spiderman 2 PS5.
Journos are second only to corporate investors and suits in terms of how ruinous they are to everything they touch, Ganker likes to not touch on the main problem that made the industry go to shit and instead think it's the """woke""" virus or whatever the frick and they blame it on that to almost autistic levels
Journos without a doubt. ""Influencers"" at least exist as a sort of celebration of the fun things about video games, even if they're all annoying, gay as frick shills with no integrity.
95% of all game journos, however, actively thrive on whipping up bullshit controversies and promoting censorship and propaganda, and have even less accountability for the shit they spew than "influencers" do.
Gamers, so that rules out journos.
Streaming (Twitch)
Say what you will about journos, at least they werent known for being groomers
Some homosexual youtubers being groomers doesn't negatively impact my gaming experience in any way, unlike game journalism cancer
Gamers, unironically
Influencers
Journalists can say and write anything they want but Asmongold saying your MMO sucks can materially impact your business
Sseth nearly killed SS13
And that's just the two I know about, there are influencers way bigger ruining things just by existing
I think that power just shifted over time, there is a reason Jeff was fired over Kane and Lynch, or the fact the IGN review of GodHand is more popular than the game itself.
Reviews used to help/ hurt sales
man i miss balding clean faced sessler
that amish beard looks fricking ridiculous
journos started the decline, influencers continue to propagate it

Hard mode: has anyone done anything good for the gaming industry?
Yes, some have objectively, IE valve with what they done to linux to bring it up as a genuine competitor to other operating systems, too bad the troony population infested linux
That is a very good question OP. Without doing any research I'd say they cause very similar problems
To this day the tf2 community still seethes about overwatch just because some game journalist made a moronic comment about "out with the old. in with the new"
journos
they report and ramble about everything else other than what should make video games fun
not only that but they demolish reputations of decent games by giving them low scores which scares off a lot of people
plus they have over the time diluted complexity in video games due to their constant complaints about difficulty and intricacy
journos by far
Gabe Newell or if you want to go back more, then the entire Telecom industry. Tragedy of the Commons. Digital Downloads should be unavailable to consumers. This would fix everything.
Black person gabe has nothing to do with this, even if digital download didn't exist the industry will be shit, if you want a good example look at the 1983 crash, it was because companies were being greedy and pushing out low quality shit with massive prices, it's the exact same case except now they are being punished, Gabe and valve were objectively the best things to happen to the industry.
*they aren't being punished
also digital publication lead to user reviews on video games that you can easily access so it's also a good thing because you aren't being tricked by journos to buy garbage anymore
Both of them because they inherently share the same mindset.
Journos by far
