@toast_burner: Yes you can argue that, because neither Legos nor Hatred are VIOLENT. It's like the whole universe has stopped and people suddenly can't distinguish the difference between VIOLENCE and DEPICTION of violence.

Neither Legos, Hatred, GTA or any other video game in the HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES were ever violent. You can't say Lego is less violent because it's not at all violent so you can't compare it to hatred which isn't violent either - you can however say that it DEPICTS less violence.

Wait up.

First of all, whether Hatred being on steam or not doesn't matter on the game's "morality" or whether it's a good game or not, that's an unfortunate logic on your part.

Secondly, it's illegal for 5 year olds to play adult games (in my country at least), not just Hatred. That's also an unfortunate thing to mention as well.

Furthermore, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Hatred ethically, as far as I'm concerned. It is an artistic creation, it's crude yes but art should be crude sometimes and offensive as well as in poor taste.

So, whether Hatred is offensive to some people or not is subjective. What is OBJECTIVE though is that Hatred will not be the cause of violence, as observed and proven by scientific methods which support that video games do not cause violence - I'm just saying.

I think my post clears up every single discussion about Hatred there needs to be had.

Holy shit, what's up your ass, mr tough internet warrior?

If you wanna debate, do it, otherwise drop the attitude because you are pathetic. As far as I can tell, you understand shit about the subject, that's why you're so emotional about it.

But think about all the waifus D:

Because you don't understand that implications behind it.

I bet my ass you DIDN'T see what you claim you saw and you're conjuring it up or projecting it and I am going to ask you to prove your claims, otherwise you're outright lying. And I also think you are being overly mystic about which site and which board in particular you're talking about mainly because you didn't see it happen and you only heard it from other people who claimed it happened or because you know (and you think I don't) that doxxing and other illegal activies wouldn't fly in those particular boards due to the history they have with the law. Your claim that people doxxed in the board I think you are talking about, I can demolish easily but I'll wait first for your proof before I give any effort.

Be particular about which site you are talking about and give proof (pictures should be enough).

LOL if hl1 got out in the early 1900's then I think we're now nearing some catastrophic events that'll happen in 1914 and video games are the least of your problems.

When a community specifically hammers down individuals who take on illegal actions against other people, when a community tries its best to make people realize that they're not the bad guys and the bad guys are not them, when a community collectively organizes charity events for the same people they are accused of bullying and when a community is attacked by the same corrupt media it criticizes then there's absolutely nothing that community can do anymore to convince you of anything.

GG started on half-chan, it was banned from half-chan, it went on full-chan and then spread back to half-chan and reddit. All of these were PASSIONATELY against doxxing and people being fucktards in general. If you claim otherwise, I'm sorry but I'll outright say you are completely full of crap. I don't support GG anymore for my own reason (mainly because it's dead) but the only thing you CAN'T hold against the movement is violence. That's absolutely ridiculous and if you participated in it instead of just getting your information from 3rd parties - who were mainly the targets of the movement - you'd realize this.

People were getting in contact with companies to stop ad contracts with clickbait sites, they served to educate people on the issue, they tackled the hypocrisy of most "blogger" sites who think themselves as professional journalists and mainly stood up to consumer standards and were one of the few times I can remember where people actually took an educated approach to consumerism in the video game industry and this is why they were dismissed by such clearly biased videos like in the OP.

Your statement about GG blacklisting reviewers just because they give bad scores to games GG liked is conjured up, I spent much time in GG hubs and not a single one had this motivation, unless you can prove otherwise.

Just because GG went against the media, doesn't mean they sided with publishers, that's grasping at straws. I don't want to attack you and make an hominem but it seems you got your info directly from the media sources GG attacked.
