@adland Kinda wish this included _why_ certain groups of gamers were being insulted (b/c their behavior was shitty & people pointed it out).

@rjgnyc That’s why the recaps were being linked, so one could read up on that. It’s been rehashed everywhere. My point is about marketing.

@adland But even then unreasonable mobs being unreasonable are still a market share worth acknowledging, so yeah. -
@rjgnyc Ah. I think painting all gamers as unreasonable mobs is the core of the problem here. - View other replies

@sugarplumvodka You read my article carefully, I can tell. Awesome.@rjgnyc -

@sugarplumvodka I guess that was a “no - I didn’t read your article and I’m just riffing of some random talking points I think go here”...? -
@adland I mean, it seems like the article is saying because gaming journalism is painting gamers in poor light, gamers are leaving. - View other replies

@sugarplumvodka That’s an accurate description of current events. The article is about what the brands should be doing to reach consumers. - Show more

@adland 100% get it. Just felt the article said gamers as a whole were being treated unfair, vs a specific group/reasonably spoken about. -
@rjgnyc I’m not sure I’m fully following you. Specific group? -
@adland I've taken the "gamer is dead" thing to be about those who are dox'ing/posting nudes of devs they don't like/etc, not all gamers. - View other replies

@rjgnyc Using a word that encompasses children and old maids like myself to describe doxxers seems quite off then. -
@adland Totally agree. I think it's connected to who "real" gamers are, then using "gamer is dead" to refer to that group w/o the clarity. -
@rjgnyc yep, judging by how insulted “real” gamers are, and how it’s become this giant shitstorm, they shot themselves in the foot.
