I've been reading with horror the mainstream games journalists attacking en-mass the people who put butter on their bread and finally someone has written what I was thinking. Gamers are not dead, but games journalists are running scared.
From the article:
I’m writing you an open letter, because you really seemed to enjoy the one you received the other day. Unfortunately, you might not like this one as much, because it doesn’t allow you to pontificate to your readership in a belittling and condescending manner, but at least if I am going to outline some painful truths I’ve done so in a manner you may find more palatable. After all, it is customary to make the dying as comfortable as possible during their final moments.

Twitter is great and all in some cases, but as demonstrated by your informative although somewhat lengthy post, is it the right medium for this sort of discussion? The first three paragraphs of your post would take at least 13 tweets, not including adding in a #GamerGate and "(1 of 13)" to each one.
I've not been following any of this, and it looks like for me to get up to speed (which I have made a brief attempt to do once or twice) I will have to spend a good hour or so just reading up on it. The jist I have gotten from it so far is "some people are dicks", and from this story that there are likely some issues with game journalism.
