The great GamerGate discussion. (Stuff and things)

30 seconds of research showed:

>That’s the Queens bank. You need at least €1,000,000 in tangible assets to secure a loan, which according to Derek CIG doesn’t have.

>The interest rate of the loan is very low, which is why large financially sound corporations do that (you can get a higher return on investment with their liquid assets while finance at the very low rate from the Queens bank). In simple terms if your rate of return is .5% and your loan rate is .25%, it makes sense to borrow cash instead of using your own.

>Derek and Co. do not understand finance because they have never been professionally or fiscally successful enough to be in a position where their assets are used as investment.

>AKA, CIG most likely isn’t sitting on 50 million dollars worth of cash; they have an operating cost and unused founds are used as investment and generate income.

But what do I know. I just googled financial investment and used common sense. I can’t be right on this.

Yet according to all the pundits online (and Something Awful), it’s another nail in the coffin. Worse is seeing this from the “ethics and journalism” crowd. Hell, even that crazy (autogynophiliac) is putting the kibosh on this shitty journalism from people who claim to know better.

TL;DR GamerGate’s chosen sons continue to suck at the “ethics and integrity in games journalism” thing, and the Star Citizen loan situation in a nutshell:  

 
To think, me and my friends in #RetakeMassEffect are held responsible for all this retardation by an influential sex offender because we had the nerve to ask for something Bioware promised us…

@Ebalosus
Wow, none of that has to do with journalism ethics, but you use it to shit on GG. Top notch, man.

And I even missed this classy bit. You are a treasure.

1. This is about Fig silencing legitimate criticism that should be bigger news than it is, leading to…
    
2. My opinions on Star Citizen and whether or not is scam is irrelevant, as me bringing it up here has more to do with it’s coverage in the media. Hell, before the latest controversy, I was going to compare and contrast the coverage Star Citizen gets with the coverage Elite Dangerous gets, using an example of a journalist praising Elite’s developing story and gameplay without ever playing the fucking game.
    
3. @Commune you and the other’s language comprehension is quite limited, given that you don’t seem to understand what I said; which is “A friend of Whatevs and mine, Shinobi/Prax/Prox _{(we use all three to refer to him)} uses the term ‘nGGer’ when mentioning GG, because of his hostility to what it’s become.” I don’t use slurs when referring to opponents when I want to address them sincerely. My use here is an expression of both my exasperation with what the movement has become, and sympathy with Prox in his hostility towards the movement.
    
   I am nominally slightly critical of the modern movement because of it’s broad aegis and it’s hypocrisy when it comes to certain issues. I’m fine with ‘SJW’ games and themes within other games, but also think such things should be censured or shoehorned in. I’m fine with opinion pieces, even ones I don’t agree with, but don’t want them censured or taken as gospel. I want ethics and integrity in games journalism, but don’t think those are mutually exclusive with what SJWs want either.
