As someone who never played the original Deus Ex and only played Invisible War, the hate for the game is crazy to me. I mean, I get why it was crapped on, but it's still a fantastic game with great atmosphere.
2) His update at the bottom, where he calls out CVG's Rob Crossley with being "the most repugnant person I’ve ever known in the gaming world"? Totally ridiculous. This guy lied about having inside information, was called out on the fact that he was lying, and got mad at how he was called out. That is pretty repugnant, to me. Good on Rob for recognizing the "leak" for what it is and not running it. (He also posted images of his e-mail exchange with this guy on his Twitter.)
Yeah I thought it was funny how he called Rob Crossley out for not wanting to run the rumors without evidence, even though the whole point of the blog was based on game journalists running rumors with no evidence. Here is the whole conversation they had (taken from Rob Crossley's twitter):
If you read through these you can see that Rob remained professional the whole time. It was this Joe guy who was the one acting unprofessional and "repugnant". Joe just got all pissy because he got called on his bullshit.
That last email says it all, Joe couldn't understand why Rob had a hard time believing in Joe's fake source and gets all pissy about it.
It wasn't like a whole bunch of people fell for it. The ones that did actually weren't even gaming-specific outlets, with the exception of VG247 and NowGamer, and those are hardly major outlets. Turns out that he didn't get the results he wanted, but wanted to keep the narrative alive that herp derp, all journalists are lazy! He became the monster he so despises.
for those of you who take the time to comment, "this isn't what I come here for", the answer is simple: don't click on the article? I thought that would be common sense.
But their voice has to be HEARD. The womenz are taking over, and now our games are gonna be too casual and easy and everything is ruined!
@Goldanas: How do you not know that Patrick isn't in the middle of doing something like this already? This sort of thing takes time. Interviews take time.
And for everyone else, they keyword is egalitarian. Feminism is for equal rights with a certain emphasis on women, whichever doctrine you follow, even moderate feminism.
