Yes, true story some mobile devs and game journos are butthurt for Drdisrespect calling them out.
There are good devs and journos but man this game industry needs some serious house cleaning starting with mobile games cash grabs, false advertising and predatory business practices.
The sad thing about social media/Youtube is that it's usual butthurt journos calling for more censorship because they can't handle any criticism.

After the Diablo Immortal backlash and PR disaster, this happens (butthurt mobile game journos):

Sigh.

No comments.

In my honest opinion, mobile gaming in itself isn't the problem here. Let people play their games on any platform they prefer I don't give a flying fuck if it is PC, PS4, Xbox or whatever.

The thing is, that most mobile games are designed as an easy cash-grab and this is what gets mobile gaming stigmatized for quite some time in the future I think. Nevertheless tho, the recent money-grabbing techniques are in basically every part of the Gaming industry today so that argument kinda makes sense.

What bugs me the most about this is, that this seems like a huge shitshow of people trying to push their own agendas by bashing a certain type of people they proclaim as their enemy. Making the Diablo desaster about "toxic masculinty" and "gamers are entitled assholes" is a fucking disgrace, no debate. But overall this shit seems like a totally unnecessary outburst just because far too many people are taking the bait every single day.

To be honest: DrDisrespect is one hell of a troll and if were a gaming journalist I wouldn't even consider making this as much of a huge deal as it became right now because it's just plain irrelevant in the greater scheme of things. But today basically everyone gets triggered by anything so of couse he got some people caught up on the bait and give him the win in this one.

All in all: What the fuck is wrong with people lol

To be honest: DrDisrespect is one hell of a troll

Before Diablo Immortal we had 'dishonest harmony' now we have 'dishonest conflict'.
This conflict/shitshow is not entirely fair for those caught in the crossfire. But the game industry brought this on themselves.

Blizzcon Diablo "boo guy" was so disappointed he could barely speak:

Yeah that's what I was trying to say and you summarised it perfectly.

"While I made the error, you are the one entirely to blame"

Watching those cosplay actors play Diablo Eternal on cellphones was... entirely... underwhelming.

While I think that the business decision by Blizzard isn't totally false, the overall presentation of the game was roally fucked up by them. Sure, they want to appeal to the Asian market where mobile gaming is much more prominent then in the West, but yeah revealing that at their convention that consists of 99% PC Gamers and long-term fans of the series and making it seem like it was something big about a possible new iteration of the Diablo-Franchise on PC is a huuuuuuuge mistake. I totally understand and support the criticism that followed the reveal and I see nothing wrong with being disappointed about it and of course there is nothing wrong with criticising it apart from what some "journalists" think.

Important fact why PC/console gamers should be concerned:

Americans largely won’t pay to win a video game — but Chinese gamers will:

After a negative reaction to Command and Conquer Rivals:
EA makes a defense of mobile gaming (it's not about the money right?)
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-06-25-people-make-the-mistake-of-saying-this-is-what-you-really-want

We're going to come to a point where we need to respect mobile games as much as console games. I know that's difficult to see when you come to E3, but our mobile business is growing quite significantly, and we look at those teams with the same value and the same integrity as we look at our console teams. And we believe this is the best interpretation we can do of the brand right now."

Dehumanization of the customer:

In game development, we often talk about “whales”. They are an outlier; a small group of consumers that make up 50% of all in-game revenue:
“These people are very valuable users who are single-handedly making games profitable so that game companies can make a lot more games for those people who don’t pay anything.”
– VentureBeat, “Only 0.15 percent of mobile gamers account for 50 percent of all in-game revenue”

Drdisrespect vs Kotaku "journalism"

Hey guys, Nathan Grayson here, hot shot reporter at the all mighty Kotaku website.

You know, I’ve written so many cool things in my life, but nothing compares to my coverage of the 2009 mobile Angry Birds $100 tournament.

And guess what..... I won!!!

Dr. Disrespect DUNKS ON Kotaku Whiners:

Dr. Disrespect Returned To Twitch much to the disappointment of whiny games journalists who wanted him banned for life and homeless

... AND Homeless?
Oh, my. The inconvenient truth he spouts!

... AND Homeless?
Oh, my. The inconvenient truth he spouts!

IMO we need to support the diversity of opinions/intellectual diversity as no one knows all the answers. If gamers don't support each other, no one else will.
Old school access media/media conglomerate has serious conflict of interest and not pro-gamer.
Big corporate media has supported hit pieces on the gaming community all the way back to Dungeons and Dragons board games.

The AAA game industry is in disarray and only a few game "journos" have been honest about this.
Talk about failed priorities and digging your own grave.

YouTube and/or streaming influencers such as Drdisrespect is the new access media that sell games.
Old school access media will become irrelevant as they failed to adapt.
Even EA marketing is making significant investments into influencers to sell games/MTX:

This is the future!
Personally, I'm hoping independent creators such as Bellular News continues to grow and they have aspirations to create new gaming documentaries/investigative journalism.

For a deep dive into the downfall of old school gaming journalism watch this video series:

As for the slippery slope of censorship. This game director explains the history of game censorship. The new Chinese game market is very pro-censorship to the detriment of western gamers:

Dr Disrespect finally unbanned on Twitch, and his chat went ballistic even with him offline:
https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/dr-disrespect-finally-unbanned-twitch-749864

This clearly demonstrates Kotaku is on the losing side of history trying to have Disrespect permanently banned from Twitch. Jason Schreier is a competent journalist but he bet on the wrong horse.
