What the fuck are you talking about, Wu? "Price Sensitive"? The AAA audience has games anywhere from $60-120 dollars in price. "Dramatically less development costs" To make something really innovative, you need to put in the time and money to make it. Rev60 is in no way innovative or niche. There are tons of games like Rev60 that have the same "tap-to-win" aspect, but are better than Rev60. Those games find ways to use the "tap-to-win" formula creatively, Angry Bird has you slide to shoot at the pigs, Crossy Road makes you think by having you time your taps and directions, and even the infamous Flappy Bird had "TAP TO NOT DIE". Rev60? It's just slide this bar to cause [x] to [x]. It's like regular video game QTES, except there is no time limit, and nothing will change if you don't slide it. There may be dialogue choices, but at the end, there are only two choices to lead to two default endings, making every previous dialogue choice pointless.

It's worth noting that if you haven't sided sufficiently with Min or Amelia by halfway, the game ends with a Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.
 
it has been said many times before that R60 is not a game; it is a visual novel. There is no gameplay, just cutscenes strung together by the QTEs.
 
Hey Johhny, why dontcha ask the deveoplers of Sunset how loyal and profitable that niche of customers are?

SJWs don't buy games and mostly don't spend much money. Mostly because they don't have any money really.

I can't name 1 successful SJW driven business.

Arena.net the people behind Guild Wars has a bunch of sjws amongst them. Feminist Frequency is definitly a business too.
 
Wu retweeted this:

The author of the tweet actually has some credentials worth speaking about, but how many handsies did Wu have to give to get on the list?

Just a thought, 50 slots is a lot to fill. If there were a counter trafficking lecture to include 50 survivors I would make the list without even knowing about it.
 
Has anyone posted this article yet? : http://www.inc.com/david-whitford/gamergate-women.html
Its a standard fluff piece about Wu being a brave feminist etc, but it includes the 'big project' Wu's been talking about lately :

Wu has seen the light and realized Revolution62 isn't going to happen (or maybe some of that $25 million is going to 'accidentally' end up funding it) and wants to move into an area actual experts have been working on and struggling with for decades. Or it could be Wu's next sympathy ploy, going on the talk circuits crying about investors discriminating against brave harassed women in tech.

The most funny thing about the "Emotional" gaming that banana wants already exist, the first time i saw it was in Outcast with the GAIA System, quoting wikipedia

Wikipedia dijo:
The AI used in Outcast was considered revolutionary at the time it was released.[10] It was based on a proprietary engine codenamed GAIA, for Game Artificial Intelligence with Agents, which was composed by a set of C++ libraries that provided sophisticated control of game characters based on research in distributed AI. Intelligence is represented as a distributed activity over a set of autonomous routines called agents. An agent uses skills, such as hearing, sight, acrobatic, to complete assigned tasks. These agents can interact and even compete with each other to realize a complex task.

Tl;dr the NPCS of outcast will remember EVERYTHING you do to them and behave pretty normally, you can see for example a NPC searching for water, going to sleep, they can remember if you were a jerk to them, it was a great game, i was soul crushed when the kickstarter to remade it failed to get funded

The 25 million bucks campaign is just a cheap trick of him to get attention, is a second version of his excuses like people complaining to him about the 400.000$ he wasted in Revolution 60, no one in their right minds would give money to him after he scammed his own fans

From what I've seen, none of them are overtly pushing an agenda though. We don't have to help the Centaurs and accept DredgeKin, we can just kill them. Not to mention some of the armors that my girlfriend's Sylvari warrior gets wouldn't even protect her.

Wu isn't a SJW. His comments about women and actions make that clear. He's just trying to play them for pitybucks and notoriety, neither of which has really came to him, and neither ever will.

C. Pretend to be hard at work just porting a game while in reality yapping about inane bullshit and pretending to be an industry guru, without doing any actual work.
Jesus is that twitter avatar ugly. I've been busy the last two weeks. What insanity did miss in 60+ pages?

To be fair, it's almost certain most SJW's are actually all hypocrites milking a bunch of morons to gain social power and influence. It's basically politics.

Macs are pretty shit for game development (if you don't know how to use one) IMO
Jesus is that twitter avatar ugly. I've been busy the last two weeks. What insanity did miss in 60+ pages?
Wu missed his due date for the game, splurged about books and games that are way better than his, tried to sound important a few more times, and wore a dumbass danganronpa eyepatch to BBC.
 
Only difference is that Wu is much more shameless and inept at this than most.

And yet somehow Wu ended up in prime position when Gamergate spilled into the limelight as a figurehead of the SJW's and for a long time was a mod on Ghazi. I wonder if Bri Bri's going into apocolypse mode right now because what tactics worked to force their way into highly influential positions in the past suddenly failed when it came to things like, say, a Google conference or even speaking on this non-existent harassment shit Wu claims to be an expert about in front of something tied to the United Nations.

@Jaimas, if it's not too much trouble, do you think you could provide a quick timeline of what we know about how Wu got involved with the events preceding GG and potentially jumping onto the SJW bandwagon as a whole? I think we all could use a refresher after so long as to why we give half a shit about John Walker Flynt in the first place.
 
No worries for you, John, as you're neither liked nor respected.
PS - Nor in tech.
PPS - Nor a woman.
PPPS - You are odd, though.
PPPPS - Where's the game, John?

An exceptionally bad one at that. From what I've seen you have literally no real motivation to join either side, the characters are just obnoxious, and then theres the whole "bullet. Brain. Now <3" message that results in everyone being slaughtered. It's just so poorly done in every way possible.

Gladly!

April, 2014: Brianna Wu appears on a PAX East Panel on Sexism, alongside allies of hers, which is the only way she could get the gig.


June, 2014: Brianna Wu engages in attempts to false-flag herself on 4chan in an attempt to provoke chantards to attack her game, Revolution 60, and use this to bolster popularity in the market. It's unclear why she and Frank Wu thought this would work, beyond the age-old "no such thing as bad publicity" approach.


July, 2014:
Brianna Wu repeatedly is covered by sympathetic media to promote her game, violating journalistic ethics more than a few times. Is covered out of pity by several friends more influential and powerful than she is, such as Leigh Alexander and Ben Kuchera, all whilst pushing her women in tech narrative. Brianna Wu is still a nobody at this point, as evidenced by the wayback machine. Her cozy relationship with these fools means she's able to write long columns stating non-facts like Video Games are inherently sexist. She goes on to attack Adam Baldwin when Gamergate is initially starting to break, accusing him of sending a "mob" of 200K people at her, in a chilling projection of what she would later do to TotalBiscuit.


August, 2014:
Gamergate essentially happens. Brianna Wu, already waist-deep in breaches of ethics, immediately sides with her long-time allies, and, by virtue of being loud, obnoxious, and an opportunist, becomes the self-proclaimed voice of Anti-GG. Her Twitter presence explodes overnight.


September, 2014: Brianna Wu becomes a mainstay against Gamergate by being a sensationalizing bitchass. She actively attempts to provoke and belittle supporters, at which point she claims they are harassing her. She alternates between claiming that Gamergate is nothing but a few dozen misogynerds and them having more money and manpower than the fucking USPS.

She goes on to treat minority and female dissenters like sockpuppets. With no self awareness, she then proceeds to create a sockpuppet account to further antagonize Gamergate supporters. Fittingly, She doesn't abandon her original attempts to gain her game publicity, moving on from blaming 4chan for her initial false-flags to blaming Gamergate.

Derek Smart delivers his first initial warnings to Wu, and points out she's going on a dangerous path. He is accused of mansplaining.


October, 2014: A busy month for Wu, in which she shows that she is neither the hero the Anti-GGers want nor need.

She becomes the head of GamerGhazi, an Anti-GG Reddit Community that practically lionizes Anita Sarkeesian, and she does so solely by being the only Senpai to notice Ghazi. Immediately upon gaining control over it, she appoints her allied stooge, Mattie Myers, to be in charge and run it like she did Susan's Place (I.E. to the detriment of all not named Brianna Wu). Wu gains speaking engagements constantly; her star is on the rise and everything's coming up Wu!

...And then the fuckstorm begins.

Her earlier attempts to blame Revolution 60's failure on attacks by Gamergate fail when Operation FalseFag II is revealed to have come from none other than Frank Wu, and people begin to investigate further. Brianna Wu's attempt to launch an Anti-GG is immediately co-opted and mocked because Wu is unfunny and clearly didn't research the source of her image.

Fortune smiles upon Wu when someone dares to make a death threat against Brianna Wu, marking her, fittingly, as the first time that any Anti has received an actual, in-depth death-threat. Latching onto this for all it's worth, Brianna Wu pretends it's still legit even after Something Awful publicly claims responsibility for it. Brianna Wu claims to have been driven from her home by this threat, and that the police are looking into it, despite the fact that she never actually leaves her home, conducts multiple interviews from it, and is eventually called out for publicizing her own harassment when she appears on the David Pakman show, where she comes across as an unhinged lunatic. This is mere days after getting her skeletal ass handed to her by a parapelegic little person with surprising moxie.

The failtrain has no brakes, and Frank Wu tries to false-flag attacks on Brianna to substantiate the narrative, but he's caught by 8chan operatives and mocked, a-la :stupid:. Brianna Wu blames DICE (an upper-crust Tech firm) of being sexist, but ultimately throws blame at the unrelated DICE Europe LTD, a group of fresh produce importers, who immediately winds up backing Gamergate via the #Gamerfruit tag.

Wu later gets threats from third-party trolls that ultimately go nowhere, and are proven hoaxes even as she says she'll report them to the cops.

Brianna Wu gets another series of messages from Derek Smart, who desperately warns her about what she's doing - she's rapidly depleting her own credibility at an alarming rate and is gradually wearing down the most steadfast of supporters, who are starting to see that she's a charlatan. Smart correctly warns her about what will happen if she doesn't stop being a sensationalizing fool. For his efforts, he is again accused of mansplaining. His warnings would ultimately prove prophetic.


November, 2014: Smart cuts off conversation when Wu acts like a dick.


Brianna Wu milks a national tragedy and makes it all about her.

Kiwi Farms coverage of Brianna Wu begins. Brianna Wu is deemed a suitable lolcow.

The games begin.


December, 2014: Brianna Wu triggers the Crash Incident, in which she is revealed to bhe a terrible pet owner.

The Glorious, long-running bit of insanity that is the Jace Connors incident begins, in which Brianna Wu attempts to make the case that Commander Stryker presents a clear and present danger to her life. Yes, Really. Null tries to run some level of damage control, only for Wu to prove to be a certified mental-case and be in it solely to milk Jace and Tyce for attention.

Ultimately, Jan Rankowski pulls the plug on Deagle Nation, and Brianna Wu looks like the biggest idiot in Anti-GG. Not even Margaret Pless is able to convince Antis that Jace is a threat to Brianna Wu's life. Ghazi openly revolts, only to suffer mass bannings due to Wu and Myers being in charge of the Subreddit and not allowing wrongthink.


Stay tuned for next time, when I give another eight.
