      if you, too, wish to go to the places where botflies and pondscum gather and to retch at their existence, here's one of the KiA posts about it. It's tagged "drama" and treated as simple personal beef between the objects of the gamers' exaltation or loathing because their video game-warped peanut brains quite literally cannot conceive that anyone anywhere might have problems more important than not getting unanimous societal approval to jerk it to Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball.

      They do seem kinda ripe for a unionization effort. Hopefully this leads to that.

        They removed all comments and disabled them on the post after lots of comments mentioned they need to unionise. :soviet-hmm:

          I didn't check the comments, but are you sure there want anti-Palestinian stuff in the comments?

    Gamers rise up?????
    In seriousness, good on them for calling corporate out on their bullshit. It helps illustrate for the libs that this shit happens everywhere

      the writers and editors hold all the cards though. ign doesn't provide a service beyond editorials and reviews.

      IGN has built up a pretty great team on and off camera the last 5 years. It's already stupid that they did this in the first place, if they throw away that talent, what a waste.

      It is management though. Leave it to them to shoot themselves in the dick.

    That's awesome, glad to hear people aren't going to take it sitting down.
