    freeze-gamergaters won’t stop until games journalism is great again, like it was in the 90s when Rise of the Robots got game of the year awards before anyone could even play it… and it was utter and complete trash. Oh and “booth babes” were everywhere and advertisements sometimes forgot to show the fucking game because a centerfold of a le naked feeemale is all that the hogs required to buy in (if you don’t believe me, look up “Forsaken’s” centerfold ad. It was in magazines I owned back then).

        I didn’t know either because the game wasn’t advertised as anything but awooga and saying “Descent but not as smooth or polished with a lot more colored lighting” wouldn’t have attracted the hogs, I guess.
