This is very easily fixed - don't pre-order games.

Problem solved. Now you can wait two weeks to let the suckers who did pre-order tell you if it's good or not. It doesn't matter what the publisher tries to do to slow down the reviews, since in that case the reviewers can just get a retail copy and review without interference.

The moral here is to not be a sucker by pre-ordering.

So GamerGate is now Occupy, where it's about absolutely everything (even things that have been already an issue for years) and is thus about nothing at all?

Gotcha.

There was 145 billion of them sent last year, so the answer is probably "lots of people".

And it's cute how you're being led around by the nose thinking that the "journalistic ethics" in question are actually a thing, when that campaign is bullshit being used as cover by the trolls for their real goal.

Hint - when you make up bullshit about your ex-girlfriend, that's the opposite of "ethics".

If by "revealed she slept with reviewers", you really mean "had some bullshit made up by her ex-boyfriend that was taken as truth by a bunch of total fucking morons", then yeah, that's pretty much what happened.

One of the people they said she slept with to get reviews, didn't even review the game. But hey, this is about "ethics". Facts and truth have no place in a mob running around screaming "ethics!!!!"

It's pretty amazing how this "movement" can be so many things, have no clear goals, no leadership, no objective, and is somehow magically immune from responsibility for everything people do in it's name.

Sorry, but no. GamerGate is total bullshit, founded on already disproven lies and mysognistic assholes. If you're in for that, you are what's wrong with society.

Where I live, I still get to drive home in the dark. Only now I also get to drive *to* work in the dark.

Yay!

It's an utterly pointless exercise here. We only do it because of inertia.

Someone who has to currently buy their natural gas from Russia, which tends to carry some conditions along with it.

If their QA is anything like game developer QA, they found all the problems and management decided that the ship date was more important.

Umm, you do know that all that stuff about the woman you won't name was made up by her ex-boyfriend, right?

Now there's a credible source of "journalism" if I ever heard one!

Gamergate is a smear campaign based entirely on lies and bullshit, used as a shield to protect a bunch of people who really don't like the woman behind those Feminist Frequency videos. Nothing more.

The issue is *really* a bunch of morons on 4chan starting a "movement" to discredit people, on the basis of some flagrant lies made up by the ex-boyfriend of a developer.

This thing is so stupid that even *Cracked* has shown that it's total bullshit from top to bottom.

I put it on my iPad 3 and it's noticeably slower. The big thing I'm seeing now that I never saw before is typing lag. That is annoying. I've also seen extra delay in some cases with the screen realizing it needs to rotate, and a bug in one specific app with keys on the keyboard disappearing entirely. On the performance end it's not that impressive in any way.

That said, having extensions in Safari has been nice, keyboard swapping is handy, and the family sharing feature is really great. So I'm not going to be rushing to roll it back, but I really don't understand how simple things like typing could get so much slower on the same hardware.

Well, he's got a promising career in the NFL then.

This has nothing to do with open source at all. An organization closed down a unit, and got rid of some projects. That happens pretty much every day in the private sector and in the closed source world. What makes open source special in this regard. Do you expect them to keep supporting things forever even when the organization doesn't want to anymore?

The only difference is that with open source, someone could take that code and keep working on it, if they wanted to. That's it. The rest of this has nothing to do with open source at all and is just a flagrant attempt at drumming up controversy by asking a bullshit question in the headline.
