I'll copy Bonegolem's post:

IGN journos covering a former colleague

Seth Macy — Cronyism - Covered video games studio Motive without disclosing that Mitch Dyer, a writer for Motive, had previously worked at IGN for a period of time which overlaps with Macy’s.

Alex Osborn — Cronyism - Covered video game studio Motive without disclosing that Mitch Dyer, who is a writer for Motive, previously worked at IGN for a period of time which overlaps Osborn’s.

Andrew Goldfarb — amended Cronyism - Covered gaming studio Motive (also a very small mention), originally without disclsoing that Mitch Dyer, a writer for Motive, worked at IGN for a period of time which overalps with Goldfarb’s—they also appear to be on friendly terms. As soon as Goldfarb was informed, he immediately added a very exaustive disclosure to the article, explaining that the oversight was caused by Dyer’s then-recent change of employment.

Critical Distance and Ben Kuchera

Kris Ligman — Corruption - Critical Distance plugs Ben Kuchera at least once—without disclosing that he was donating to their Patreon for what is apparently an “extraordinary” amount.

Ben Kuchera — Trivia - Was on the receiving end of a financial conflict of interest with Critical Distance, which gave him a plug while he was donating to their Patreon what appears to be an extraordinary amount.

Jason Schreier vs. Trendy Entertainment

Looks like Bonegolem added an entry based on that article from Fart - I really hope he exhaustively verified everything in it himself.


Jonathan Holmes and Axiom Verge

Covered Axiom Verge on two occasions without disclosing that the game’s creator Tom Happ had backed the Kickstarter campaign for his webseries Sup, Holmes? for an undisclosed amount. Disclosure was likewise not included in the video interview embedded in the first article. Stated the Kickstarter money didn’t go through him when asked about the Kickstarter previously, and reiterated it when informed about this specific instance, stating he wasn’t aware.

Will she be supplying the milk?

Today the following was written

Am I broken or is the world? Will it be over soon?

You're pathetic.
You lose because you care about them in the first place. Don't get it do you?
This is why everyone laughs at you.

It is important to hear what they say, but not for the same reasons they think it is. If you hear their ideas, you can better rip them apart without doing it blindly. The expose vullshit to spotlight not darkness and whatnot.

I'm torn between telling you to keep posting so I can consume all that delicious salt of yours and filtering you. Choices, choices.

Hey look

a retard who's saying shit contrary to reality

let's either laugh at him and make him the new (200) or ignore him
