So... what happened? What "incident"? I wasn't even aware there was a problem of any sort until I noticed this thread in the active topics box thing on the right.
That's what I'm saying though, a lot of us had no idea this would happen. I still don't know what the situation is that everyone in this thread seems to be assuming everyone else knwos about already.Ulquiorra4sama said:We all knew this would happen. I'm just surprised it didn't happen until now.
Well, it was pretty huge back when the story was still new.Errickfoxy said:That's what I'm saying though, a lot of us had no idea this would happen.

Ah, it must have been on the forums then, I don't really read them much myself, I just watch the videos and occasionally click a thread on that active box if I notice it and it sounds relevant or interesting to me.Ulquiorra4sama said:Well, it was pretty huge back when the story was still new.Errickfoxy said:That's what I'm saying though, a lot of us had no idea this would happen.

I imagine you would still be able to find the story on here if they haven't locked down any and all threads relating to the incident. It did kinda make monsters of the people at the Escapist.
It was spread via other websites and such until it finally hit the escapist forums. I imagine the leaders here wanted to hush it down on the site since, like i said, it made monsters of them, so obviously they weren't going to reveal the full story themselves. We all(probably) think it's sad things went down the way they did, but from where EC was standing i'd say they did the reasonable thing.Errickfoxy said:Ah, it must have been on the forums then, I don't really read them much myself, I just watch the videos and occasionally click a thread on that active box if I notice it and it sounds relevant or interesting to me.Ulquiorra4sama said:Well, it was pretty huge back when the story was still new.Errickfoxy said:That's what I'm saying though, a lot of us had no idea this would happen.

I don't understand why you're mad about people who want gaming to be a deep form of artistic expression, I believe that games as a medium can tell a story better than any other media. Do you want games to be forever stemmed in public conscious as "A frivolous plaything" or would you rather see it as a respected for of expression on par with music and film?SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Thank god, I hated that fucking series. Worse than Game Dogs. Game Dogs was just unfunny, while EC was just wrong and stuck up more often than not. I stumbled upon Jim Sterlings twitter today and he was apparently at the airport, and incredibly aggravated by a group near him who were clearly these artsy gamer types (he quoted one of them as saying "What is the essence of a game?"). I wondered briefly if these were the extra credits guys.
Jesus, I hated them. Not to take anything away from people who liked the series though, although how anyone could will probably evade me for a long time to come.
I'm surprised you managed to avoid it so far. The day it happened, the escapist exploded with traffic and lag because everyone was coming to the forums to talk about it and spread the news.Errickfoxy said:So... what happened? What "incident"?
