So I've been playing Zoe's "games"...

Show us on the doll where the gaming press touched you.

Obviously you're psychic and know what the entirety of the the gaming press believes, supports, and and what its motivations are.

Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome, I quite enjoy giving my opinion as well as defending my own statements. And your correct, I don't know exactly what people are thinking and what their motivations are, I can only state several thesis and draw my own conclusions from them.

It would be excellent and probably beneficial for everyone however if you wanted to have a go at offering alternative thesis instead of launch ad-hominim attacks against people who are attempting to offer honest opinions.

Here's my theory. The gaming press isn't a hive mind like you implied.

First of all, I agree with that. Secondly, that's entirely not related to any of the thesis that I put forward. It's entirely possible for each one to be true, or not true, on a case by case basis.

Edit: Although your comment did give me an idea for one that I hadn't considered before. I'll go update the original post to add it.

Who cares? Does it matter what you (or anyone else) thinks of her games. Nothing defeats the point that she's been unfairly targeted by the gaming press and the whole thing has gone insanely overboard. What we all need to do is stop talking about this and move on to actually talking about games.

You don't have to enter a thread where people are talking about a specific issue you don't want to talk about to tell them to not talk about it. I know "Stop liking what I don't like" is a big issue with a lot of people, but it's not a valid case for argument or even much of an opinion worth merit.

Daniel Hardcastle (Nerd Cubed) actually did a post about why Depression Quest fails. I recommend you read it; it's certainly interesting. It makes a lot of points about why it can't really show what depression is.
