The Gamer to stop covering Activision and Blizzard games

[Messofanego]

Kirk McKeand (The Gamer EIC): "We're going to stop covering Activision and Blizzard games until there's some real change and this gaslighting bollocks ends. We'll cover the ongoing news regarding the current story, but we won't be covering the games."

That's how you use your platform!

Era can do the same, to not allow hype or promotional threads for Activision, Blizzard, Ubisoft, and Insomniac games and have disclaimers in news threads throughout until their sexual harassment and abusive culture is fixed. AliceAmber Cerium B-Dubs Nepenthe

I agree that we need to do the same thing here.

The Gamer, GameXplain & other sites are suspending all coverage of Activision Blizzard until work culture demonstrably improves

If big websites start doing this too, it could actually pressure Activision into changing if being sued wasn't already enough.

I agree that we should also be doing this very same thing on the forum. We should not allow threads for games from these companies, coverage, etc. until the industry goes through large scale reform and we quit enabling them to pretend that this shit doesn't happen.

Yes, this will be a political decision to do so and yes, everything is political. Don't for a second think that you don't need to miss me with that shit.
