The Internet Talks Jennifer Hepler, BioWare, and Gamer Entitlement
There have been a number of articles, all overwhelmingly in support of BioWare and Jennifer Hepler, since this situation blew up on the weekend. I’ve listed some of the notable ones below.
Forbes - The Changing Face of Games: Feeling Angry and Ignored, Fans Look for Someone to Blame
Gamespot - The Dangers of Gamer Entitlement
FemPop - Creepy Internet Stalkers Harass Female Video Game Designer for Months
zConnection - When The Internet Fought Jennifer Hepler
The Mary Sue - Inclusion: What Jennifer Hepler’s Story is All About
Atomic - This is why gamers can’t have nice things - the Jennifer Hepler ‘debate’
Kotaku Australia - BioWare Writer Describes Her Gaming Tastes; Angry Gamers Call Her A ‘Cancer’
Destructoid - BioWare writer’s vagina versus the Internet
I like how “opening games to a wider market” leads the Straight White Male Gamer to “feel angry and ignored”. Because if something is not 100% solely catered to THEIR interests then it’s omg politically correct and IGNORING THEM
What they don’t understand is that not catering to their every whim would not equal something boring/stupid/unpleasant. They could still enjoy the hell out of what they were playing.
It boggles me that so many people were not taught the lessons of sharing.
I hate to break it to them, but if other people in their clubhouse wanting better games is a problem, then I have been ruining their fun for well over a decade now. I’m in ur vidyagames, ruining ur 100% catering.
