Fucking hell. Quick GAF, assemble

Saw this was announced and immediately thought it was gross. I don't understand how anyone would look at this and not think that.
 
I will not be buying his book. I do not trust anything he says. I bet his story has some truths in it, but it will be so one-sided that I simply have no interest.

He is a jackass and represents everything wrong with journalism.
 
Yeah, no. Fuck this asshole. Dude was salty as fuck when the whole shit about Blizzard got revealed without him. Now he's making money again out of it. The guy is not interested in the slightest to actually better the industry and its practices, he's just interested in drama and how it can generate money for him. Dude is disingenuous to the max.

Also, Jason, I know you're reading GAF: You've said a year ago that Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster/Remake "is coming". Where is it?
 
Dude is a blowhard. He jumps on bandwagon headlines and acts like he's the arbiter of the news. Really wish he would not be highlighted as much as he is
 
Anyone feel like this dude has probably single handedly made games worse?

Feels like the bugginess and lack of polish has only gone up since crunching became a negative
 
does he really have that big of a following? I just see a pathetic loser trying to get as much attention as possible with click bait tweets.
 
Branching out into branded toilet paper now, eh, Scheier? Oh how the mighty have fallen. This is gonna be the Schindler's List of Kotaku articles bloated like a corpse found in the harbor after a week and turned into a novel. You like my run on sentence, Mister Author?!?!

Edit: Schreier *
Didn't want to appear unhinged with poor grammar.

I don't get all the hate. His first book (which is the only one I've read from him) gave great insight into, for instance, the development of Star Wars 1313, which I found deeply fascinating and I'm grateful for.
 
Some embarassing responses to this guy in the thread. "Responsible for making gaming worse" - yeah no, a prick with a clear agenda and some bullshit tweets that isn't actually making games isn't responsible for the state of shitty game releases because developers feel like they can't "crunch." The fudge?

Agreed. Who cares who is delivering the message if the story is one that should be told. Like this:

Is he still in the closet or did he finally embrace his sexuality?

. . .is fucking ridiculous.
