Oh they have plenty of influence. Influenced me right out of the hobby for the most part. That and if I buy any games it’s not something they cover.

I still feel the gaming press is controlling and manipulating games to be made to pander as much as possible and has a scary control over game developers. So we're not out of the woods yet. Not even close.

In that entire article they talked repeatedly about what was put into the game and what it had but no where did it actually say what the game is.

Pirated it, gave it a try. Quickly deleted it.

It passes off as a "game" by SJW standards.

So basically it has no gameplay elements, you just travel and hear stories and are involved in minimal interaction.

These SJW types are doing their best to reinvent gaming without the gaming component. It is satisfactory to see this shit fail.

At the end of the day, he made a game which had no audience and it failed to sell. That's really just normal in any form of media. If you put a ton of time and effort into a super niche idea that you can't sell people on, its likely to fail. Nothing's really news worthy about these complaints, especially as even many well regarded games rated well by media outlets when people respected them more didn't sell (see Okami, Psychonauts, etc).

i honestly wouldn't buy a game from this guy and not just because of the controversy surrounding home alone. i honestly feel like they were intentionally misleading in the way they advertised it.

before any controversy occurred i remember the impression i had of home alone from reviews and advertising was that it was some kind of spooky mystery game. i was thinking it was like alone in the dark or something. i decided not to buy it because, frankly, i never really liked point and click games. lucky for me as the game was nothing like the impression i got from the press i heard about it. add that to the way the gaming press hyped it and pilloried anyone who dared dislike it and you have a perfect storm of no fucking way am i going to support this guy.

too bad for this poor sap the kind of people who demand gaming be more like home alone don't buy games and aren't into gaming in the first place.
