Clarifying the "game devs" in question. Are they game devs and... #GamerGate

Clarifying the "game devs" in question. Are they game devs and are they really against harassment?



I am going to go through and list every game dev that has said something harassing, supports harassment, or who isn't a game dev. After that, we'll count and see how many support haras

For this list, I will only be using their definition for harassment and not my own.



This is only the "A" section of the list. I will continue on to "B" later on.



1.Aaron Isaksen (Indie Fund, AppAbove Games) - his twitter: https://twitter.com/aireye has him retweeting a post calling gamers "...a bunch of misogynists" for boycotting certain companies



2.Aaron Starks (Independent) - not a single name under this guy's name.sment or are not game devs.



3.Adam Axbey (A dB of Difference) - http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,549641/ as you can see here, he's developed no games, as he worked in different parts of gaming and not the development itself, unless we count the tester gig for 2 games.



4. Adam Fletcher (Robot Entertainment) - http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,479586/ What a list of games. Too bad he's listed for all but developing. A producer wants to speak about harassment. Great.



5.Adam Grant (Independent) - didn't find one involved with games via google or mobygames. Did find this https://twitter.com/AdamMGrant Guess what this Adam likes to talk about? Gender bias.



5-5.Adam Green (Assyria Game Studio Ltd) - he actually has a game to his name and several under his company. So then he's for harassment? If you believe silencing people is harassment. https://twitter.com/AssyriaAdam you can see he and kotaku like it when people don't have a voice because they are being mean. He also shared Rock Paper Shotguns ad on twitter for hire. This is an honorable mention, because he seems nice enough and it doesn't seem like he's harassed anyone directly. Would like to know if he has.



6.Adam Jenkins (University of South Australia) - http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,449815/ Motion capture is NOT GAME DEVELOPMENT.

*.Adam Orth (Three One Zero) - http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,113327/ he's credited for a lot of games, but his website shows only 1, that hasn't been finished yet. "honorable" mention.



7.Adam Saltsman (Finji) - has made several games and was more than willing to "harass" Totalbiscuit several months ago. He apologized and said he was just trying to bait him. Obviously, that somehow makes it right, Adam. https://twitter.com/ADAMATOMIC



8.Adam Ziegler (Zero Hour Productions) - http://www.mobygames.com/game/n64/madden-nfl-99/credits credited as a tester for one game with a website that has no developed games on it.

*.Adrian Crook (Adrian Crook & Associates) - If you go to his website you'd see he's credited himself for these games: http://adriancrook.com/category/our-work/all/ but if you take a look at his mobygames page, it's a completely different list http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,27700/ and his twitter https://twitter.com/adriancrook This guy is fishy, but I can't find, right now, anything so honorable mention.

16.Alan Yeoh (Nonstop Games) - nonstop games is affiliated with King. King is known for harassing indie devs through the use of copyrights.

26.Alex Thompson (80P Gaming) - Based on his "company" I doubt this is even him http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,76693/ but none of those positions are one for game development. How hard should that be to understand?

So this is all of the "A"s in the 600 dev letter.



69 out of 109 names are either not developers or promote harassment.



That is over half the number



and many that I left in, made 1 game, or something just slightly contributed to a game. If the bar is set so low, then we are all game devs. Every single one of us. And there are more of us then there are of them, so their bigoted letter is meaningless. They lose. Game over SJWs, game over.
