AHEM: "Please follow these unwritten rules of engagement that your superiors likely never told you about prior to your employment and please enforce these ethics that are only relevant to my demands."
"They don't have any ethics!" Yes, indeed, it appears they don't match the elitist "Way of the Journalist" as passed down through unenforced codes and statutes that are not legally enforced or applicable.
However, how about I post a little irony in GG's "Ethics Class"? For a while I had a link to the problems of the Robots.txt bullshit in my siggy on here. For those unfamiliar, Robots.txt is something that prevents "spiders"/bots from crawling through webpages that don't want you to. Ethically, this means that archive.today is essentially "stealing" web content from sites when the Robots.txt was originally put in place to prevent you from doing this. Yet, what is it that everyone seems to enjoy using in GG8chan Realm? See, ignoring the Robots.txt is not openly mentioned by archive.today, which is why archive.org still has numerous sites not accessible through its, "We care about archiving sites, except when there's a Robots.txt file." type of "ethics".
I don't know why I'm in the mood for this, but let's just try to wrap some s**t around this.

Check this:
"I don't care who Zoe Quinn slept with. I don't need to know who, and I don't have a right to know. That's not my business.
However
If you're review the game of someone you slept with, you should acknowledge it. You don't have to say you had sex, don't need to tell people what positions or any of that. Just say "Full disclosure: I have a previous romantic relationship with Zoe Quinn." That's it. Hell I would be satisfied with "I have a very close personal relationship with Zoe Quinn.""
Translation: "I don't need or have the right to know, but I want you to tell me you did. It would be satisfying, but it's not my business."
It currently has 7 upvotes for this ******** s**t. If you claim you don't have the right to know, like anyone should even care, then stop making gigantic threads demanding them to reveal their info to you.
"Like, I totally don't need to know, but could you publicly acknowledge your relationship status and tell us all who you're dating?" You gaiz are like paparazzi for TMZ, following every e-celeb you find until they give you an autograph and a photo-op so you could tell everyone, "See, celebrities are just like real people, too!"
"Which Game Journalist Slept With Who? Find Out At Eleven."
Fangirlz: "Ooh, tell me nao! I can't wait for the next issue of People Magazine!"
I'm going to quote Wiki-Wiki's own page on Journalism Ethics for you gaiz. Now then, breathe deep, cuz it's pwnage tiem:
"Like many broader ethical systems, journalism ethics include the principle of "limitation of harm." This often involves the withholding of certain details from reports such as the names of minor children, crime victims' names or information not materially related to particular news reports release of which might, for example, harm someone's reputation."
Plz try to argue out of this, I dare you.
The beef of this is the image and the posts from some infintekun user. So, apparently some Grayson dude playtested the game and is being shat upon. I still haven't played Depression Quest and most likely won't, but this is the most brain-dead reason for targeting someone. "Don't review a game for personal reasons or being in the same social clique." Let me visualize the stupidity.
If you've ever been included in the alpha/beta, Early Access and/or were those who participated in the crowdfunding of Starbound who were included in the credits for their contributions and bug reports, with which the devs have thanked you for, this is incredibly important, Do Not Review The Game. If you do, you are the evidence of corruption.
Just take a look at the retardation in that image. Go right ahead. This is ******** brain damage of the highest caliber.
Do you know how many freeware gaemz and hacks out there where those who beta-tested and sent bug reports were put in "Special Thanks" credits and Read-Me's? Some spoke positively about the game on other forums. It's like some giganto conspiracy to these imbeciles that's going to break the planet. Oh, but this is different, cuz he has to accept the orders of the Ethics Dictators, lest he be fired, right? Such Scandal. Much Ethical. Wow.
Ethics of the Story: Don't ever attempt to get put on Steam with your freeware... or anything. Steam-Powered Drones will flock after you like cucks in the wind.
Do not sleep with your coworkers, your secretary, your clients or your boss or else the ethics police are comin' for ya. "We" have evidence for your lack of ethics.
