I’ve been debating doing this for ages now and finally decided that it is time. As it says in the ‘about me’ section, I do not work for any of the game companies. In these posts I am not speaking for my company. That’s why I’m not using either of the names that everyone knows me by (my real life name or my usual online name). Not because I’m trying to hide who I am, but to make it absolutely crystal clear that I am speaking completely for myself here, expressing my own personal opinion about things.
For 10 years now I’ve always very carefully tried not to say anything that might possibly upset people, tried to avoid getting into ‘political’ discussions. I’ve attempted to keep my opinion about various topics out of how I run things. I like to think that I’ve done a pretty good job of walking that fine line between upholding our rules yet still trying to allow people to express their feelings when they don’t agree with each other and/or with various situations or policies. Trying to remain ‘neutral’ and ‘professional’ can be hard some days, though.
All of that said, I’ve decide that it’s time to finally post about some of these things, on a personal level. This is me giving myself permission to have, and voice, an opinion (since I’m the only one who ever said I couldn’t).
I may not work for the game companies, but I have been around here for 10 plus years now. Maybe I flatter myself, but I would like to think that I have some knowledge and that perhaps something I say might actually be worth reading.
There probably won’t be many posts put up here. And the chances are that the ones that are posted will fall under the category of ‘rants’, since I have to feel pretty passionate about something before I’ll actually comment on it. There aren’t going to be a lot of pretty pictures up here. There’s likely going to be nothing more than massive walls of text alternating with extended periods of time during which there’s nothing posted at all. You've been warned. ;)
Yeah, so … here goes, I guess. :)
