Frankly, I'm impressed that this whole thing made it into the Times, and that the Times didn't make the gamers look like assholes. In fact, they portrayed the actions of the Amazon flamers as exactly what they were intended to be.

Well played EA, Cooper Lawrence haters, New York Times, and even Cooper Lawrence, first for retracting her statements and secondly for granting this opportunity for video games to put some points on the board.

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
