I wanted to know if he would have a conversation, and he said yes.

But I figured in the name of journalism and fair-mindedness that I should embrace the notion that you should seek out someoneвЂ™s point of view even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. I did an interview with this wider context in an interview with Seth at Tasty Loot Gaming, who had his own reaction video вЂњroastingвЂќ my gameplay.

Divided gamers and game journalistsДЄfter these angry videos started appearing, I started reaching out, and luckily one person responded. These stories were published at the same time as the video was, but most people came into this directly from YouTube. And I also wrote a hands-on description of my gameplay session. I wrote two stories that included an interview with id SoftwareвЂ™s Hugo Martin, creative director of the game. There was some context for this video, but it just wasnвЂ™t linked in the video. They feel it isnвЂ™t good enough, even if they have fun, and so they donвЂ™t dare share it with all of those angry people out there.

This treatment is why so many people come to me and say that they are too ashamed to share their gameplay on the internet. My video was meant to show off how you solve a puzzle, and yet it gained this greater significance. So my poor context-less YouTube gameplay was just more bait - unintentional on my part - for these folks to ridicule me again. In each of those instances, the fan outrage was so bad I was getting death threats and a lot of people on the internet felt it was perfectly OK to be mean to me or make fun of me. They may have been fed up with me over various gaming foibles of the past, like when I called on developers to cut the gritty stuff out of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (and then later changed my mind when I actually finished the game), or when I had trouble getting through the tutorial and first level of Cuphead. How naive of me to fall into their clutches yet again. It reminded me of writer Ian SherrвЂ™s story on CNET about angry gaming YouTubers вЂњ who turn outrage into views.вЂќ Some YouTubers expressed their outrage without ever trying to solicit my point of view. But that gave other people - with their own agendas - more freedom to define what they thought this was all about: more proof that game journalists are incompetent at their jobs.

I didnвЂ™t think it was important to link and to include a full description. I originally inserted this video into two stories that I wrote, but I didnвЂ™t link to them from within the video. MetaBeat will bring together metaverse thought leaders to give guidance on how metaverse technology will transform the way all industries communicate and do business on October 3-4 in San Francisco, CA. But I used this incident to bridge that gulf, and it made me feel better.

(Someone else kindly grabbed the video from the Internet archive and reposted it.) Sometimes I scratch my head and wonder why this matters to anyone, but in some circles, it has become emblematic of the gulf between game journalists and gamers. To defuse and cool down the social media storm, I took the video down and thought about how I could explain myself to gamers who have become quite familiar with my unskilled gameplay. In this video, it took me too long to figure out the path to escape to the next level, and it left people wondering if I was trolling them.
