Support NeoGAF

[JHall]

Hey, do you realize what kind of a steady hand it takes to be able to screencap those tweets while reading their nonsense?

You're a brave man.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Sounds like Egde is jelous that NeoGaf is better at games jounalism.

 

[Savitar]

I like to think of this place as what GIA would have been if their forums had continued.

Plus I like video games, weird I know.

 

[aggro crag]

I like Edge magazine quite a bit. But the gaming press should take some credit/blame for Orth getting fired. Tons of popular gaming news sites and blog ran with this story.

 

[SmokyDave]

Huh. I might check this NeoGAF place out. Sounds interesting.

 

[Shalashaska161]

I respect that guy for not selling it.

But part of me wonders if ten years down the line he might look back and say "Shit, I wish I took those offers".

The site has continued to grow and articles like this only serve to make it bigger. He will get even bigger cheques later on if he ever wants to sell.

 

[Dennis]

What happened to the GameTrailers NeoGAF thing?

When will it air?

 

[Thorgal]

WE FAMOUS NOW!!!!

 

[CosmicQueso]

Leakers are less afraid of governments than breaking a videogame company's NDA.

You've never seen some of those NDAs. Plus, you break one and you never work in games again. It's a small, small world.

 

[Loxley]

idk, A EA ran gaf has potential.

I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

At least GAF doesn't allow other publication's work to be stolen and promoted here. Edge takes page clicks from GI scans.

 

[KojiKnight]

As is mentioned in the article itself, Gaf's importance is likely to go up over the years, not down. EvilLore can probably sit on gaf for another decade and still sell it later for a lot of money if that's his ultimate final desire.


I don't think this site would work nearly as well without him working essentially full time on it.

 

[slightconfuse]

Started from the bottom now we here

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Group Hug Everyone

 

[antitrop]

This article, more than anything, reminds me how great Evilore has been in shaping the forum as it is today. He truly cares.

He definitely represented himself and the forum well in his comments.

 

[SovanJedi]

EviLore never asked if he could come stay over at my house when he came to visit Europe! We could've stayed up and watched great films like Manos and Howard the Duck.

 

[Coxy]

I guess I shouldnt be surprised they left out doritogate when talking about corruption and how much it totally doesnt exist

 

[Kimawolf]

idk, A EA ran gaf has potential.

I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

Ha no no.. imagine a Nintendo ran GAF moderated by the staff who moderates MiiVerse...

 

[EdibleExplosives]

What a coincidence! This site is also called neogaf!

Edit: Holy fuck that previous gif was huge.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Dyack got what was coming to him. His attention whoring came back to bite him in the ass.

This article treats him like a victim

 

[Epcott]

GAF: A wretched hive of scum and villainy aka everyday gamers <3

 

[gaming_noob]

Wouldn't be surprised if NeoGaf is the anonymous group's next target.

 

[Raptor]

Evilore will be starting to sign autographs soon

 

[Little Old Man]

Once I started lurking GAF my visits to gaming news websites plummeted, given that the gaming side is such a fantastic aggregation service of news and rumours (and of course creates the news sometimes). That itself is probably this forums biggest achievement.

 

[devious.one]

This article feels so forced.

 

[Wario64]

Wouldn't be surprised if NeoGaf is the anonymous group's next target.

Why?

 

[TL4E]

He is now 28, and tells us that he has turned down seven-figure offers from large corporations and gaming networks to buy his site

Maaaaan, fuck that, Evilore, I would have taken that money

Mad props for not selling out. That takes principle.

 

[Alebrije]

Huh. I might check this NeoGAF place out. Sounds interesting.

Dude beware, they are so hardcore that even Chuck Norris run away from them, rumor says they are harder than hardcore....

 

[ViewtifulJC]

PXG why are you humping our dread lord and master

GAF isn't that hardcore, at least relative to its population. I don't think the "hardcore" gamers are the ones obsessed with the daily life and eating habits of Polygon writers.

Polygon writers are holding back this industry from achieving artistic greatness, Riposte. Saving screencaps of their scores is of the utmost importance

 

[Secks4Food]

GAF->EDGE->GAF

 

[Dennis]

This article feels so forced.

Why?

 

[lupinko]

I gave this Edge article a 6.

 

[BigDes]

Never even heard of this neongaf place

 

[Hot Coldman]

Hey, do you realize what kind of a steady hand it takes to be able to screencap those tweets while reading their nonsense?

OK, I apologise. I was wrong to disrespect your obvious skill.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

lock the doors boys.. they are coming..

 

[zroid]

I can't believe he said "natch"

ew

 

[Sephiroth503]

Evilore will be starting to sign autographs soon

If he replies to one of your posts that's like an autograph in a sense....

 

[Riposte]

Mad props for not selling out. That takes principle.

Or patience, when he is offered an eight digit figure.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

It's amazing that guys like Jaffe and Cliffy B have managed to stay here for years without imploding their careers. Or maybe they have the perspective that if you're in entertainment and in the internet, you have to have thick skin.

VG companies need to have clear social media policies. In the case of Dyack, where it's the CEO shooting his mouth off, they need a dedicated PR team so no one takes this shit too personally. Dennis' constant teasing and release of underwhelming PR demos did not help ED or Too Human in the long run.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

I wonder how would it turn out if a corporation takes over NeoGAF. If it turned out bad, props to Malka for turning it down

NeoGAF: A News Corporation Company

 

[Usobuko]

I respect that guy for not selling it.

But part of me wonders if ten years down the line he might look back and say "Shit, I wish I took those offers".

Not that I think its his intention but that will be equivalent to pulling a Roy Raymond?

 

[Einbroch]

Wouldn't be surprised if NeoGaf is the anonymous group's next target.

Why would it be? The views of a majority of users on both sites align on a lot of things. Some just take it to the extreme.

 

[RoKKeR]

Wouldn't be surprised if NeoGaf is the anonymous group's next target.

...what?

 

[Revven]

Evilore deserves a better image! He's not classy enough in that picture they used.

Other than that, no way was it all of GAF that got Orth out of a job. If it never got outside of GAF like it did, Orth would have been fine.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

GAF is famous!

 

[Always-honest]

Nice, will click.

 

[LiK]

I just like to waste my time here during work. But it appears we can create or destroy lives at whim.

 

[Kallor]

idk, A EA ran gaf has potential.

I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

'"Post pack Medium: Post 20 times" $1.99'

 

[Persona86]

Seven Figures.....

Can he actually make money from this site? Maybe the ads are enough to pay for server?

I have no idea lol.

You have to wonder what someone's agenda is, if they are willing to pay seven figures.

 

[TimeEffect]

Sounds like Egde is jelous that NeoGaf is better at games jounalism.

They can't dealwithit
