I feel like my avatar has gained a whole new life.
Seconded; someone who is a consistent voice on setting standards and not afraid to hold others - and himself - to standards, whether you agree with his takes or not.

User Banned (1 week): antagonizing other posters
Sorry to say but isn't this the same Jason Schreier who choose to be silent and didnt even report Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Google and many other companies benefiting from literal slaves taken from Concentration Camps named as "re-education camps" in China, despite being notified many times!?
To be called journalist requires courage and big responsibility. Being dead silent and looking away a gaming related human rights violation; concentration camps providing slave labour, for whatever reason, rips away the name journalist from his badge sorry to say.
I would not join "pat on the back circle" after the fact he failed a big time about most important part of the profession by refusing to report slave labour from concentration camps based on racism and islamophobia.
However good luck on book sales and PR reporting.

I don't know if he's a genius, but I do know that he needs an editor.
Hah, yeah. I like a lot of Tim's stuff but it's often self indulgent to the point that I can't finish it.
Jason has written some of the best and most important articles about the gaming industry I have ever read. He has helped push discussion about how workers in the industry are treated into the spotlight. I absolutely wish him the best on this new venture, and look forward to reading what he puts out next.
But why do you think he avoid reporting slave labour and concentration camps? Does that because that does not involve "workers"?

Nope, I'm asking the source where Jason was "Being dead silent and looking away" and also actively "choosing" to be silent on this.

But this says the complete opposite of what the other poster is claiming.

It was recommended that I cross post this from EtcetEra for awareness, particularly as we move towards a new generation of consoles. Letting people make informed decisions about where they're willing to put their money is the best thing anyone can do here. Here's the latest on the various...

Many posters including I, informed him about the report and there was an empty "promise" or more like a respond. A poster from the thread says that they got a respond from Jason and a month later; zero coverage or mention.
So get this, you are a claimed gaming "journalist". BBC reports that literal slave labour from China's concentration camps provides for gaming giants, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Google. The thread about the report gets pinned on a gaming site you are promoted and a member of. People alert you because, again, you are constantly promoted in the forum, so much so that sounds like you are the only gaming "journalist" that exist. So people trust you to report one of the biggest news and that's why they alert you.
And you... don't... report... slave... labour... from... concentration... camps. Camps that got people killed, organ harvested, tortured, raped and prisoned based on race and religion.
And you don't report.
What would you called that?
I was wondering when he was gonna leave Kotaku and to fully independent, seems like the kind of guy with enough of his own sources would do really well. I wonder what other outlet he joined, good for him though his exposes are killer and always a treat to leak. Also telling the world what the next AC every year is also enticing.

Have you bothered to follow up with him?
Have you bothered to consider the myriad of reasons why he hasn't published a report on it?
Do people think that stories on Rockstar and Riot Games, etc, take a week to gather all the info?

I'm sure the same is true for many of Jason's stories.
That's all shit the new owners have done that all the writers hate.
Already subbed to triple click. I'll still visit Kotaku but im not sure it will be the same with out his influence. So many great writers gone, hope some new folks can fill those spots.
Fuck Jim Spannfeller.
Looking forward to what Jason has in the future beyond his books and podcast.

It's not hard to believe report on sexist culture in Riot Games took months a lot of fact checking trying to find employees to talk about the crushing conditions of sexist culture since obviously they're afraid for future of their careers.
But this report different in its nature. Jason is not gonna go to China for investigations. Amplifying BBC's report is what is enough and expected, and it is not unusual to report and go deeper since by its nature report is not exclusive. He is welcome to do so. You can find many excuses but doesnt change anything untill he reports this. That's the most important.
Wow, ONE whole month? Well this COMPLETELY and ENTIRELY invalidates the complete body of work of an INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST whose work literally takes MONTHS of investigating, sourcing, writing, and editingOh, that. Here;

Good luck man! You're legit one of the best gaming journalist out there, and you'll definitely have a lot of eyes still following you now that certain baggage isn't there (warranted or not)
I feel like some people think 7,000-word expose's come together through a weekend of writing and a couple of interviews.
You need primary sources within the infrastructure (guards or former prisoners at camps, CCP); no gaming site has these sources which take months to develop and usually journalists who are on the ground. If you are saying they should have made a post about the BBC report, sure I would agree.Oh, that. Here;
