It's insane that after so long, any thread about the guys who gained influence in several big games and say things like, 'we want to destroy this industry', is still received on /v/ with a bunch of shills trying to embarrass anyone who notices what's going on. Not even the Israeli online defense is so quick to try to embarrass critics. The on-topic threads about Sweet Baby were all censored on /v/ as well, so 4chan itself protects these guys.
The question that remains is: how did they gain so much influence? Why is there always an army ready to defend these guys? Is there more to this situation than meets the eye?
For example, something deeper, somewhat similar to pic related?
