Update from the author:
Well, that’s new: usually when I need the archived article it’s because the original was paywalled, but this time the original seems to have been deleted completely. Is Vice getting censored too now?
Because VICE went bankrupt. Surprised their website is running at all.
The author posted three articles involving Collective Shout. The only one that didn’t get removed replaces most of the detailing on Collective Shout with narration of the now-endangered benefits of “we both roleplay as giant women who consume our viewers”.

Moral of the story: To avoid takedown, double down
and eat peopleIt’s weird, the link on the front page is still there, but it leads to a 404:

Archive.ph is always a great choice for this kind of bs. I was able to pull the the article before they decided to remove it. https://archive.ph/x5cGQ
It seems like they are genuinely just anti-video game, which is insane. At first i thought they were pro-SA since they try to censor negative depictions of it, but then they also target GTA with blatant lies. Maybe the puritans aren’t as dead as they should be and some of them still hate the idea that someone could be having fun.
