And then wait for exactly the right moment when Phil Fish and Zoey Quinn are news items. Now of course the most likely thing that happened is they did get hacked, because other employees are saying it's legitimate. It is ultimately the hacker's responsibility for this happening- but if they did have all this personal information stored neatly and organized away, that's a massive security flaw.

If this was anyone but Phil Fish, I wouldn't be the least bit suspicious.

This whole saga had been going on for a few days now, plenty of time for someone to gather all the info, and then post on the site all at once.

Fish probably did the old "Totally unhackable gmail that contained all of his passwords."

Then why would you upload it onto their webserver where they can quickly delete it? It also was downloaded and put up in 15 seconds, which you couldn't do unless you were on the same server. And even though they don't use Cloudflare hosting, their host does provide Cloudflare's protection which means the hacker would need 2 devices of Polytron employees. Not to mention Dropbox is also pretty hard to crack into. And neither of their twitters, which twitter is alot easier to hack into than both those services, were compromised. Just the Polytron twitter which martyr's Phil Fish.

None of this makes any sense.

Why would he have all his employees private information on his website, dropbox, etc? That is incredibly dumb.

Maybe, but even then Fish wasn't really a part of the saga at all. His involvement is as far as being an rear end in a top hat on Twitter, he's not one of the "Five Guys" or really connected to Zoe in other way other than being a "friend".

Also remember that while this hack is possible, it's sure as hell not easy. The server Phil used requires authentication from two sources if it's not being accessed from a non-native computer. You have to break into that AND presumably his gmail, drop box, and other computers AND compile all the information together. It's possible, but it requires considerable knowledge and patience.

Either way, we can agree that either Fish or someone in his inner circle did this, or Fish is a breathtaking idiot.

Have your company and personal information stolen?

1. Notify authorities
1a. Notify employees and other important parties.
2. Shut up about it.

1. Notify Twitter.
2. Declare you're selling the company.

Zoe Quinn had a train run on her by five dudes at some sad LAN party and everyone gives a poo poo about it for some reason. The restaurant just has an unfortunate name stupid people have latched on to for a joke.

the really sad thing is that fishlaut do actually have access to an amazing art form that is in fact capable of deeply affecting people, but since neither have any idea how to harness interaction, half of making affective games, and are so far up their own arses that they would never consider sharing authorship with the player, which is the other half, they're like retarded children wanting to be astronauts who can't even walk

edit: and the other really sad thing is there's a group of even more retarded children following them around claiming they already are astronauts and better than any other astronaut

crazy lady cheats on boyfriend with five + dudes most of whom are games journalists

her boyfriend puts up a blog of dudes she cheated with him (this makes some sort of sense since she was engaging in unprotected sex while in a supposed to be non-open relationship so it could have been 'wrap it up'), but then adds really creepy subtext/claims that she was loving her way to success

games journalists defend the poo poo out of her because they are friends with the dudes she slept with

everyone laughs at everyone except for some legit white knights virgins and some legit e-misogynists

Well to be fair everyone she did gently caress extensively covered her game and gamejam and one of them did give her an award. Not saying she fucker her way to success, but she definitely hosed with journalistic integrity a bit

also lol didnt know it was unprotected sex that rocks
