Also there's the point that unlike a lot of non-tech savy companies, Phil Fish runs a game development company. He and his employees have intimate knowledge of coding, how computers work, and why you should never leave that poo poo on a webserver or drop box. This makes the odds of them doing something this stupid incredibly unlikely.

Anyone who says Fish/all coders/developers are all really security-savvy, is definitely wrong. Some developers have 'hello1' as passwords or whatever. Lots of computer professionals do dumb poo poo on the internet the whole time. The only time someone is probably-ish-guaranteed to be taking all the necessary precautions if he's a security expert.

Mmm yes people who can program in c# are obviously highly intelligent people with a vast knowledge in computer security and best practices in all things computer related.

Really? Like I'm not expecting tons of encryption and stuff, but anyone who's taken Comp 101 should know poo poo like making your password "pa$$w0rd" is a terrible idea. They should also know not to make a file called "HackerPleaseDestroyMyCompany.zip" and place it on Dropbox.

ive been bi-polar all my life.
altho i dont KNOW, i dont think the guy could have actually pull the trigger on anybody.
it takes a special kind of person to do that.
but it really just takes a poor little depressed dude to SAY things like that.

it was hella stupid on his part to say things like that, especially using the VA killings to add a bit more shock value to the whole thing. if the guy said things like that, then the guy was obviously in a hell of a low.

i know how these go. things seem absolutely hopeless...you get "despair attacks" where maybe for the span of one nights, things looks like theyll never get better. you say things. you do things. you regret them. i pitty the poor ****er that he got mixed up with this VA mess. it wasnt alright of him to pull that poo poo, and i cant blame the girl for being freaked out and calling the cops. but oh boy, what bad timing.

also, most of you are all ****ing jerks.
imagine being a pudgy jewish kid with googley eyes and what seems like somekind of mild mental illness... imagine being ridiculed on the internet because you dared put together an earnest little review show. it has to SUCK to be this guy. suck HARD.

one of the bigger challenges of being bi-polar is damage control. or atleast trying not to say and do those things you KNOW you shouldnt do. but sometimes you cant help yourself, you **** up hardcore and you get in that kind of trouble.

That's what all these people who are eating up these stories (That have no credible evidence whatsoever) are claiming, it's just concern trolling

But then you have to remember depression quest was free and his no reviews at ALL

Anyone who thinks it's anything other than "We hate zoe quinn because girl" is really loving dumb
