Zoe Quinn is one of many women targeted by the Gamergate harassment campaign.

Oh look a somewhat sane and rational article on this from a gaming website:

http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/08/the-kotaku-zoe-quinn-scandal-the-aftermath-and-thoughts/

quote:


Three days ago, I covered a developing story in regards to accusations of a current writer of Kotaku by the name of Nathan Grayson having sexual relations with indie developer named Zoe Quinn to both mutually benefit their careers. Why? Because nobody else would. Social media outlets were removing any mention the story out of fear that personal details of the developer would spread, and other gaming news sites refused to publish the story either to avoid drawing any attention to their own involvement of the story, or out of fear of the so called ‘social justice’ lynch mobs that have quickly taken control of the conversation. As a result of what happens when you cover a popular topic that nobody else wants, myself and GamerHeadlines itself became the eye of the storm, for better or for worse.

Now, let me preface this by saying that as you’ve likely noticed, GamerHeadlines is no Kotaku or Polygon. We carry many similar stories and serve the same audience, but we are gamers first and foremost, writing about the stories that matter to us out of our own time. Nobody here earns anything near a full time income from writing for this site, and we’re willing to give a voice to any gamer that wants a shot at being heard. This is videogame news by regular gamers from all walks of life, and our reward is a chance at getting closer to the industry that we all love. Because of our independence, we have a have a deep respect for freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and the idea that such a potentially important story was being blacked out irked us.

I should stress, heavily, that all I did as a reporter, was report on the news that accusations were made, and that a number of famous names in the industry were directly or indirectly involved. Though I personally take a particularly dim view on the ‘social justice’ crusade that’s followed this story, I pick no sides in this debate.

And a very dim view I take. Since publishing the article and ‘going viral’, myself and my colleagues have been subject to threats, illegal attempts to obtain personal information, and illegal attempts to hack the editor account of the site. Nobody should have to receive a phone call from the police because somebody disagreed with an article you wrote on the internet, ever. Still in spite of this, we shall keep the article up and updated for as long as the situation remains relevant to the industry.

To borrow the words of Ms. Zoe Quinn, We do not negotiate with terrorists.

I'm assuming this is the bosses wife she's talking to? Eitherway

I am rather sure Quinn would have known her boss is married. Though it doesn't really matter. He cheated on his wife, he should take 100% of the flak for it. Though Zoe probably did rape* him, so who am I to say?

*Zoe's definition, not mine.

I don't think that's the married guy's wife and she flip flopped on whether she knew the boss was married first claiming she didn't then deflecting it as he got more accustomed to seeing through her bullshit

This is the first person he ever loved and was a sad sack pathetic gently caress but he actually did manage to chip a small part of that STD encrusted heart away because she started admitting all kinds of poo poo at the threat of actually losing him, until realizing he was rightfully never, ever going to allow her to have the upper hand in the relationship again which is when she refused to talk to him online anymore out of fear of him saving poo poo

The majority of evidence says yes.

It was a pretty difficult hack that required Fish to be a breathtaking idiot to be possible. Also it required whoever did it to not just go and collect a hard earned $100,000 but publish it online so the information would become useless. Also it's weird that Fish was targeted since until now he wasn't even involved in the scandal beyond being Zoe's rear end in a top hat twitter friend.

However Fish had the ability to do so, didn't initially inform the FBI, and also had motive. His company is not doing well and this event allows him to up his profile at a time when he needs to sell his assets as well as manage to leave on a morally superior high note as opposed to being a massive failure.

Shadoer you didn't quote the best part of that link

quote:

A protest against corruption in the videogames industry is currently being organised outside the venue of PAX next week. Will this go anywhere? Who knows. The protest is being organised by an anonymous industry insider with a STEM background, who makes a point of describing themselves as a woman. More on that if and when it develops.

Like the accusations of exchanging sex for press, Zoe Quinn’s claims that 4chan hacked her personal Tumblr account to obtain nude photos has been debunked, after attempts to spread the images made it apparent that they are crude Photoshops. This is still a very terrible (and illegal) thing to do to a person, though it calls into question how truthful those accused have been during this whole ordeal.
