Fully financially supporting Zoe Quinn so she can make free crappy flash games is just the same as pre-ordering that new AAA title. Come on guys.

Infidelity of course sucks but throwing a big pathetic temper tantrum in front of the whole world just makes you look like a sad lil bitch. Even moreso for the people who aren't directly involved but are still like all pissed on the uh cuckee's behalf. Get lives or maybe just die

I can't remember who told the story. It was probably Jeff Gerstmann giving a talk at some college, and recalling a time there were a bunch of game journos in the same room with some of them asking whoever the PR person was if there were going to be snacks or other prizes.

Also PAX can't come soon enough.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
what exactly do you boycott on something awful anyway? forums merchandise? i've been boycotting that for a decade.

I like how in that picture she still sees herself as some bastion of virtue; that if she cheats on someone anyone can instead of her realizing she just might not be that good of a person.

According to her definition she's a rapist. According to the legal definition she isn't. So really she's not a rapist but she's a hypocrite and also a really bad person that put her SO at risk of catching STDs.

It's worse than that, she put her SO at risk of catching indiegamorrhea.

Anita proposed a game story that would be more "feminist," if I recall correctly.

It was terrible and dumb. You play a princess who's forced out of her position of power, so she goes on a long adventure to defeat the people who dethroned her... and establish a republic and abolish the monarchy.

So kinda like Crusader Kings II except not nearly as fun because it's so narrowly focused and linear. Good work there, Anita.

Actually I swear this the plot to at least one Final Fantasy game.

Upon a long reflection I don't think you know anything about Zoe Quinn or this whole situation at all except that she's a woman and gamers apparently don't like her so that means she must be the good guy because gamers are horrible.

Yeah, I thought this too. Turns out this is the one in fifty million case where that assumption is actually wrong because Zoe Quinn is in fact just as horrible as gamers.

Anita is only lionized because of all the people who hate her, her actual videos are extremely boring and poorly done, as in first year college student quality. She also purposefully generates controversy by refusing to use any nuance what so ever, so her videos end up just coming off as extremely negative and nonconstructive.
