And people who only casually followed it / listened to what their twitter friends had to say about it would believe she was just another Anita-style figure that was the target of an internet hate campaign because she's a high profile woman in the gaming industry. She walks away from this nicely.

If this scandal doesn't somehow discredit her entirely in the industry, she's going to be all the more powerful a voice in it, especially with Phil Fish and Tim Schafer supporting her.
In the "indie game" scene which everyone knows is full of dipshit frauds who cares

Remember when the innocent wife was hurt by Zoe's cucking, and Zoe was just loving baffled as to why she would be mad at her and threw the husband dude under the bus on Twitter
'Why are you mad at me, you should be mad at him instead'

The only detail we know about the guy cheating on his wife is that he did it. There's a minute chance she didn't know (I have no idea how long she worked at the company). There's a fair chance he said something akin to "My wife and I have an open relationship, don't worry about it." Or any other myriad possibilities. It is not Zoe's place to police his actions. The guy fully deserves to get thrown under the bus.

I'm assuming Zoe and The Wife didn't know each other, and they should keep it that way. Who the other person is irrelevant, unless they are in your social circle.

Edit: If we know more details, I'd like to be corrected.

No, that's what Zoe tried to pull and the wife called her out on it for lying. But the tweets got deleted because the wife didn't want to deal with all that bullshit publicly and I don't feel like trying to dig up screenshots because either way the husband and the zoe are both bad people.

That wasn't the wife, that was some other chick whose bf Zoe slept with.

Nobody knows who the wife is or has been really able to get into contact with her, afaict. There's a stumbleupon that some guy over on 4chan dug up to try to get in contact with her (and make sure she knows about her husband cheating on her), but that might not even be her, last I saw.

Tim Schafer, yeah I can see that; but I sure as poo poo hope Phil Fish's support doesn't lend anyone credibility considering all he's ever done since his Cave Story clone came out is work as hard as he can on discrediting himself and his reliability as a dev.

If I cheat on my spouse, I am 100% to blame for that. I decided that it was a good idea, and I went and did it. It is my fault.

My spouse has nothing to gain by contacting the person I cheated with, other than a screaming fit that accomplishes nothing.

Whether or not the wife confronts zoe, she should be made aware so that she can get tested.

I don't see how people like Zoe and Fish can be considered credible game devs, they're basically high school popular and that's it. I don't think this high school drama extends into the actual games industry where tangible skills are important.

Nothing wrong with being an indie dev though.

The idiotic thing is their social media presence where they reveal they think they are gods who can pass judgement on the world, whilst having no particular standards about their own behavior.
