This is pretty entertaining. Maya Kramer, Zoe's PR person (one of the five guys who happens to be a woman) slept with the head of the Indie Games Fest and whaddya know, all of the winners and finalists either employ Maya for PR or straight up work at the same PR company she does.

I can understand selling out when EA drives a dumptruck full of money up your driveway, but finding out how many people will gladly sell out in return for a listless handy from a chick with Manic Panic hair is hilarious.

Also the "CEO" tweeting he is going to fire "gamers" is fake as hell. That would be a lawsuit immediately. It's mindblowing people are actually supporting him unironically though.

Also I have to wonder, does the "kill all gamers" stuff apply to those who play tabletop games as well? What about monopoly and scrabble? Or poker, that's a game.

I'm sure they're not happy, but realize that the association of big publishers and media goes two ways. If some hypothetical evidence surfaced that was really bad, enough to actually take down Kotaku or Polygon, they'd need to do a lot of work to establish relationships with whoever came next.

I think everyone on the media and publisher side wants this to just go away ASAP which is why they've pulled back to just repeating "harassment is bad" over and over.
