Very good response. Hoping for the best. They also mentioned needing to cancel their current project they were working on, and delaying a port of Night in the Woods to iOS. As an indie dev, this cannot be easy for them. They are incredibly strong and brave people.

There are turds in the replies, which makes you wonder what about this game even appealed to them.

The cognitive dissonance of people who claim to have a genuine affection for this game and the story it presents yet somehow manage to maintain a victim blaming attitude about this revelation is incredibly depressing.

i'm going to guess most of those replies are from folks who haven't played the game and have been mobilized by some angry gamer trash site

It's this, but they are intentionally ignoring that multiple other women have come forward and confirmed her story and that they have experienced similar abuse from the same person.

But it's always a conspiracy by multiple jilted women piling in to take down a successful man, you see.

I wonder if they just end up donating the proceeds somewhere. Would his name still be all over the game going forward?

It's a whole thread but I feel this part is most relevant here.

DO NOT READ THE loving COMMENTS

I'm gonna be real, I have a mood disorder that has lead to rage attacks. I am no stranger to apologizing and recognizing that some people may want nothing to do with me/keep my distance now that I've figured my poo poo out. I am not proud of any of it, but I was never so far gone that I raised a hand to someone, or loving raped them.

Seriously, if I woke up one morning and realized I'd repeatedly raped someone (saying nothing of several someones) and treated them that loving horrendously, I'd have killed myself long before it even came close to seeing the light of day. Because how in the gently caress do you ever let it come to that without seriously re-evaluating your worth as a person. How.

Maybe I'll eat a probe for having zero sympathy, but I don't. Mental illness is no excuse for the poo poo he did, and I already hate what this is going to turn into. I legit hate that he didn't have the fortitude to eat the loving shame and live with it. His victims sure as gently caress do, and now they have to deal with even more of it.

Bottom line, I feel real loving bad for Zoe Quinn. Like beyond bad.

Fuck you say?
"He wasn't sorry about the act, he was sorry he got caught" taken to its most cowardly extreme. Zoe needs to get away from Twitter and Twitter was a loving mistake anyway.

E: I also suffer(ed) from rage syndrome as well but I've never hurt anyone because of it, only objects and myself and even then I always felt like a loving monster afterwards. Being on sertraline now and able to zen myself away from my anger I totally agree that it doesn't exonerate you from accountability.

Yeah, given the rate at which folks kill themselves after being raped, I really can't find the time to sympathize with a rapist who topped himself. His sister, certainly, but not him.

Well this has been some seriously crazy times. Has any other game had this level of drama behind it?

It's gonna be tough to enjoy NITW in the future. I really truly enjoyed it and I had some feelings about the themes and social interactions in the game.

To be fair, the only involvement Alec had with the game was the music. Still sucks though as there were a lot of really good tracks on there.
