Did the original draft simply mention that she knew Anita/Zoe or did it also mention that Maya was funding her Patreon?

Honestly I think we're going to see a lot of Patreon Laundering going on in the near future.

Her response:

Jenn Frank posted:

Recently I wrote a piece for The Guardian. As a result, some of you are wondering why I did not disclose my relationship—a professional friendship with, and Patreon support of Zoe Quinn.
The Guardian actually nixed the disclosure of my relationship with Zoe, simply because it didn’t strike editors or legal—that is, The Guardian’s legal department, which approved the final draft—as a “conflict of interest” in an op/ed about abuse. The publication determined the disclosure I provided didn’t matter, since my piece is not a review.
In the disclosure’s original draft, I mention that I have never reviewed one of Quinn’s games and, as a Patreon supporter, the truth is, I would not.
I hope this clears up any confusion.

Isn't this already a thing? It seems everyone is donating to everyone. Who actually comes out ahead? Do more popular patreons get more exposure?

the one thing this whole retarded episode has taught me is that there's a difference between the indie developers and the indie developer scene, where the former is massive and full of really creative people and the latter is like 20 trust fund SF residents who spend all day on twitter

It's hilarious to me, since conflict of interest is one of of the first things you learn about as a journalism major. There's a line, and if you're dancing around it you're not fulfilling your obligations as an unbiased observer.

One guy said he was tweeting quotes from his journalism ethics book from college to one of the writers and they were disagreeing with the quotes.

Can anybody use Patreon? Like, could you sign an organization up for it, no strings attached? Is there some standards for what you can and cannot raise money for?
There are absolutely no editorial standards or reviews on Patreon. You can get patronized either monthly or whenever you hit a button that says you made some content and it pays out at the beginning of the month under either option.

haha dude you dont understand. the Judges have NO OBLIGATION to even look at your game. They're assigned it but most don't even play the games.

To be fair, I've been playing game long enough that I can get the direction most games are going for in the first 5 minutes.

The indie scene that brought you hot bangers such as Depression Quest is full of complete poo poo that wouldn't even pass muster on the Xbox indie store... you don't say. I think its wrong for a judge to not even install the game, but I don't hold it against them if they don't play them for more then 5-10 minutes. Afaik judges aren't being paid, so you can't really expect much from them.

For a game designed and developed by women, there sure are a lot of men who want to have their input on the creative process.

About the only way they can double down again is to start screaming that #gamergate is colluding with games companies to agrlhargghj;arg ;rga j; arg;ra g;lar g;lh

So, yeah, that probably. God, crazy is really funny from far away.
