This isn't written in /v/ style at all. Here's why:

They don't even sign their hacking attacks.
Post refers to writer as I.
Leader of 4chan and anonymus. Head mod at /V/. No, just no....
Creedo of anonymus is wrong.

Social Security number never gets added to doxxings from 4chan. As odd as they may be, they have standards.

Where exactly do things like the Polytron company info come from? That's not something you could obtain by hacking their page!

Nonono, this smells really fishy (no pun intented). I urge people to think twice before blaming "evil 4chan" for those recent doxxings , especially because of aforementioned inconsistencies. Weird how certain developers running out of excuses suddenly get hacked isn't it? Anybody can claim to get hacked by anonymus.

EDIT:

Could even be Phil himself. Now, I'm not going as far as claiming that yet, but there are other very supsicous things surrounding this hack.
Please note that I'm not supporting Phil's info getting displayed publically though! (It is important to add these days because otherwise you get a lot of strawmen stuck to a comment)

So here's why we can even consider Phil himself behind this:

The wealth of information, goes beyond a few hacking sites, possibly even accessing personal data from Phil that isn't stored online. UPDATE: There is absolutely zero reason for all this information to have been on the Polytron website server. The Polytron website is nothing more than a company website showcasing Fish’s works. Why would it contain personal information on Fish and actual Fez game files? Even if the Polytron server was being used to host the Fez game files (a huge security flaw), there’s still no reason for Fish’s personal info to be located on the server or anywhere else.

Related to Zoe Quinn whos doxxing was proven to be fake already. Source

With Polytron being a dead weight, with Phils rep destroyed by himself already, there is not much left he could lose from polytron being compromised. With enough precoutious measures taken, he can walk away from this with less damage than one would think.

Based on his previous aggressive-impulsive behavior a self doxx cannot be safely excluded from a psychological standpoint either.

How come he still got access to his twitter account eventhough it was hacked? UPDATE: Out of all things, his twitter apparently magicaly never got hacked. Whi would tweet about beign hacked as their first action after being doxxed instead of being busy gettingt eh information taken down?

Polytron is hosted by on cloudfare. Apparently you cannot change things to this degree unless you are the owner of the page. I'll try to dig deeper here and update if I find more solid proof.

1.5 GB being compiled and put online at the same time as the site being hacked is next to impossible. Who would upload the data back to the same hacked webserver as well and give the owner the power to delete it again quickly?

Again this is no attempt at trolling or victim blaming. It's just pointing out inconsitencies and thing that might have not been noticed by the public eye so far. Just to be warned, "nobody would do that to themselves" is not a valid argument against any of these points.

tldr: reddit found another woman to hate

Evil and sociopathic yes. Mentally ill... maybe

Look behind the crazy poo poo happening, there are sane and rational reasons for Zoe and Fish to do the poo poo they're doing. Thanks to this drama, Zoe's Paetron monthly Paetron donations have gone from $1000.00 a month to a total of $2326.00 a month and growing.

On Fish's end, his indie companies were in serious problems. Fez 2 looked pretty dead and Fish had nothing else coming up on the horizon that would keep his company afloat or cover the bills. At minimum this allows him to exit the game dev scene as some kind of morale stand as opposed to being a failure. Plus, with all the free publicity this is generating, he's greatly increased the odds someone might actually buy his company and he'll recoup a bunch of costs.

What turned these people into such dickless turdpushers

Ever meet that kid in school whom would tell you about how unfair the world was to him/her, how poor they were, and how their parents constantly abused them? They'd then leverage their lovely life in order to borrow an increasing amount of money and stuff from you while using it as an excuse for why they're late or couldn't make your birthday and stuff. Then it would turn out that life was actually pretty good to them, their family was well off and they were getting a pretty awesome allowance, and their parents were spoiling them every second of the day?

These guys are that kid, all grown up.
