Female game dev Zoe Quinn sleeps her way to the top: scandal

[Agritum]

What did you expect? NS seems to somehow developed a vocal minority of Tumblr users and SJW's.

NSG.

NSG developed that vocal minority.

The II is dark and full of fascists.

There's a silent minority of kiddy diddlers who go unpunished, for that matter, but that's for another topic.

Its funny to see all the White Knights defending Zoe Quinn and straw manning those who criticise her and her actions.

It's funny to see people taking someone's ex-boyfriend at their word about how "slutty" they are without any......what's the word? I'm always forgetting it when it's least convenient. Come on Scomagia, think!

AHA! That's it! The word is PROOF! People are believing this bullshit without any PROOF! I knew I'd remember it.

They have proof - she's a woman.

Meanwhile in Iraq...

Meanwhile that's off topic and not what this bloody thread is about...

He's pointing out that this is so irrelevant, it hurts.

A women cleverly manipulated some weak-willed publicists for her own benefit, I see no problem.

The men named should all be ashamed and either be fired or step down. Hopefully the wife of Joshua Boggs divorces his ass.

Zoe Quinn should also feel ashamed for actions and her game removed from Steam for the time being.

I don't think it's legal to marry an ass in the first place.

That'll change when the judges see mine.

We need to create a thread about what would happen if you could marry sections of a person, and didn't have to marry the whole person.

[Sdaeriji]

Oh no! The last bastion of objective journalism had been compromised!

[Snjorlandio]

The weird thing is Ms quinn produced a game. A product that stands and falls on its own merits. These journalists literally had one thing they could sell - their honest opinion. Sleeping with reviewers doesn't make Quinn a bad developer but it sure as he'll makes them bad journalists.

She made a bad game, cheat on her boyfriend 5 times so that she got good reviews, she got exposed along with the corrupted journalist, then they claim that its all sexism rather than corruption she has been the most vocal as for her being 'harassed' by 4Chan/WizardChan theirs little to no proof apart from a screen shot from her so far shes lied, cheated and manipulated multiple people thats why shes a bad person as for the journalist they're also bad, unethical, morally corrupt and so on

Now that'd make for some interesting legal scenarios.

Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.

Stop stating it as truth.

Because woman had sex, that's why. Just goes to show why women shouldn't be doing [insert profession here].

I'm sure it isn't

"Women had sex"

Its

"Women had sex to get ahead in an industry."

That's not why she's getting the attention she's getting. The game designer, who've released her game for free, has not been shown to be getting ahead in the industry or even attempting to do so. Hence it all ultimately boils down to "Woman had sex". Period.

Oh and I found one video with links around the issue, wish it was Thunder00t though instead...that dude links like a mofo from what I recall.

You've never been to the Middle East.

This is the Watergate of the gaming industry.

Oh please. How is this worse than that time Gamespot fired one of its writers for publishing a negative review for a game that was heavily advertised on their website? Or that time the PS3's network was down for an entire month after a hacking attack, and Sony only revealed that 77 million accounts were compromised and personal information stolen weeks into the outage?

Look, I know you have a massive hate-on for women here, but let's keep this all in perspective.

They have proof - she's a woman.

Ah yes. Whenever a woman is accused of doing anything vaguely improper relating to sex, no matter how dubious the claim, she is automatically guilty because women are slutty sluts who can't control themselves. That's the mentality, right?

Of course. And when a man does the same thing, he's obviously a "player", to be admired by his peers.

[Threlizdun]

I actually started playing her game. It's really awesome, and overs an extremely accurate representation of life with depression.

[Gravlen]

Where are these favourable reviews anyway?

Full disclosure: I just played through the game while participating in this thread. It's not great, but it is an interesting look at depression. It could be useful to raise awareness and understanding, but it's not exactly recreational.

Absolutelyy full disclosure: I have not had sex since this thread started.

I don't know the sites, I heard one may be Kotaku or something...

Nathan never reviewed Zoe Quinn's game Depression Quest, let alone gave it a favorable review.

See it's funny because it implies gaming journalism is a bastion of anything.

Not only that they take advantage of the poor innocent men who can't control themselves.

Well the vagina is a highly hypnotic organ.

It's irrelevant because you don't want it to be? Or because you don't play video games and don't have an interest in the industry and are simply defending Zoe because your SJW senses were tingling?

[Geilinor]

I wonder how many men have slept/blown/jerked/otherwise pleasured others their way to the top in the gaming industry.



Quite.

Seeing how few women are in the journalism industry, probably not many.

We just know of one woman who's done this, even one man doing it shows that this isn't exclusive to women.

What if you're gay?
