Most big gaming reviews are done for the highest bidder anyway. swap out "money" for "sex" and we have this story.
Gaming journalism is a piece of pomegranate anyway and needs this sort of kick up the ass.
I do feel like this is going to set back feminism in gaming even more though. There is enough sexism in gaming communities without adding this to the fire.
#Gamergate - Curtiss - 2014-08-21
Just caught up on all the posts, and this is truly appalling in all senses of the word. Scandals aside, this 'game' basically spits on video games as a whole and the real big 'game' here is how people are being played as fools by Zoe, her cronies, and everyone who's been bought by her lies.

ShinkuDragon Wrote:thing is that her personal life isn't the internet's business, if the internet is nosy about it then bad for them and terrible behavior of the internet.
however, a game developer bolstering her sales via sex, and internet journalist accepting such things, -that's- something that is the internet's business. to put a different example, clinton did NOT sleep with that woman!
As one person eloquently put it when she said "my personal life isn't your pineappleing business", "you used pineappleing for business so it is no longer personal"
by the way, if you didn't post the screenshot yet proving via youtube videos that she was still seeing one of the guys on 4/31 even though she claimed to have broken up with him on 4/23 and thus "it wasn't cheating" (just her being a whore for sleeping with someone less than a week after she broke up with someone), you should definitely post that, it's pretty good too. edit: oh, you did, hah.

oh yea, but that's exactly my point, the problem isn't that she pineappleed, it's what she got by pineappleing, i'm pretty much saying the same thing you are, just hoping we're on the same page.
problem is a good amount of people focus on the "she cheated on her BF!" instead of the "for favors, which were given to her for the sex" and that's big. make it about zoe and you're gonna get the SJW on you (even more), plus if anything the only one to really go down would only be zoe, if at all. make it about how corrupt the whole thing is.
edit: i really like that phrase btw, hadn't heard it before

Basically she's a prostitute who got paid in game reviews.

Some context for how huge kotaku is.

Just because a site is popular doesn't mean it's reputable.

Secun Wrote:Phil Fish's entire schtick is that he makes huge outbursts because 1) he's a huge plantain and 2) he knows it'll get him the attention he craves.
He isn't doing it for attention,at least, not in the sense you're implying. He invented the persona he has online and kept it because it keeps people talking about him and therefore his game. He sold >million(s?) of copies of Fez and is probably one of the richest indie developers in the business. It doesn't matter if you don't like him (You shouldn't, that's the entire point), he doesn't care, the outbursts are all well calculated plots to make sure his name/work appears every few months in the news, despite being in an industry where it's impossible for him to release anything more than once every few years. In an age where there are tens if not hundreds of indie games releasing every week, he made himself rich, despite his game being barely any better than 2d platformer #20654 and it wasn't an accident.

LOL
Because anything she does matters anymore. No one is going to buy anything from her anymore, she's essentially destroyed her career and doesn't know it yet, and spends her time digging the hole deeper and deeper.
To be honest, I didn't even know who she was or what Depression Quest even was before this crap happened. But I needed some stress relief, and it's fun laughing at people you can watch deliberately destroy their career because they think they're better than everyone else.

Someone by the name of Jenn
![[Image: 2nbulnk.png]](http://i59.tinypic.com/2nbulnk.png)
claimed that I was creating a sex conspiracy by posting the screenshot you mentioned here. She claimed a lot of other crap too, and went passive-aggressively attacking me before and after claiming she didn't want a fight. Her original statement about hypocrites seemed to suggest she wanted one, so I provided counterpoint after counterpoint to prove that her line of thinking was based on misinformation.I think it's worth noting how a Zoe Quinn defender typically acts when confronted with any kind of new information - with hostility and continuing to attack someone (she said she had to go back to her "real job" of being a dentist, which she mentioned many times) after they call a ceasefire. She never provided any kind of evidence to support her claims. It's like shooting fish into a barrel.

She is manipulating people into believing that it's a gender issue, but it isn't—she's hurting innocent people that are actually trying to make a difference, and using her sob story to gain even more favor with the industry, both devs and journalists alike.

Uh wut
Did i say anything about proving reputability? Alexa is for traffic statistics and whatnot. The only reason i posted alexa links was to show how big kotaku is and thus showing how much impact them NOT being reputable has on gaming news just based on the sheer traffic they have.
Breaking top 1000 sites in the world is a big deal, and they broke top 600.

I recently found out that Depression Quest is actually free. So I don't think she directly gets money from this. At least a prostitute directly makes money from her 'sale'.

She gets publicity.
And then there is the whole thing about how money towards her game jam goes into her own personal account, not a separate account made for the game jam. And that there is almost no info about it, no dates, anything.

http://puu.sh/b2DPz/21093bc2a0.jpg - Well, I know who to avoid.
http://www.thefineyoungcapitalists.com/Voting - On a more positive note, the contest she crashed is up again and I can't think of a better way to spit on her 'work' than to support the projects here that actually look fun and show promise. It's easy to she why she doxxed it considering she wouldn't stand a single chance against the competition and her talent lies in ahem, other areas.
