    I have to agree. The real problem with anyone trying to discuss anything related to the situation though, is that you've got 2 opposite extremes at odds with each other; those crying murder and are actually harassing Quinn, and those who are crying sexism at every critique or line of questioning directed at Quinn (essentially not distinguishing between harassment and genuine critique or questioning) or in the greater scheme of things the gaming industry. That coupled with the copious amounts of censorship going around is actually just one giant shitstorm. It's hard to see the real discussion between these variables, which is to say reason for discussion does exist.

    B1nary, your post is a bit messed up and I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say.

    Best article on it yet: http://robsimple.wordpress.com/2014/...netapocalypse/

    I agree with it completely.

    *edit*

    And why didn't MyGaming post any news on this? Especially the whole Fine Young Capitalist bit? Or even that Fish is selling his company or well there are so many important game industry issues that happened because of this scandal.

    Maybe I missed it.
