Honestly, this is their personal life, if anything I don't think this is "gaming news", or even should be considered news at all...

and contrarily to what you point out in the OP, I have never seen any news of some male game creator cheating on their partner, that's just not touched... not because this is buried, but because it's not relevant.

What a filthy whore...

Anyone got her E-Mail address? XD

Banned - Kantor

On the other hand, if this happened to get press and publicity, then nobody should be surprised if it gets press and publicity

If she just had sex with them because she likes to have sex it's a thing between her and her boyfriend she betrayed and nobody of us should talk about it.

If she did it to get more articles in magazines, maybe better scores in reviews or whatever it is obviously something which should be talked about on gaming sites since it is also affecting us then.

It's not an "important story". It's gossip about someone behaving like an asshole in a relationship, something which - sadly - happens millions of times a day all over the world.

The extremely dubious claim for relevance comes from the unproven conjecture that there was a quid-pro-quo, sex for publicity. There is at this point no evidence whatsoever to suggest that was the case.

The "censorship" that you're worried about is the same kind of (self) censorship news media has exercised throughout the modern era in not printing character assassinations, gossip, defamation and private quarrels unless there is some extremely strong reason it is in the public interest to do so.

Why? Because pretty much every single one of us have some enemy out there, and for most of us we have one or two who dislikes us for good reason. In similar fashion for most of us it's easy to zoom in on some episode where it might be possible that we did something unethical in the eyes of a beholder.

That's not enough Kantor, if you want to open that can of worms and have a public discussion scrutinizing whether some girl (who is at best a niche player in video games) was a good and caring girlfriend or not, then you need proof of some actual unethical professional behavior. Not conjecture based on the blog posts of a betrayed boyfriend.

If in doubt, just read the posts after you unlocked the thread and note that a considerable part of the discussion is still centered on whether Quinn was a nice girlfriend etc.

eeeuuuuhhhh :-/ look at that face, she's not even good looking and she has slept with 6 diff men at the same time duration? its just sad, im gonna throw up!

I don't even see why you made that post when other users were already moderated for exactly that kind of behavior! :S

Ewww, gross.

Sad when someone has to use sex to get somewhere in the world. And because shes sleeping with her boss and at least one gaming journalist, as gamers it would not only affect the game we are potentially buying, but the media coverage of it as well.

I feel bad for her boyfriend. Hope there aren't any STD ramifications.

I am a bit surprised that this thread has been reopened. The issue has been marred by ludicrous buzzwords and petty insults on both sides, and that is understandable given the sensitive nature of the story, however there is an important issue at the heart of the matter that shouldn't be ignored if found out to be true. So I am glad that the mods decided to bring it back, though I fear it will inevitably devolve into baseless personal attacks before long.
