I never seen such a big news about this sort of topic on gaming before. Is this sort of thing relatively new?

And if the thread starter is banned, maybe the mod can change the thread title if its inaccurate.

Nope, there was a worse case, though not as salacious, with an ign editor marrying a nintendo pr executive some years ago.

Oof, now that is a weird case. I think that is the type of thing that should be openly disclosed in articles and it may be a conflict of interest, but there is a clear difference between marriage and sexual favors. In that case, a bias might be created (although bias among IGN writers is certainly not exclusive to this case), but its not like she married him so he would say nice things about Nintendo, whereas this case with Zoe Quinn is an (alleged) bribe with sexual favors. I would certainly say the Zoe Quinn case, if proven to be true, is a lot "worse" than this case with Matt Cass.
