So, all 5 of those men were respected journalists who after fucking her wrote positive reviews if her game, even though the game sucks?
Is that the story? I am asking because I couldn't understand the back story.

While some of you may object morally to someone sleeping around, and while some of you might find promiscuity offensive, there is absolutely nothing illegal or shameworthy in fucking 6 men.

Would anyone be offended if they found out that the male creator of Fez, Braid, Halo, Uncharted etc. fucked 5 women, one of who was employed by IGN?

If her game sucks, no amount of sex will make it a blockbuster (unless of course she offers a blow job to every single customer).

People need to get off their high horse and stop poking noses into other people's private affairs.

You're right that there is no proof that she did it for personal gain. But there is proof that she did at least have sex with them. There is also proof that people discussing it got deleted from mods that had contact with her and that articles about it got taken down. That is where the suspicions came from in the first place. Her cheating on her boyfriend is part of the evidence that she may be using her body to get ahead.

No, it is proof of nothing. 

What it is, is an excuse for the perves of the internet to try to insert themselves without merit into the sex life of a woman.

Then why bring up the five other men including a married man  cheating on her boyfriend all inflamitory and having nothing to do with the case at point .

if you want to bring up a real or percieved gender bias  you should stick to the facts that are relevent to the point  that point being  ,was her having sex with a journalist done for pleasure or business and, unlike the other case this is further muddied by the fact that she wasn't a coworker discriminating  or being discriminated against ,  the victim if any would be the journalist's employer and as such it should be up to them to see if their employees actions where inappropriate.

It really comes down to what is really poor choices by both sides not something that needs to be made into a spectical.

well everytime a man cheats that is remotely famous it gets media attention. So i don't see why this shouldn't get attention in a supposed equality driven society.

what she did and what other men in the media preceding her did should be their own private business to sort out.

I hate how one person's inexcusable behavior is somehow justification to bash an entire movement and gender.

Yes, women can do horrible, selfish things too. But it should be the individual who deserves the ire and disgust, not (genuine) feminists or females as a whole. Most of us aren't man-hating nutjobs, and it's only the outspoken few. Any time I see anything involving women that could possibly be considered scandalous, such as the Zero Suit Samus Alts, I see more people getting up in arms about the supposed complaints from 'feminazis' than I see people actually complaining (Tumblr notwithstanding, but if you go there, that's on you). It's frustrating seeing people on both sides being so irrational and uncompromising.

That said, if this is all true, this women and the men she used/was used by deserve plenty of scorn.

There is supposed evidence, the veracity of which I could not speak to but that is not the point.  That she may have cheated, or been promiscuous is not the issue, but if she slept with a game journalist and that journalist gave her press then that created a conflict of interest, that goes for anyone.  The problem here is with corruption of the media, and while the bar for gaming journalism's validity is very low that doesn't mean it shouldn't be held to some sort of standard.

Now admitted, all of the rabble that has been stirred up with this is salacious, when cooler heads prevail--hopefully--it shouldn't simply be blown off as, "It's none of anyone's business," if it is proved unequivocally that there is truth to this fiasco.

That blog makes it sound like she slept with all those people while they were broken up and makes it a habit to keep citing her "principles" and how she "violated them" when she did so. Then on top of that he is ridiculously obsessive. His messages with her go on for weeks, refusing to let things go. He just goes on and on, in an obvious attempt to keep making her feel like shit. One moment he says he wants to work things out, then the next moment he says things like "but I still can't understand why you slept with so and so".

Jeez... I can't believe I read like 75% of that thing...

Cheating sucks, but if they were in fact broken up when she slept with them then fair game.

usually if a male cheats on her partner it creates a scandal and some kind of apology is required


problem here is the lack of evidence, the video shown is hardly proof


so TotalBiscuit's post makes total sense to me, basically resumed by "you can't see very far in a shitstorm."

Well ... yes.  I wouldn't say 'offended', but IF we're talking about a writer or editor who dealt with information pertaining to the game in question, that's a conflict of interest.  It's no different than if EA or Activision gave "funding" to a gaming news site right before that site wrote something positive about them.  That would be up for public discussion, as well, and rightly so.
