This shitstorm is like video gaming's equivalent of Biggie and 2Pac at this point.

After reading this, I must say im now an official sceptic to this supposed "hack" that happened.  Gonna keep my eye on this thread in case anymore info is brought up.

While these supposed hacks were happening, and these threads on 4chan /v/ started appearing baiting and claiming responsibility for hacking / trying to egg users on to attack zoe, Adam Sessler, who was with Zoe at the time, posted this.

If all of your accounts were being hacked, would you be sat in a bar with a friend, casually drinking alcohol, both on laptops, both on 4chan? - Nope, you would be in your email / on the webpages of your accounts trying to get them back.

but you would if you were manufacturing the whole situation.

I'm beleiving this hacking thing less and less. Eeyup.

Not cool.

Phil Fish has done and said some stupid things, but it's only because he suffers from depression and doesn't handle bullies well... The last thing people should do is bully him more. Very sad.

There are lots of great targets for hackers to exploit, like corrupt politicians, CEOs, etc. Why go after him?


In life you will get what you put into it. Phil, over the last two weeks, has taken to Twitter with some of the most insane hate and disrespect for gamers and human beings in general that I have ever SEEN. He brought this on himself and now he has to live with it. Maybe he'll actually learn to respect other people from now on. Maybe this will make him a better person. If it doesn't, then, well, it's on him.

No one deserves to be hacked like that. However, I can't honestly say he'll be missed; dude was a massive asshole.

I have a depression, anxiety disorder, OCD disorder and costochondritis.

It's no excuse to act like a douchebag.

(Although I mostly resolved my issues thanks to medication and exercise, so no need to feel sorry for me :D)

That's very admirable and the right way to view things imo. The world doesn't owe anyone anything. People get into this place where they think people owe them things because they are fat, depressed, broke etc. and as a result, sit around playing the victim role instead of fixing their life and making things the way they want them to be. 

It would be nice if the world was a loving place where everyone took care of everyone but it's not and the sooner people realize this and take charge and responsibility of their lives, the better those people will be.

That's an already falsified myth. The vast majority of what you get out of life is pre-subscribed to you at birth due to social conditions, culture, and hierarchy.

"What you put into it" only nudges that scenario in all but the most lottery-like levels of lucky scenarios.

I'm not saying that putting in effort and good ethics isn't good... That positive nudge and especially that social contribution are very important. But the idea that people get what they deserve is patently false in our society.

I believe the human condition can overcome nearly anything thrust at it. Social conditions, culture, lack of hierarchy, none of that will determine shit. A human being growing up in hellest of hells can get out if they want it bad enough. You, and only you, will decide the life you live. 

There are two types of people. The types that conditionally try and the types and won't stop, regardless of said conditions. The first group will achieve nothing. The second group will achieve something.

Very true. Unfortunately for Phil he happened to get what he deserved this time around.

While I agree he can be a douche at times, really what did he say that hurt your feelings (or anyone's) so much?

That he has a different POV on electronic toys (yes that's still what games are) than some other people?
