Has Zoe Quinn been driven out of her home? I thought it was the Feminist Frequency Sarkesian who was driven out of her home?

Only allegedly as reporters confirmed no call was actually made to the local police department. Unless she went straight to a federal agency, she was lying.

I really don't care. I've neither the time nor patience to put up with seemingly endless accusations of bias and sexism from all sides. I just try to ignore any top that deals with "controversial" topics.

My gaming decisions are made from:

"Opinions of Friends"

"Demo"

"Gameplay Videos and LPs"

"Opinions of Forum goers I agree with"

and then, if I still have some doubt I might take a look at a few revews. 

Reviews are just data points to add to the decision making process-  if u read a cross section of reviews I think the less sincere aspects of them can be filtered out-   

I think it is too bad that gaming has become the next political forum for what amount to a lot of disingenuous people elevating issues that are far less a problem in gaming than they are in many other aspects of entertainment and society -   

Inevetably these non market place forces will influence the industry for the wrong reasons and restrict what creators of video games feel like they can and can t do -

This is the only videogames forum I have visited which isn't constantly talking about Gamergate, and I am very glad for it. It should just end already.


This forum also doesn't shutdown any and every post about Gamergate. That's not a coincidence.

In classic gamer style, we've distracted the purpose. It's not longer about it's original purpose. It's perverted into slut shaming someone who pissed of her boyfriend when she broke up with him. We don't know if she was sleeping with people for review scores, she likely wasn't. I could go onto facebook right now and destroy someone's life if I wanted to. I could destroy some people with the truth that I've decided to keep quiet, or I could make up a bunch of BS lies.
