Game Dev: ”Josh Mattingly was being a total fucking creeper on Facebook last night.”
Games Journalists: “HOLY SHIT LET’S PUBLISH THE CHATLOGS THIS IS TOTALLY INDUSTRY RELATED.”
Josh Mattingly: ”My bad, I was drunk. I’m gonna quit.”

Someone Pseudonymously Known as Magz: “Max Temkin had not-entirely-consensual sex with me one time way back in college. Well, it was more like, a crime of opportunity, but yeah.”
Games Journalists: “HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK LET’S SIGNAL BOOST THIS IT IS TOTALLY INDUSTRY RELATED.”
Max Temkin: “I have no idea what’s going on but I’m sorry.”

Former Employee of Stardock Entertainment: ”Brad Wardell sort of maybe sexually harassed me.”
Games Journalists: ”HOLY SHIT LET’S PUBLISH THE COURT DOCUMENTS AND EVERY ALLEGATION YOUR LAWYER MADE UP TO HOPE SOMETHING STICKS! THIS IS VERY INDUSTRY RELATED.”

Eron Gjoni: “So uhhh, Zoe Quinn fired me to work for someone she was having an affair with. Also she doesn’t abide by like any of the virtues she has marketed herself as an activist for. Also, by her own definition, she violated my sexual consent. Also she claims to be a compulsive liar. Also (again quite contrary to her activist stances) she purposely >stigmatizes mental illness whenever it suits her interests. Basically be careful around her?”
Games Journalists: “This isn’t industry related you’re such a shithead for airing dirty laundry these are all private >matters grow up you angry jilted ex.”
Eron Gjoni: ” Wouldn’t ‘Jilted’ would require that she broke up with me? It was the other way around. Also, I don’t really get angry because I kind of depersonalize in stressful sit—”
Games Journalists: “Angry. Jilted. Ex.”
Wolf Wozniak: “Oh shit. Zoe? She sexually harassed me at a wedding.”
Games Journalists: “Sorry what? We couldn’t hear you over the sound of how private these matters are.”
Chloe Van Keenan: “Wait — she said infidelity is a violation of consent? Doesn’t that mean she was complicit in violating my consent when she was sleeping with my boyfriend?”
Games Journalists: “Are you guys seeing all of this harassment Zoe is getting? This is totally uncalled for. I can’t >believe how misogynistic this community is.”
Abuse Survivors: “Uhh, guys? Has anyone read these chatlogs? She’s being like textbook psychologically abusive here. >Like, this is pages and pages of triggering.”
Games Journalists: “RELATIONSHIP ABUSE IS A PRIVATE MATTER. THIS IS NOT INDUSTRY RELATED.”
“Games Enthusiasts”: “Uhh, but we want to know these things because we don’t want to support people who do these >horrible sorts of things—”
Games Journalists: “JESUS CHRIST HOW MISOGYNISTIC CAN YOU GET??”
Zoe Quinn: “I’m still trying to come to terms with everything because I thought that false abuse / rape claims literally >never happened up until now. Also, uhhh, 4chan is spreading nudes of me on the internet”
Games Journalists: “HOLY FUCK THEY’RE SPREADING NUDES OF YOU?? THIS IS OBSCENE WHY WOULD THEY BE SO MAD AS TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AFTER WE’VE COMPLETELY IGNORED EVERY SINGLE THING YOU’VE DONE WRONG TO PROTECT YOU?? ARE YOU OKAY?? WE’RE COMING OVER TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE OKAY.”
Mallorie Nasrallah: “Uh, hi. Those nudes were from a porn pay site. They were back from when Zoe was doing porn. They’re not private or anything. I was her photographer at one point. Within an hour of meeting me she claimed she murdered someone who tried to rape her. These sorts of claims were not out of the ordinary for her… like I’ve met her >and her ex is really right to have warned you. You guys should really be careful.”
Games Journalists: “EXCUSE ME WE’RE TRYING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT MISOGYNY HERE.”
