I think Ryukokki might be sleeping around with a few staff members and Guild and Gahars. I suppose that it does make it related (if only tangentially related)
EDIT: Tom might be the wildcard in the orgies, I was asked not to reveal more. They have my family.
EDIT2: I now have a burrito bomb threat on my hands. Pray for me.

Because the front page is for significant gaming/homebrew news, not about some bitch who slept with a bunch of guys. This isn't TMZ, we don't give a shit.
I have no idea to what you are referring, and it's going to stay that way or else

Someone hacked the campaign account (guessed the password). The campaign is not cancelled.

"We don't like you "attacking" a woman in "games" development. Therefore, we will prevent you from supporting women in games development."
Well, we already knew that these people never wanted actual progress or advancement, but at least they're being forthright about it now.
Me too. I mean, "zoequinnsuxlol" is 14 characters
And now for some objective, unbiased reporting:
Actual update time:
Kotaku, in response to the criticism and backlash, is starting to make some concession. One of the first new policies is that its employees are not allowed to financially support the developers they're supposed to be covering. Seems fair, right?
Tim "The Wallet Chafer" Schafer sicced his fanbase on JonTron for the heinous crime of disagreeing. Then again, he also promotes fellowfinancial boondoggler "Kickstarter Entrepreneur" Anita Sarkeesian, so I guess the guy's just gotta stick up for his own.

Now that's what I call desperation. I guess no one ever told them about "biting the hand that feeds" and all that.
Speaking of "Stupidly lashing out and making yourself look like a chump," Neogaf's been getting pretty ban happy, evidently.
And hey, you know those absurdly high scores and all the praise thrown at Gone Home? Yeah, funny thing about at least one of those reviews...
Also, here's an interesting piece on the online abuse and harassment that people have claimed.
I have to say that abstracting oneself from the game creator is always hard. I too reviewed a game that was made by a close acquaintance of mine, but I had to forget about that and review it for what it was, and I think I gave it a fair review. It's difficult not to pander to a friend of yours and it's always hard to give constructive criticism, but it's necessary. I almost feel for the reviewers engulfed in all this, but at the same time I can't justify giving a 10/10 just because you know the creator - it's just not constructive at all. Nothing is perfect and poking holes in the product is necessary for the product to improve over time.
