She also accused a guy of raping her and drove him to suicide.
edit: started adding more before I noticed the reply. Then I added even more. Might as well tell the whole story. Holy infodump.
Adam Holowka, a developer behind I'm Okay, Aquaria, Towerfall, and Night in the Woods. He also ran the Infinite Ammo podcast. Adam did far more for the industry then she ever will. I'm Okay was the game made for Jack Thompson's Modest Proposal. Thompson didn't live up to his end of the bargain, so Penny Arcade did instead, donating $10,000, and starting the Childs Play charity. Aquaria was one of, if not the first game to really kick of the modern indie game movement. They also did a devlog during development, so they started that trend too. He did a lot to try to bring the Winnepeg community together, including being one of the creators behind the Winnitron, an arcade cabinet (that became cabinets) for indie games.
Quinn not only accused Alec of rape, but also of preventing her from leaving the house, not letting her see others or go to events. I think she even mentioned he controlled her ability to contact others. Her twitter posts from the time talking about how she was loving the events she was going to clearly proved otherwise. but by the time people reported on them, his community had already abandoned him, and it was too late.
Quinn also accused the boyfriend that she cheated on with journalists of being physically abusive. I didn't hear her say this publicly, but in court. There is (or was) a law that banned someone accused of being physically abusive from speaking publicly for a year. It had a sister law preventing those accused of verbal abuse from speaking, and had already been repealed. Her and her lawyer submitted the claim to the judge to use this law to prevent him from being able to tell his side of the story at the start of GG. The judge granted it, without having listened to the boyfriend. Days before the year was up, they revoked the order. He wasn't able to sue about the false claim, or the abuse of law until the one year was over, and since the order was cancelled just before, he couldn't do anything. She used this year to set the narrative.
When the boyfriend finally was able to speak, he showed text conversations with her, where she prevented him from working with other women, because she was uncomfortable, and that she "wouldn't do it to him." She proved that wrong when she cheated on him with 5 journalist during a GDC weekend. This, and many other parts of his text conversations with her showed that she is an extremely flawed person, that worries others will do exactly what she would. She projects.
Quinn is behind two successful kickstarters that earned about $80,000 each. One was to create a game jam, after causing a professional TV program where indie studios competed in game jams to fail. The other was a homoerotic visual novel with photographs of guys wearing animal masks. The only thing that can be considered an update about either was a twitter post she made while she was in Japan that she ran out of money.
Quinn created the Crash Override Network (or CON), which was publicly supposed to be a non-for-profit helping victims of online abuse. She received donations through Sarkeesian's non-for-profit. It didn't help a single victim. One reportedly went to them for help, but was laughed at. It turned out to just be a chat site for doxxing when the logs were dumped. The public page still said coming soon when it closed. Ian Miles Chong was one of the people in the logs, and validated them.
and the con was the network... just what she named it.
