It was the positive PR those writers spun, the denial of any wrongdoing, and the subsequent censorship of any fucking person who even remotely tried to question it.
Literally. All. They. Had. To. Do. Was come clean about Zoe sucking them off and allow people to discuss it, and it all would have went away in days. But every last place people tried to have a discussion about it, be it Cracked, Reddit, even FUCKING 4CHAN was endlessly censored, in the case of the latter by that faggot Alex Lifschitz who was a man on the inside.
What naturally happened was the Streisand Effect times a million.
Maybe not that week, I figure they'd still get called out for all the collusion, lies, and agenda pushing bullshit sooner or later even without "Zoe Quinn"
The Gamejournopros email list was already years old by then, and they were getting less and less subtle about hating their audience every day it continued.
Why not? Just call the bitch a whore and admit that you'll sell your integrity for mid tier pussy. Not much to lose and the gains are getting to call a woman a whore and knowing that more companies will be sending their cocksucking sluts after you for positive press.
Not even saving face, but trying to invert reality. They want to be able to always have their way, regardless of what the rest of reality has to say about it.
I think an art school (((bimbo))) who learned a tiny bit of HTML trying to promote her 'work' through any means necessary isn't the issue. It was the 'authority' who then, when already caught in an ethical mishap, came down on everyone full colonial style.
The Fourth Estate undone itself, one seam at a time. #NotYourShield showed that their narrative of hateful white spotty virgins living in their parent's basements was wrong, but double down they did - all of them, in a coordinated effort.
The Guardian, high off their ethical killing off of 'The News of the World' for their illegal phone tapping vcrimes, exposing the unethical work Edward Snowden had exposed the US intelligence services had been doing and trying to protect Julian Assange, who had to hide in the Ecuadorian embassy in London after withdrawn false 'rape' allegations against him from Sweden would have been used to extradite him to the US, decided to drop their ethics and put out a statement to their staff to defer to whatever Leigh Alexander would say on the topic of 'Gamergate'.
All of these outlets were involved in the GamesJournosPro leak, showing collusion across the press and into the Fifth Estate with outlets like Reddit and 4Chan implicit in censorship (Bonus points for knowing who u/MaxwellHill and u/StoneTear are!). 'Correct The Record', 'The Basket of Deplorables' and shadowbanning on Twitter while 'Learn to Code' and 'Build your own Twitter' became commonly used terms between #HeforShe and #MeToo.
Then we got the self-immolating trannies, covid, BLM and J6.
Gamegate wasn't were this started, but it turned a whole bunch of eyes onto it.
Thinking that the world of gaming could be controlled like the music scene of the 1960s was the were they went wrong. The largest entertainment business on the planet wasn't ready to be tapped into for 'Manufactured band' releases (As can be seen by everything SBI related) and spinning polarising narratives has gotten Trump elected, twice - with a stolen election in the middle.
So yeah, Zoe Quinn was unknowingly the spark to the kindling, but there was plenty of faggots already there just ripe to go up in flames. Us noticing this risk to humanities well-being is what helped get us to where we are today. And if our detractors could ever step back from their coping and seething, maybe we could work on a resolution to all of this.
StoneTear is/was Paul Combetta. Hilary Clinton's IT guy who asked Reddit how to do some questionable antics on a server he was working on with some "VIP" people who needed to disappear.
It just goes to show that you don't fuck with people who will spend years repeatedly doing an unachievable task, above and beyond their duties to family and work, to get a shiny special e-toy cosmetic upgrade to show they've done it.
The Democratic party and their ilk should have just left us to vidya, but ego gotta learn what hubris is.
Quinn blowing a few nerds wasn't ever a big deal (except for her relationship). It became the biggest deal in the world at the time because of the incredible forces which were wielded against anyone perceived to be even peripherally related to the event. They even had a special session of the United Nations to specifically deal with Quinn's problems.
Seeing 4-fucking-chan bending the knee and censoring over this of all things when literally nothing else was censored was a big eye opening moment for a lot of us.
The domino chain of cause and effect is so absurd that I can barely believe it and I've been sitting here watching it play out for over a decade. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
Repeated positive coverage without disclosure of personal relationship*.
Nathan Grayson didn't actually publish a review of Depression Quest only positive coverage of it, and never disclosed in the articles where he promoted Quinn that he was intimate with her.
The utter absurdity of wokies pretending that Grayson was not intimate with Quinn enough to warrant disclosing their relationship, despite being thanked in the credits of the choose your own text adventure.
I love knowing this factoid of information because it will become more and more niche but will become a way of instantly identifying like minded people.
The sexual favors weren't the problem.

They wouldn't have had to come clean if they didn't trade sexual favors for positive press.

I'm saying it is incorrect to try to absolve the whoring.
And it wasn't even pussy, it was just a knob slobbing.
Save face at all costs. They will gladly scorch the earth if it means saving their manufactured pristine image.
Not even saving face, but trying to invert reality. They want to be able to always have their way, regardless of what the rest of reality has to say about it.

Leftism is always the same. They'd rather destroy a continent than stop lying.

They're psychologically incapable of leaving well enough alone. It's that compulsion of theirs that have driven events over the last 10+ years.
Add a zero.

MaxwellHill is Ghislaine, right? Dont recall StoneTear though.
Yup Ghislaine was/is MaxwellHill.
StoneTear is/was Paul Combetta. Hilary Clinton's IT guy who asked Reddit how to do some questionable antics on a server he was working on with some "VIP" people who needed to disappear.

GamerGate was the first topic ever banned from discussion on OG 4chan.
