Indie Dev Accused of Exchanging Positive Press for Sex

regardless of her guilt, she probably doesn't deserve having her whole family doxxed and house spammed with threats over the phone. people are literally trying to ruin her life over a review for a free game.
She's really good at playing the victim as evidenced by your post.
Yet no outcry when she was doxxing an organization that actually helps women developers, dragged them thru the mud and blacklisted them using her journalistic connections for no other reason than SJW.
 
I still completely fail to understand the distinction between corruption via sex and corruption via money when it comes to the rabbit hole that is gaming journalism's flaws.

In the end you get pretty much the result you wanted. Is it really that terrible if you don't have the requisite plumbing vs not having the requisite cash?
 
Manipulation is still manipulation, and keep in mind that if she "Engineered this" it was to make her look bad, but everything used to make her look bad would make ANYONE look bad if they behaved like that.

And then she goes "Oh its just a ruse I published all this hate stuff about me on purpose so I could show that sexism exists" not only will people be pissed that she on purpose put things on the internet about her that was fake that would make anybody look terrible, they would hate her for the fact that she was manipulating everyone again for her own goals.

No you misunderstood me. When I said imagine a scenario where she fabricated this, I mean when she unleashes to the world she's going to only show how there were lies about her, not that she fabricated the whole story. She won't tell anyone that she pushed the hate, she'll just soak up the attention when she gets the pity side of things for being "attacked" so harshly.
 
And a discussion about games by a female once again devolves into a discussion about what said female looks like.

Nice job, pigs.
There was a discussion about games? I thought this was a discussion about how sexual favors were used by a woman to buy favorable reviews. SEXUAL favors BY A WOMAN.

So please get off your high horse and realize that going to looks isn't exactly too far off the topic at hand.
 
The real tragedy, is that enough people give a damn about reviews from these schmucks, that she thought it was worth it to give up the vag to influence them.

Hmmm, how would a feminist view this?
It is her right to use her vag however she sees fit to her own benefit, but the men are guilty heathens for accepting said vag to give good reviews.

My view. Who cares, it's her vag to sell, and if the reviewers integrity is the currency, it's theirs to buy that vag with.
 
What's the point of being a reviewer if you can't get something out of it (i.e. gear, games, or some "playtime")?
 
No edit, but after reading the blog of Zoe's ex I think it's fair to say that the two douches deserved each other and exactly what both of them got.

I don't completely agree with you, but I love the post, thought provoking in a off kind of way.;)

You're right.... but then, are you okay with bribing? It's their legislature (or integrity, really) to sell, and dollars or favors is the currency.

As for condemning her... yes, definitely. Also the reviewers who accepted too, obviously. She's still the center of it, however, more so when she tries to paint herself as the victim. There are real victims out there...
 
From a matter of legality the reviewers in question would need to disclose that they given a copy of the game or money or sexual naughty bits as per FCC regulations. Now that is something that's on the side of the reviewer though, the maker has no legal requirement to disclose that she bought the review or what not.
 
I think it's weird that RPS is left out of the article. Sure it's a smaller site, but the connections between these individuals come from there. The fact that Grayson departed suddenly for reasons unknown, a month ago, seems suggestive.

The entire thing is unprofessional and we don't even need to get into how hypocritical it is of the particular individuals involved.

In the game review industry whether I am OK with bribery or not seems sort of pointless. I am under the assumption that most reviewers are bought and paid for. This case is only different because sex was involved. Or rather,because we found out sex was involved. But, no I am not OK with bribery when it comes to any supposed journalist or public official.

Grayson left to go work at Kotaku (Gawker). I'm guessing they waved cash in front of him or something.

RPS dodged the bullet on this one, though, as Grayson was no longer employed by them when this incident came to light.
 
And yet Joe Mattingly was disgraced and forced to resign from the industry over a private message on Facebook.

Double standard much?

Zoe used sexism as an excuse to protect her subpar work. Anyone who disagrees with her of course is automatically labeled a sexist. I'm sure the feminism crowd and their lackeys will of course rush to her defense and try and spin this as angry white nerdy men trying to oppress women down and protect their home turf when it couldn't be anything farther from the truth.
 
Gods I've said this for years to people and they all look at me like I've grown another head... or three.

Because it is asinine and blatantly incorrect.

The majority of men fuck anything that will let them then won't accept responsibility for their actions. The same can be said for women. If you don't think this is correct get a job in child welfare and see how many dad's refuse to get involved with their kids lives or how many mom's keep flocking to the same type of man as before and has 6 kids by 6 different fathers.

I'd love to see "alpha" males step up to the plate and be responsible father's but that will be the day.

Well in nature, it's typically the woman's responsibility after the male impregnates. He's just there for his genes.

There are no alpha males in the low income shit you see in child welfare. Seriously.
 
Pretty crazy that she has that much juice to get reddit comments removed/modded. Crazy.
 
This what I got out of the blog:

20-something guy has a relationship with and "falls in love with" Zoe, a 27 year old, daughter of a "pathological liar" ( Zoe talks about her dysfunctional father in a chat log ). They had a 2 week, whirlwind courtship followed by him experiencing anxiety. They take a relationship break for weeks. She had casual sex with a bunch of other guys, even though previously, she had pitched him a sale that "STD testing, honesty and consent" in relationships, were important ( ie. she told him what she knew he wanted to hear ).

2 weeks? Jesus christ, this guy needs to get a grip. Not saying Zoe still wasn't a douche but...2 weeks? And this massive blog post? What a pansy.

No edit, but after reading the blog of Zoe's ex I think it's fair to say that the two douches deserved each other and exactly what both of them got.

This.

Don't disagree, but does she actually work for a real company or it's just herself running a very (very) small show?

She runs a very small show with a very large message that people are scared to stand up against for fear of being labeled a sexist and damaging their careers permanently.

ROFLMAO.....

Right, because Alpha Males are at the Welfare office.... not. :rolleyes:

Alpha Males dont need Welfare, they're the ones making 6 figure or higher salaries, AND looking out for their offspring.

Try again. :p

I agree with you but tell that to the dudes that are getting multiple chicks pregnant, or thinking they're cheating the system, etc...these guys really think they're alpha males and that was my point.

As has been stated before, alpha males often like to tap a lot of ass. There's plenty of examples of successful men that aren't always the most responsible when it comes to dealing with the consequences of this predilection.
 
Just googled her and she's a chubster with purple hair.

Of course a gaming sex scandal involves Mohawked, monitor tanned, twig guys Eiffel towering some blue haired lip ringed 5/10 girl (generous)

I'm sorry for all the SJWs out there, but she got what she deserved.

Wouldn't.

She has a huge nose and is generally quite unattractive. On the street, she wouldn't fetch more than $18 for a bj, and who would risk their career for under $20?

downloaded the nudes

6.5/10 would bang

For guys who never come out of the basement, she's a catch......

A catch? What kind of catch? I have pretty low standards, and I'm pretty sure I'd pass on catching that one. Maybe with a few (or more) drinks in me...

MMMmmmmoooooo!!! Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't burn it with fire, and I've actually done worse (still more fun than fapping), but who would actually compromise their career for below average?

What's wrong with that? She's just not that hot. Monica did look better back when she was servicing Clinton (I wouldn't have kicked her out of bed), but it looks like she's spent too much time at the trough since then.

I find her (apparently false) convictions far uglier than I ever could her looks.

Why do fat chicks dye their hair.


OK.
 
Oh my word, men talking about a woman's sexual attractiveness (or lack thereof) in a thread discussing her prostitution. What a grave social injustice we have here.

I think what he was getting at is that 100% of males in this thread would do Zoe if she would offer.
 
Unfortunately their comments do nothing but fuel the feminist bull shit wagon that boosted zoe's career.

The media just skips over the fact that all her initial harassment claims were fabricated and shouts, "Look they are doing it to her again!" now that there is actual harassment going on.
 
This isn't really about her cheating, but just about how fucked up the whole industry is. People are trying to turn this into a double standard issue or make it sexism issue. It isn't. She is part of a group of douche bags that have been using fake injustices in order to profit. There are women who are actually suffering that are overshadowing by these women and journalist, because they don't care about the truth. They are just looking to make a buck off a narrative. Personally, I could care less she cheated on her boyfriend, but it exposed a much bigger issue in game journalism that needs to be torn out like a cancer. The good news , is people just have to stop visiting sites like Kotaku and the problem will fix itself, because money is all that matters.
 
this woman took money, doxxed, abused among other things to an organization trying to help women create games. they're called The Fine Young Capitalists. theres a huge story about it if you search around.

4chan is now donating to them and supporting them as you can see on indiegogo (comments/donations page)

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-fine-young-capitalists--2#home

and also on their twitter https://twitter.com/TFYCapitalists/status/502310263904034816

Pretty unbelievable how a person can be such a disgusting human being.
 
It's pretty clear that too many gamers and game reviewers think only with their gonads. Typical men.

It's pretty clear that you're missing the point entirely.

Its not about sex at all, we don't care if she fucked a thousand guys.


but when you do it to get your game recommended everywhere, articles everywhere, and other corruption like that, that is fucked up.

also, you might want to read about how she defrauded a charitable organization, dedicated to helping women bring their game ideas to life and give some of the proceeds to charity.

I don't give a fuck if it was a man, woman, alien, transexual, tall, short, fat,skinny. its the what she did.

"typical men?" ... yeah okay. keep defending a woman stealing from other women and charities.
