@kandoh @argv_minus_one @gwensnyder That's a pretty succinct description. They didn't care that their initial assumptions were entirely baseless and used the same excuse long after it was fully debunked. It was painful and scary, and it's not really over, just spread out among the culture war bullshit. |

Well, that's just ridiculous. Trading sex for success in the video game industry is impossible. Bad games don't magically become good just because the developer banged one reviewer. Such a scheme would instantly fall apart as soon as actual players started actually playing and talking about the game.
