Well, the list of her deeds is certainly impressive.
Its weird though why people don't care as much when bigger companies pull such shit.
My current favorite internet drama is about PGI/IPG of Mech Warriors Online/Transverse "fame".
Most of it can be read here
http://themittani.com/content/traffic-c ... nsreversal .
Highlights:
-PGI crowdfounds MWO, gathers millions of dollars, fails to deliver a dynamic star map where people fight over plants for 2 years after official release and 5 deadlines, while shitting out more and more mechs for people to buy including 500$ golden mechs.
-As people get angrier they ban more agressively negative comments on their forum. At the end you even get banned on their forum if you talked negativly about MWO on facebook or other third party sites.
-Publisher IPG that allegidly was founded by the same people who founded the devloper PGI keep selling founder packages for Mech Warrior Tactics event though the third party developer team stopped working on it for months without anyone knowing, until one day the website goes into infinite maintance mode.
-Not yet happy with the amount of unfinished games and angry customer they have, PGI announces Transverse, a space sandbox MMORPG not unlike Star Citizen. All experienced people get drawn off of MWO and replaced by a new, unexperienced team.
-The complete PGI team gets shadowbanned on Reddit, as they created the Transverse subreddit and moderate it like their forum, deleting all negative comments. Comments on their videos get disabled, videos get reuploaded to reset downvotes by angry MWO players.
-PC Gamer praises Transverse just as it praised MWO, even though there hardly any info out and the development team does not exactly have a good track record.
-PGI said they could have used the Wing Commander license and decided against it, but EA denies ever giving them the rights.
-Transverse pledge currently horribly failing, even after they halved the minimum amount needed after the first days.
They are not that unsimiliar to Zoe Quinn, although luckily they lack the influental connections:
Misuse of money
Silencing of critics
People defending PGI/MWO are often called white knights, while people attacking Quinn are "gamers". Maybe because Quinn got the vocal majority as in gaming press on her side while the critical community has the vocal majority in MWO.
Lots of lies for their benefit
Manipulation of Gaming Media
Maybe with Kickstarter games failing to deliver and the already known corruption in gaming media, there is just nothing really interesting anymore with what PGI/IPG does.
That game dev woman having affairs to promote her own games just is a much more interesting story, no matter how much damage it caused in the end (Is it known how much money she earned?).
Bonus Section:
I read about 4chan and their actions like "free bleeding".
So Quinn being a woman certainly might have helped with the shitstorm.
The Quinspiracy and Gamergate are really hard to discuss without knowing exactly everything that happened, in addition to knowing what is truth and what not.
