"despite him not reviewing her games" The people he directly managed wrote 2 reviews. Stop pushing a lie. The issue here acdha is that you failed to check.

Dude, it’s been almost 7 years, full of widely-recognized dishonesty and bad faith arguments by GamerGaters and fellow travelers. What do you think you’re going to accomplish by trying a new variation of an old claim conspicuously made without any evidence? Do you really think anyone is going to believe it, much less say it excuses what happened?

  No one at the time ever claimed that the articles didn't exist, as you could just read the articles in question. It was a revisionist lie added 6 to 8 months after the events. Since you didn't bother to read the articles, there were 2 seperate articles both about Indie games in general. They both had sections on Depression Quest and both used Depression Quest for all the article's images. One of them at the bottom had a single hashtag #DepressionQuest on it. Both written by Nathan Grayson's subordinates. Obviously, this isn't any different than large publishers giving the gaming journalists huge sacks of money, which they do. The problem was it escalated out of control into the gaming journalists writing hit pieces on the gaming community as part of their damage control. I'm sorry acdha but 7 years ago you were duped by hit piece articles.

    "Duped by hit piece articles"?!? That might be relevant, IF it in any way any way excused all that followed. I'm sorry, "ReflectedImage1", but looking at it from the other side it looks like this: Seven years later, you're still defending the indefensible, citing some irrelevant bullshit to excuse the inexcusable. Your comment certainly was revealing, but not in the way you probably hoped.
