#GamerGate: Depression Quest Funds May Not Have Gone To Charity?

One Angry Gamer "New information has surfaced indicating that the free-to-play, interactive browser-novel, Depression Quest may not be quite as upfront as we all thought, as new information paints the online browser title in a surreptitious light."

PinkEye3530d ago

I don't know why this article is posted as a rumor. The charities clearly stated that they are not receiving funds from the donations made to the game. This article needs to change it's status to "news".

WilliamUsher3530d ago

While that is a valid observation, the problem is that I haven't received word yet from those involved to re-confirm it.

Simply understand that running this as "news" and claiming it as "fact" would mean that Quinn would truly be in violation of committing fraud.

The silver lining is that it's possible donations could have been sent to the charities under a different name. If that were the case, labeling this story as "news" would then make it libel since the information would then be false.

I'm playing it safe to avoid any legal threats.

nX3530d ago

Good judgement there. In any case, Quinn is on a serious Depression Quest now herself.

-Foxtrot3530d ago

Her whole life is crashing down on her.

First Anita and now her, it won't be long until other shit comes out.

I suggest people keep an eye on thing with the Facebook page. Please join and show your support.

Remember this isn't about Zoe Quin, this is about corrupt games journalisms.

Might as well go to 4chan /v/, thats where most of "the happening" is coming from if you really want to be up to date by the second.

While on the topic of fraud, it looks like Anita lied about her contacting the police when she supposedly got those death threats she received (she made those herself, trying to false flag) no surprise there honestly.

Lying seems to be the thing with these ladies

This is what we're dealing with. Police saying "we have no reports of such thing" is now NOT OFFICIAL.

And then of course, she went on to bitch about how "trolls are attacking me because I said stupid shit lol anita was right!".

There's no goddamn way I'm letting morons like these shape the industry. NO WAY!

viperman2403530d ago

Yeah there is something wrong with these people.

Just look at this story about this feminist who got caught threatening herself to further her own agenda, sounds very similar to a couple we know...

So IFred responds and..... *crickets*

"Ethics" would have been posting an update regardless whether it supported one side or the other.

I would hope that if "ethics in games journalism" is indeed the main issue, that N4g wouldn't left without all the facts. Even if those facts possibly run counter to prevailing opinion.

TekoIie3528d ago (Edited 3528d ago )

I guess this is the part where all the articles about her calling the police don't get updated now right?

annoyedgamer3530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

Justice is a rarity in these times. I am glad the truth is slowly seeping out. I anticipate a large effort from the media so slow the trickle but this is where the power of community run media like N4G can prevail.

LightDiego3530d ago

These are the people that "journalists" were defending, and still defend.

Ultraplayerxp3530d ago (Edited 3530d ago )

They'll give her up once charges are brought or she does something really stupid like go crazy on social media. I call it supportive distancing.

Screw this article and that damn word. I've got a couple mental issues and it sucks, but I'm tired of all this microaggression BS. There are plenty of games with mental illness in them that do it well, just look at max payne for one example or psychonauts.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5086d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905086d ago (Edited 5086d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5086d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5086d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495086d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5086d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5086d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
