Yeah I was very disappointed in her that she didn't realize that. And while its been awhile since we've spoken, pretty sure she never did. Like many she'd probably still say to this day that the cause was corrupted. Even though the thing that got her on board was Eron's letter. She just somehow thought Eron's letter was a righteous callout of unethical activities.
I love it because even if you think the letter was right and accurate and described such an ethical breach, it would be on the journalists, not Quinn. The fact that they went right for Quinn was always the smoking gun for me
Yeah, this is accurate. There was always left-wing critiques of games journalism going on (or industry journalism in general), but when the whole GG thing started, those arguments were only ever used in bad faith to excuse absolutely atrocious behavior, and not ever go after the people actually committing the real journalistic fraud i.e. regular-ass games journalism.
