You misused your autism.
Couldn't you do something more productive than "exonerating" a washed out old man (who has not delivered any decent cRPGS in decades) ?
Better make some mod in kangmaker or something and contribute positively to the cRPG genre instead of consecrating this false god (Arcanum wolves never forget!)

No way I'm gonna watch that video, but good job anyway.

This just comes to show that nerd conventions should be burned down. Why go to these places crawling with journalists, PR people and other worthless parasites like these w*men "developers" who never produced anything of value but somehow everyone has to pretend they're relevant? At least don't go there to get laid, Jesus Christ.

Just make sure each party's lawyers are present during any potential sexual encounter and we won't have these sorts of issues anymore.

Besides, I hear lawyers are the sort who like to watch anyway.

Man, the dive into Karissa's constant 180's is quite illuminating. From begging god to kill her ex boyfriend's family to being a full on Birther during the Obama era. Now she's a radical leftist antifa supporter.

Also, holy shit that was a lot of drama regarding... cosplay?

Anyway, my deepest condolences to the next poor bastards she traps.

Having finished the video -- this was very well done. I don't know if making videos is your thing or not David Cernat but this flowed very well, you spoke clearly and at a good pace, and the claims were always backed up. Very noice.

MCA's former employers should be made aware of this, and that they fucked up.
I don't think it matters.

Wokism is a religion and one that all its members understand requires human sacrifice.

I also not believe his bosses were that stupid to believe those accusations but this is not how witch hunt works, if they said its BS they would be next in line for pyre Comrade, the industry needs one bored contrarian billionaire who could back his words with enough lawyers and clout to fight of the ensuring industry and utilities boycott... or better yet lobby congress to pass the public carriege laws for internet, no great chance of that but one can always hope.

Thanks for your Journalist work Comrade David Cernat and double plus thanks for pushing this disgusting freak from the Codexia front page.

The problem is less whether they personally believe the allegations and more whether they think it will damage their public relations.

Personally I think 99% of their playerbase wouldn't give a shit, but they worry that people won't buy games worked on by MCA because of the tainted reputation.

I wish corporations would have the balls to ignore these allegations and just let them die down, but that's CURRENT_YEAR for you.

Someone please distill all the relevant information into a single post. Not watching a 50 minute video.

I will reward you with a "Thank You!" rating for your efforts.

There's a good writeup about the video here, written by a fellow codexer:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stickless/..._avellones_sexual_assault_claims_against_him/

Thank you.

Where is this video mirrored? YouTube requires a sign in to view it.

You can watch it if you 'embed' it, though it will force a screen fit: https://www.youtube.com/embed/TV_xrEU5o2g

Just replace the 'watch?v=' portion with 'embed/' and it'll work.

But it lays foundations for Chris to make a statement at some point.
He just has to sit with his lawyer, say "everything was consensual at the time, now sue me or retract your accusations and be sued".

MCA was in Adelaide in 2014 not 2013. I know because I met him so that accusation is wrong. I was to understand that was his first time in Adelaide. He was however at GCAP in Melbourne 2012 (there's footage that confirms this of the talk he did there). That person from Adelaide that accused him is likely lying because her dates don't match up. Plus I know people that were with him the entire weekend and they gave no indication anything bad happened beyond a hangover the following day.

After this mess MCA has convinced me the Don't Date Within the Industry rule has to be mandatory and not just something I made up lol.

We still can do it with artists and programmers. Avoid PR and marketing people at all cost is my takeaway.
