If this does indeed go all the way to court and ends up being ruled in Chris' favour, I look forward to seeing how the various companies he was working with and who ostracized him following the allegations will react. Probably radio silence, although because MeToo/Cancel Culture is such effective clickbait article material and it isn't all that often these things actually do end up in court, it might get enough attention that they'll need to acknowledge it in some way.

This is the first time I’ve spoken about it in-depth. Part of the motivation for this is because it was brought to my attention that, later in 2020, Karissa started deleting a large section of her past Twitter postings, almost 60,000+ tweets.
What the fuck. That's around 20 tweets on average per day for 8 years?! Surely I'm misunderstanding something, or is she the rusty shackleford of #MeToo?
There's software to remove old twitter/discord posts in a single click.

Better late than never. Unfortunately for him, those sociapathic hags were almost unopposed in the court of public opinion.

Thanks to david cernat and others for at least a small amount of dissenting voices!

Why the fuck did he have to wait 1 year to release this? He should have defended himself from the start. This is some amorous triangle bullshit. That stupid bitch Klarissa just fucked up his career. I hope Chris has the stones to sue the bitch for ruining his reputation.

Also, fuck all the companies who blacklisted the man without knowing the facts. I will never buy any games from them.

He should have followed Angry Joe's route. The moment he talked about lawyers, the bitch that accused him started to pussy out. These bitches who want to ruin people reputations should do some time in jail. Lying about such things should not be tolerated.

Good to know he's not dead or homeless but other than that until he will go to court and take some more drastic measures besides writing on a blog that barely anyone will read I'm afraid it won't change much. Hopefully publishers will take note of this and hire him but in this clown world it probably won't be easy.
Chris, if ever you need money (whether for a court case or anything else) let people know.
IIRC he said he has enough money to last him and his kids (he might have) a lifetime.

hy the fuck did he have to wait 1 year to release this?

Because he fucked up this part:

He should have defended himself from the start.

And if you fuck up this part, any good PR specialist would advise you to wait until they more or less forget about the incident. Considering, that it is almost exactly a year (day to day), I think, that was the actual advice: wait 1 year then come out with the statement.

There was another way, of more slowly returning through the working with negative PR and paying for positive interviews & publications, but that costs a very lot of money and probably won't work in the woke culture of today.

Way too late. Though hopefully the reason he's making this announcement now is because he's returning to work on games.

Only if someone in the industry didn't give a fuck about the current political climate, could use a good writer and has fuck you money on him, could rescue his career.

Too little too late, nobody cares anymore as the vermin already took their pound of flesh.
The court will care because it will have to deal with the lawsuit. Though if Chris wins, and is vindicated, I think he'll still have trouble getting a job - but that's more to do with the entire industry turning to shit and the wokeism that's burning down America right now. He is still a straight white male after all.

Still, a solid victory might bring a bit of normalcy back and stop the "death by Twitter" band-wagoning.

hope he loses in court
You will never post in shoutbox again.

Consider your shoutboxing privileges... cancelled. :smug:

This is happening a year from the event because the statute of limitations to bring a civil suit for negligence is almost certainly 1 year. Could be longer for intentional torts like libel/defamation, but if you're going to file a suit, you do it in time to bring any claim you may have.

Chris's epic comeback reminded me of this:

Also, you gotta appreciate white male making a black woman his proverbial bitch, a scene like this wouldn't happen in current clown world.
