People News Chris Avellone wins settlement after lawsuit over sexual assault accusations

[TheEntitledOne]

They cost this man a lot of money, his livelihood basically

He got paid 7 figures

6 MILLION

anyhow happy that avellone got name largely cleaned, not sure if he will manage to recover his career, but hopefully in the future the way the companies will operate is put the accused on probation until legal deliberation rather than full black listing realize we are living under a totalitarian gynocracy and tell emotional lying cunts to fuck off directly or face the same charges as the accused should they be found innocent.

Fixed that for ya...

If I'm not mistaken you could always counter-sue for defamation.

The UK has a decent and exceptionally rare legal penalty “perverting the course of justice” for making false rape accusations.

Forest Dweller ancient email:

When Infinitron asked Avellone about it during the May of Rage, he said it was a question for Chris Parker and I'm sure his management style caused all sorts of problems that made Brian want to leave, but a game story not having enough reactivity is a 100% Avellonian complaint. I can't imagine Chris "I get almost got to make Skryim" Parker or Feargus really giving that much of a damn about an RPG not being reactive enough.

Not sure why you're tagging me for this.

You rated his earlier post about Mitsoda "Citation needed".

Not sure why you're replying to me.

 

[Tramboi]

Schreier is probably waiting for Chris to be hired by Activision before writing something about this.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Still no Kotaku article. Remember, around journalists, never relax.

Get the fuck out with this shit. CA's "career" was already going in the dumpster before all this. I won't go over the incel shit about attacking women and presenting men as victims or whatever, CA is tamed as shit now and obviously won't write anything worthwhile anymore. You need to draw on obscure forces to be creative and it won't happen when you're fucking defending your "rights" in court, or presenting your past glories in magazines. It's all ruins now. The man should step far away from public view if he wants to write something ever again. Obviously he has to be feeling a shitton of frustration with this situation, even if I believe him when he cares about women's issues. How to express that frustration properly will have to be a big deal, otherwise he will just inhibit it and become a good boy and well, that's a big fucking whatever.

So Christ Avellone was exonerated - great news, but it's naive to think justice has been served. Not while those who fired him and the press that libeled him remain unscathed. But that will probably never happen. Bring on the lists though.

Edit: Oh also false accusations hurt real victims. This is the most important and damaging aspect of this whole charade! Never forget this.

The last time that I trusted a dame was in Paris in 1940. She said she was going out to get a bottle of wine. Two hours later, the Germans marched into France.

From Murder by Death, still relevant as ever.

It's undeniably the most nazi friendy forum in the gaming sphere tbh

The most? lol no, not even close.
Codex has an undeniable reactionary character to it though, I see nothing wrong with what was said.

I don't think it is fair to say that Resetera is the most nazi-friendly forum tbh.
While the codex is nowhere close to it in that regard, some people here have pretty extreme opinions too, but at least you can like speak against them and all that jazz.

Edited for clarity

Codex is not "nazi-friendly", it is "anything-tolerant" because it has almost nonexistant moderation. That has good and bad sides to it. But considering every other forum on the net is heavily moderated, codex is refreshing, even if it brings higher amount of eyerolling as a result.

Sorry, did you just call the moderators... how do you call it... "cucks", in their face?!

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Is it justice when he remains blacklisted though?

If Chris Avellone remains black-listed, he won't have any excuse for not completing his memoirs:

I know the word lost all meaning now, but man

 

[Tao]

Good for him but a settle is pretty much meh for all the damage their kind did/does. it's not a detriment for future behaviour precisely.

 

[ropetight]

So much pronouns on this screenshot.

 

[HumanTotemPole]

Mashallah

 

[ropetight]

"nazi-friendly RPG forum"...

I did notsee that coming

 

[Sherry]

Hi.

omg. OMFG! wtf!

Taylor Epperly? omg bahaha okay. OKAY! I "heard" that while visiting UbiSoft Toronto she decided to bike to the Toronto office off Wallace Avenue from where she was staying when she came to the city after visiting Montreal and got her bicycle tires stuck in the tracks on the west side of the building. She seems the type of person who would blame the Italian Immigrants who laid down the tracks for not making them larger so her bicycle would not get stuck when she visited in 2019. I have no way to confirm this rumour.

Big FU to to John Epler and Patrick Weekes. These who couldn't write themselves out of a corner of an open paper bag.

Thanks,
Sherry

Wow, it's like the George Floyd trial for grogs!

Anyways, my dad works at Mobile Games and he said that Dark Avellone is going to be working on the upcoming chinese mobage Punishing Grey Raven 2.

He's going to be writing this character

I actually seem to recall one of the biggest moderation pushes was against Nazis. Didn't DU have some thread titled "Listen you Nazi fucks" or something when he took over from VD, saying that this was a lightly moderated gaming forum but that he was happy to do a widespread purge if people stepped too far out of line?

Imagine a Troubleshooter sequel with Chris Avellone writing.
