You play as someone with depression.....and the whole game has no point, everything you do and don't do doesn't change your depression, or even anything at all, it's like walking in circles just because. Oh, and the cause of depression? None. The character you play as has a pretty good and normal life, not some cruel hell that would justify the depression. Literally, it's "Being depressed for the heck of it".

2. Also, although on this part I don't truly remember so take it with salt, wasn't Zoey the catalyst for the whole Gamergate happening?

3. @Bespectacled: 1 journalist? Who never reviewed her game? I have a feeling you don't know shit about the situation. Do not defend her unless you do.

4. Especially considering you can get death threats if you do. 1. You don't know much about depression, do you? You don't have to have experienced some awful trauma in your life to become depressed, you can live an ordinary, regular life and still feel miserable everyday and still not feel anything and still want to die. I haven't played the game but I have gone through depression, and it does sound like a very accurate and true-to-life depiction of it.

2. That is true.

3. No, that is what happened. The journalist in question had briefly covered some event she had been involved in, for one reason or another they fell in love and had an affair, and when her boyfriend found out, he (falsely) accused her of sleeping with the journalist in order to get more media attention for her game. Everything else is vicious fabrication and unfounded rumour.

4. I'm not going to be some fucking coward about this. Everything that happened to her was completely unjust. Even if the bullshit was true and she had slept with a thousand journalists to get good reviews, she didn't deserve to get doxxed and have death threats sent to her. I'm sick of this attitude of silence that those fucking whiny, childish, bolshy, spineless, boorish Gamergate misogynists insist that you have to take, else some fucking 4chan psychopath will threaten you with an attempt on your life. Fuck that, and fuck them. Zoe did nothing wrong.
