Obviously I'm glad that mainstream gaming websites are now stampeding to write lengthy denunciations of GG. But it's bittersweet for us too.
.@BenKuchera rightly pointed out that during the radio silence a lot of us took the flak instead. I hope that awareness becomes commonplace.

@Quinnae_Moon I duno. The last tweet from@BenKuchera kind of shocked me. It was very glib, considering many others were fighting while -
@Quinnae_Moon@BenKuchera the mainstream media ducked and covered. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon After Breitbart and Adam Baldwin came after me, and people threatened to SWAT me, I had a conversation... -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon ...with myself about talking to my children about what to do if the police executed a no-known warrant. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon Imagine telling your 12 year-old son how to be still so he's not shot. Please don't assume I sat this one out. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon Was I quiet because I was scared? Absolutely. 100 percent. To my great shame. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon That's been MY past two months. -
@BenKuchera@Quinnae_Moon sorry if I offended you, it's just that a lot of people were also under severe duress, and many non-GG folks.. -
@BenKuchera@Quinnae_Moon who were either devs/journos/consumers were really looking for strong leadership and support. We didn't get it. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon You didn't offend me, and I think your criticism is totally valid and fair. Thank you for it. -
@BenKuchera@vid_icarus *offers hugs* I hear you, Ben. I was grateful to hear what you in particular had to say. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon I just don't like the implication I could ignore it and sip drinks on the beach. This was on my doorstep. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon And it sucked, and the people I failed were those who couldn't stay silent and hope it went away. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon When I say a weight has lifted, I mean I'm happy to be talking about it openly instead of living in fear. -
@BenKuchera@Quinnae_Moon well spoken, and I am truly sorry you had to live that way. I recant my condemnation of you. Apologies again. -
@BenKuchera@Quinnae_Moon you've earned my respect. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon Your criticism came from a place of caring about people, and you're right in that this should have come sooner. -
@vid_icarus@Quinnae_Moon No apologies necessary, I'm just glad we could talk a bit and understand each other better.
