Maybe they chose shitty people (Zoe)?

Well Border Town had acquisitions of sexual harassment which led to the artists leaving despite anyone looking into it. DC just choose to "listen and believe"while claiming they'd look into it after the book was cancelled. The Jesus book was cancelled because religious nut jobs bitched and moaned about it. I'd love to know the real reasons why the other comics got cancelled. Poor sales figures don't cut it when they have books that sell worse.

They used to release them around the 2nd week of the month and now they release them towards the end of the month, I don't know the reason why. But I will post them when they're available.

This was very strange to me and I think there was something else going on. The creators seemed very passionate about the project, and it seems like it would make more sense just to replace the writer rather than cancel the whole comic.
Here is an Entertainment Weekly article which sums it up for anyone who wants a synopsis on the scandal.

IMO Border Town is worthless for marketing if they don't have the muh diversity author. It's all about having a diversity figurehead to trot out in front of a news camera.
 
Zoe was on the receiving end of some absolutely brutal cyberviolence today from two so-called "progressives".

First off is Katie Herzog of The Stranger:

http://archive.is/sNc9W

"I missed this drama last week but if you recall that Gamergate article that pissed everyone off for some reason? It's now been replaced by an apology

And the author stepped down from his magazine

Here's the original piece. I had to get someone to explain why it was offensive and it still didn't seem offensive. https://web.archive.org/web/20190206075702/https://www.escapistmagazine.com/v2/2019/02/05/how-do-we-finally-talk-about-ethics/ … "

And Jesse Singal sided with all the Gamergate trolls here:

http://archive.is/eU962

"I can't believe @EscapistMag pulled down this article entirely. There is more at stake than this particular firestorm. When you normalize the idea that internet outrage can get an article unpublished, you are screwing over writers everywhere."

Shameful.
 
I'm not 100% sure if this Jesse Singal tweet is a joke or not, but if he's serious, good for him:

"I'm writing about that Escapist article that got unpublished please do my job for me and send me the angriest tweets about it from people with platforms"

http://archive.is/dfGv2

Someone else asked: "Can you explain what was even offensive about it, because I don’t get it. Is literally any consumer gripe involving a video game a hate crime now?"

Jesse replied: "think it has to do with the fact that escapist was seen as pro-gg, and plus pitts didn't help himself by responding snarkily to a zoe quinn critique on twitter. but end of day internet outrage is internet outrage"

He has a newsletter, it’s probably not for a major publication.
 
Hey kids, it's that time of year again. As we look forward to the end of a month of February we can't just forget the fact we can now celebrate the "Your FMV game is late". How late? Only two years, no biggie. Or, 847 days since it was announced. If you divide the amount she got by the days you get the nicely (almost) round value of $100.

The financial wall of shame abides.

It's interesting that when you add it all up, only 1 in 5 backers resides in one of those big liberal cities. 4 out 5 backers are in smaller suburban areas or just scattered around in bumfuck nowhere/EU/the outback I guess.

They’ll never see that game. It’s ok, they gave their money to the most harassed woman in history in gaming and that made them feel good about their sad, pathetic lives.

Physical copies of Zoe's book are going for 15%-35% off. A non-signed CGC copy of the first issue is $38.24USD and it's 15% off. I rarely see an actual CGC comic drop in price like that, they tend to get removed and then put back up with a new price.

CGC'ing Goddess Mode #1 already? Stupid and desperate. What a dumb speculator's market we live in.

It's expected to crash by 2022. Comic book movies have drawn out for as long as possible so prices on comics are expected to drop drastically. The current costs of comics doesn't help either (New comics here can be $5 - $7.5).
