How about "What the fuck are you doing, you cunt? You just spent 30 minutes to write eight tweets at game devs because they did something no one else cares about."
Besides, sites like Reddit are cancer for AMAs because people could just downvote genuinely good questions into oblivion, so it makes sense to do AMA on more, dare I say, OPEN platform?

More people would also go to a chan site over Reddit because of that too. Reddit mods and it's communities are trash because of the amount of stuff that just "disappears". Sites like Resetera are just too toxic and useless to a game developer because it's just a hive of SJW circle jerking over their moral fetishes.

THQ posting on 8chan causing Chelsea, resetera, and the heh gamers crowd to shit themselves is exactly what I needed during these final cold months before spring.

Yup, a bit over the avarage drop rate (53%):

Circling back to the comic, let's say issue 3 checks in between 6000-7000 units. It's obviously not a big success, but how bad off is it? How many issues is it likely to go at its current trajectory?

Asking because I have no clue about the current comic market and the business behind it. I'd prefer it crash and burn so I can laugh at Chelsea, but I'd like a realistic take on its outlook.

Well here are the others, none of them are doing well:

Oh hey! She has the biggest dropoff out of all of these. At least she's number one at something.

EDIT:
Quick guide to these graphics:

1. Units: Ranking of Est. Units of that month.
2. Dollars: Ranking of $ made during that month.
3. Est. Units: Estimate of issues sent to shops. NOT SALE NUMBERS.

With DC expecting to can up to 2/3s of their line I expect it to go to issue six then get cancelled.

And they are not selling. I checked my local comic shop the other day. Not only are there unsold copies of issue 1, I don't think a single copy of issue 2 (of eight or so on shelf) actually got sold, and there were like two copies of issue 3 total. The numbers are in, and the book's pretty much doomed.

It's funny and amusing seeing them flip out over something stupid, but then you realize they sustain their online personality careers by drumming up outrage over the established boogeymen, and it becomes less amusing. Let's be honest, dry seasons harm these people way more than dramas.

Other issues already out? I missed that, expected it to take another year with how fast she works, were they as uninteresting and drenched with that Zoe brand unfunny zanyness as first one?

It was contracted to go to Issue #6 from the get-go as far as the initial story arc, with a collected 1-6 as a trade paperback(possibly hardcover? I doubt it, usually reserved for higher end IPs) once all 6 are released. The run to issue 6 is pretty much guaranteed as long as there isn't a significant scandal with Chelsea(sexual harassment killing off Bordertown early) or the sales are abnormally low. It's selling badly, but Goddess Mode isn't misbehaving in the market and should quietly disappear on its own.

Chelsea also hasn't been crowing about any renewals or future story arcs, so you can safely bet there's no gas left in the tank for Azoth story ideas.

Came in here to ask if it was true that Quinn was part of the instant 0 to batshit level of fake outrage against THQ Nordstrom over their AMA, and was not disappointed. Guess that comic book really did bomb, eh?

Someone on twitter said she was organizing it on her Slack / Discord.

Jake Alley was too, it really exploded spectacularly on multiple cows and threads.

I remember when Tim Soret got buzz at E3 last year and Zoe Quinn was on his ass within minutes. Turns out she had a dossier on him because he was pro-GG and she was just waiting for him to achieve any form of success so she could knife him in the back.

Since then I guess he's been fucked over by a whisper campaign and The Last Night might not be released because of it? Clearly, what he needed to do is make his game in twine and include some trannies.

It wouldn't surprise me if she had a dossier on THQ Nord, too, since they bought that Kingdom Come dev a few months back. They were so fucking mad he wouldn't put diversity hires in his game about 13th Century Poland.

I still have no idea how the hell Zoe Quinn has so much pull in the games industry. I'm guessing she can suck a golfball through a garden hose.

I remember seeing Tim Soret talk twice in thread, but only listed him once in the index; her first tweets about him are on page 267, but she chimed in on his difficulties in funding in 2018 at some point too. Probably a story that's going to repeat itself once or twice more depending on how many more times Tim gets into the media regarding his game.

Because alot of the indie people and "game journalists" tend to be ex-goons. That's a trend I've noticed when looking into some of the people of interest, they tend to have a common roots and it's Something Awful. There's something to consider.

The Soret thing is a bit of a mixed bag. There's no doubt she went after him in typical Chelsea fashion and the rest of her thirsty beta-orbiters followed suit, but Soret himself has claimed (whether true or not) that the major problems with the game development is that they've run out of money or at least were struggling financially. This does not exclude any culpability from Fat Blowie Quinn because believe it or not, it can make things tricky to get investors when you have a horde of Jake Alley-esque gnomes spreading lies and slander behind your back and essentially poisoning the well because you dared to so much as look at Zoe in anything but the most positive light.

The Last Night will almost certainly come out, the only question is when, and to what degree will the escalating campaign against it harm its prospects or not.

Nice to see her #2 comic dropped solidly as expected. It’s all down hill from there. So far every Vertigo title is a disappointment, I wonder if DC is still standing behind Andy Khouri? He’s completely fucked this up.

On the Tim Soret stuff, he hasn’t publicly stated much about what’s going on. Sounds like he lost financing and is trying to secure more. I have a feeling he’ll find someone eventually because the cult of Soc Jus doesn’t have much sway with VCs.

Funny how the SJW crowd gets very upset when big studios lay-off people but is totally fine witch hunting someone and fucking over their employees because their boss said “the wrong thing”. Tim Soret never did anything wrong, he’s been pretty open about being for equality, feminism, egalitarianism etc. the latter being a no no among the “kill all white males” twatter idiots.

Her comic wll get shitcanned after 6 issues, then Chelsea will claim that "I wasn't cancelled, it was planned to be a 6 issue mini series the whole time!"

 

[Pumpkin Girl IRL]

Pirates and gamergater are why it didn't sell.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

I remember that the initial big push to get Tim Soret blacklisted was a bunch of faked tweets to get the war drums, and gaming journos, really going, then they later ignored the hoax and settled on "oh but he is gg..." because of some old and (IIRC) very tame tweets about gusshergash.

So they started a shit storm and labeled him a shitlord based on bullshit, but it also stuck to him.

Spoiler for images of tweets.

He finally got Matt Fraction to sign with DC, so that probably has saved his pozzed ass for the time being.

No, they'll simply do another #1 for it and do their best to bury any sales numbers for the TPB so they can do what they do at Marvel and say the TPB sales are great and justify keep it going, with constant new #1s every six month.

To be specific, if you look back at Tim Soret's twitter history and the tlr twitter history, they faked some replies from Tim that made it sound like he was pushing Eugenics and then deleted the tweets out of shame. But there is no "holes" in tlr's timeline where the replies would be. It's one long string of replies to each other, no break. In addition they fucked it up and didn't change the timestamps on the tweets so the naughty tweets are literally sent at the same microsecond of the next replies in the chain.

It was a fairly obvious F12 edit job and the media pretended to be retarded to fall for it. Don't think Quinn did it herself but one of her footslaves almost definitely did.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if THQ Nordic picked him up?
