Flynt calling himself an engineer is funny. At best he's an amateur programmer and that's being generous.
Did he even finish his degree in journalism?

And Wu is not exactly a great example at getting things done, either.

You know, like the Steam release of Rev 60.

This has to be one of the most sickening things that asshole has done yet.

Starting shit with someone, turning a lynch mob on them, then offering fake sympathy when they are dying to give yourself good PR....you have to be one depraved bastard to do that shit without any guilt.

Wu is fascinating, each time I think Wu can't possibly sink any lower as a human being...

Snarl-tic totally confirmed. 3 times in 20 min, just on camera. It seems to happen whenever she stops talking.

Also, not a single thing Wu says about female gamers applies to me. I don't know where she is getting her info beyond her own opinions. I don't have the opportunity to game as much as I did in my 20s working a 9-5 corporate job, but my tastes are still the same. I like CoD, Borderlands, AC. Not because I want to dominate other people and WIN, but because I can play those games with my family and friends. I enjoy the social interaction that a lot of other single player games do not provide.

I have to stop wasting my lunch breaks like this...

This interview... If I would've gotten a Euro for each time I thought 'bullshit!' or 'what?', while listening to that, I could no afford a nice apartment - in Dubai. Another thing that sticks out like a sore thumb - again - is that Wu hasn't got any numbers to talk about. Her entire arguments move like this:

"This thing is really bad. It was even worse in the past, but now it is a little bit better - but still not good enough, ya'know. The group I am speaking for wants less of that thing and more of that other thing. There is more than one factor to this, ya'know. Now, because I can't really bring up these factors, I will speak about something tangential, that does nothing to answer the question and or topic at hand - ya'know. There are differences between one group and another. There is also a problem, because there are less of one group in one place, which means that the other group is not represented..."

Wu quickly turns around (or: mangles) every question asked to her and makes it about herself. The interviewer asks her about the importance of mobile gaming and women... and a few seconds later Wu is rambling about, that her 'Studio' is developing "holodeck level games" - without any hints what they are going to do. She is sperging about how great her 'next big thing' will be, as if she was some form of female Peter Molyneux.... but unlike Peter she doesn't even hint at what she is aiming for. At least he has always a somewhat decent game to show for in the end.

Her constant usage of buzzwords, is so bad and feels so 'hollow', it actually reminds me of 1990's hacker movies: "We need to set up more firewalls, so the trojan horse can't eat our network files and overclock our internal servers." By now I am pretty sure, that I could do a better job than Wu in those interviews, stoned. Even if she tries to say something profound, she doesn't do a good job at this - like this 'six axis' thing she rambles on about: Why do those tell her, that women want a VR-romance novel? Where are men and women positioned on those axis? How does she leap from this to "developing a technology that reads emotions"? What has this technology to do with VR? Because, you don't need a headset for this, just a webcam. What are these six axis in the first place, she only named two or three?

We will never know.

Her answers are not only disjointed from the questions themselves, but from reality all-together. She is like a student in an oral exam, who didn't prepare shit and now puts on a fake smile and rambles on about whatever comes to his mind, in the hope he might say something correct.

I have rarely seen a person talk so much and say so little.

Toying around with Topsy, I found this.

I might interpret things wrong, but during the last 30 days or so, from ~500 tweets, John only tweeted about Revolution 60 8 times, and last tweet relevant to Revolution 60 is on the last of September. Curious..

Either one of two things:

1. By not tweeting about R60, Wu hopes that the complete opposite of what the entire past year was supposed to acomplish (making R60 a widely discussed and supported game by slapping feminism all over it) will happen and people will forget all about it, thus when the deadline passes with nothing but some slightly modified models to show off, nobody's really going to care. Or so Wu might think.

2. The writing is on the wall and Wu is desperately trying to do everything in their power to avoid the impending shitstorm's full strength - trying to port it over to Android out of the blue, this massive sudden focus about going to all these events in a short amount of time (especially how Google has been mentioned somewhat often in the past few months), something about Occulus support(?), and that choice tweet about burning out laptops every so often due to the rendering needs even though at the time of the tweet Wu can't possibly have been driving a macbook to the breaking point while on a plane. Excuses, alternatives, distractions, and all the things inbetween - whatever is necessary to try and get off the hook for not actually meeting a long standing requirement.
