Most of the pay info is public records, but no one there remembers John/Brianna so he probably wasn't even an unpaid intern. Someone would remember someone as unstable as John/Brianna.

I can't stand how fucking smug Brianna is. And what's worse is that she has absolutely no reason to be so high and mighty. Her one and only game- which she barely actually contributed to in terms of coding/technical aspects- is mediocre at best and unplayable schlock at worst. Her one and only claim to fame is being a victim of GamerGate, and even now people barely look at her; she'll be forgotten about in seconds once it's over. And yet she acts like she's a respected authority in the gaming industry and that everyone should listen to her and do whatever she says. She has one of the biggest cases of "small name, big ego" I've ever seen.

Like I said, poster child for "Smug Snake"

Speaking of, if that white house job isn't a lie (and even if it is really) then it was probably some really, REALLY insignificant shit like garbage collector or something, as said, a Smug Snake vastly overestimates their importance.

The beautiful part, my dear Cosmos, is that she's going to run herself directly into a wall. She's locked down comments on her steam page because she can't handle criticism worth a damn and in the arena of open debate, she goes down in flames. She got BTFO by Hotwheels, for fuck's sake. Most people by now realize that Wu's an attention whore on a level that makes Zoe Quinn look restrained by comparison. The Gloria Tesch of gaming, if you will.

Best case scenario, Wu pays off enough people or sockpuppets hard enough to earn her the Dear Esther treatment, where her game's flamed by the bulk of a userbase but still has enough positive feedback from people who did like it and enough faggotry behind it to get it over the bar. But all of that counts on one thing:

Internet critics not utterly eviscerating Revolution 60.

It will only take a handful - and that's if the first-stringers don't say a damned thing (they will). One case of the likes of TotalBiscuit taking a single pot-shot at it. One dose of it being glanced at by Angry Joe. One single second of being on PewDiePie's show, or one nanosecond of being glanced at by Boogie. Even a few second-string Youtubers locking onto Revolution 60 will do, and from there, Wu's game is mocked on a level reserved for Day One: Garry's Incident. Wu's already false-flagged to drum up attention for herself - do you think the likes of Penny Arcade hasn't noticed? And the beautiful part: Wu's hated by the Antis, too. They'll happily feed ammo to Neutrals and Pro-GGers just to be rid of Wu's bullshit.

It's going to be fucking amazing.

Wu can't silence the entire internet. As much as she'd like to. The tubernets are going to leave Revolution 60's asshole in ruins.

I don't think she'll ever be forgotten. She'll always be remembered, just not in the way she hoped. GG will likely die off slowly since there's no way to stop it other than lack of interest. Wu will notice when that happens and latch on to something else. She will most likely target "peers" in the industry next. She's already talking shit about someone just because they covered a child getting bullied instead of her story so we're not that far from her shitting in the industry she claims she loves. The PAX east thing is a stunt, a stunt Wu herself can't even pull off without her ego affecting it. "My studio is too afraid to go! However here are the panels I will be speaking at!"

She's on the road to making herself a complete pariah and established lolcow.

Brianna Wu was just on TV here talking about the PAX shit. Sorry for shit-tier quality video. I recorded it on my cell phone and cropped out photos of my family on both sides of the television stand. I really have no opinion on GamerGate or whatever the fuck though. I just think the character designs are funny.

WTF? She looks like Peter Steele in drag.

I'm sorry, I know, that was pretty mean... Steele was way badass.

Andy McNamara (Gamer Informer's editor-in-chief) is calling out Wu on her bullshit. First she started shit with Ethan James Petty, then with Mark Kern, and now this. I think that it won't be long before she finds out that all her bridges to the mainstream game industry have been burned. With that being said, I'm not quite sure if her place inside the gaming journos/SJW pundits/indie devs clique is in jeopardy yet. Will they too cast her out eventually?
 
You know, given all the crazy Wu has spewed, the most idiotic bit that will stand out as the most insane for me is how Wu insists she's crusading for women in the tech industry.

Given what we've seen, that's about as stupid as that part in Sonichu where Chris insisted a female Sonichu (I think it was Rosechu) was "stripping for women's rights"
 
I love the bumlicker describing Brianna as 'chaotic good'

Jaime Lannister is chaotic good, Brianna is more like Ramsey Snow, chaotic evil.

Man, fuck that shit with the GI EIC. "waaaa, a kid is getting bullied but he has it sooo much better than i dooooo". How fucking selfish of her- a kid is getting bullied, but her bullshit self-martyrism is soooo much more important. She's like Chris, but Chris has more empathy and less of an ego.

Pfff, Brianna is Rhaegar Targaryen, she does not know how to pick her fights.

Nah, man, Rhaegar was chill as shit and apparently a great guy despite being the Mad King's son. She's more Viserys- a selfish, arrogant bastard that thinks they're far smarter than they really are and are only interested in their own gain that pisses off someone far, far scarier than them.

Wonder if who'd be the Khal Drogo in the situation.

Lol, I made a mistake in that post. I was actually referring to Viserys but didn't remember his name, so I did a google search to see who was Daenerys's brother and accidentally got the wrong Targaryen kid.
