One hour of sperging on Apple's event. Less than 1 minute (!) on Rev60 (from 01:02:56 to 01:03:50)

"We launched Rev60, part of the reason it took so long was Gamergate. You know, they have gone to the steam reviews. Steam doesn't care. The entire thing is a nuclear nightmare."
 
John's totally correct. No hypothetical first black president in history would ever have to answer to a media feeding frenzy if he said half the population were clinging to their guns and religion. You know, for instance.
 
Dansgaming on twitch does a "Sub sunday" where subs recommend games he must play. I was kind of dimly hoping at least one kiwi was a sub and would recommend he play Rev 60? Would love to see him stare open-mouthed at the horror with a crowd of 5000+

A bit of a tangent, but that seems to be a thing with spastics of the onlines. They don't seem to understand that "not responding" means not responding, as opposed to blocking the person, downvoting, and expressing disapproval while saying you're not responding.

Whoever that is would probably flip if they heard about Wu's history of animal abuse.

That's starting to make more sense. I'm sure McBain had her shit together more than John does. Maybe her relationship with Frank began with her admiring him in a fangirly way, then as she wrote and worked to advance her career, Frank realized there was a chance that she could gain some status in the geek community that wasn't totally dependent on him, and that made him flip out. John, on the other hand, is a talentless fuckup who's completely dependent on Frank, so Frank doesn't feel threatened by him.

On the other hand, jumping into the GG conflict made John more famous than Frank will ever be. He was on national news and had a TV episode made about him. It doesn't seem like Frank got upset about that, but maybe he could see it would be a temporary thing and that John's behavior would quickly result in him falling from grace, as it did.

Still doesn't explain why Frank sat by and watched John's massive money bonfire.

John never would have gotten as far as he had if Frank hadn't propped him up every step of the way.

All the funds for the project. Frank gave them.

All the press that mattered a damn? Frank arranged it.

Damage control to mitigate the worst of the fallout? Frank provided it.

Without him, John is NOTHING, and Frank knows it, and it's hard for a control freak to be threatened by someone they know they could leave powerless at any time.

"A nuclear nightmare i can't control because Valve doesn't kowtow to my bitching"

It did not help that the Mods already knew about your reputation and tagged you has "Shithead", expect John not talking about R60 in ages and he can't even pull it out from Steam without admitting defeat

A little extra: the mod that shitted on John in the Greenlight incident was a furry, so even the most deranged person on Steam hate him

What did gobblers do that prevented John from releasing rev60? Did they drive away all of John's employees and make rev60 look like ass?

I thought all that happened because John is a talentless, tyrannical tranny.

And that's the funniest part of all, this hell is entirely of his own making.

Revolution 60 will ultimately be remembered by anyone with an ounce of good taste as a flaming bag of dogshit. Steam is the bar by which any mainstream game derives it's reputation these days, and it's a disaster that the world has taken turns shitting on further, with the reviews spelling this thing's eternal damnation.

John can't do a thing to make this better since he pissed off the Steam staff with his bullshit, so they are doing nothing to help him run from this fuckup or try to bury it, and he put so much of his ego on the line getting it onto Steam removing it will only wound him further.

And unlike SOCCON, he can't pretend this never happened, even if he deletes everything and goes to ground, because his failure has been documented far too extensively at this point, and he already cut his dick off and got a new name, that's not a trick he can pull twice to reinvent himself without people figuring it out very easily.

Most funny of all, this is the death of his claims of competence to any who had doubt. Despite all the connections and SJW virtue signaling in the world, he chose a vocation where the actual quality of your work matters, and his is terrible.

In part is because his denial to admit his troon status, does not help him, for example i noticed that the only thread that was locked in the discussions was the one @Null did, but was not deleted, because to be deleted he has to tell a moderator that he is trans, i think the moderators tried the first time then when they asked "then who is this john flynt and why it upset you?" and he did not answer then they let the trolls to wreck havoc everywhere, there are tons of post with John walker flynt everywhere and john doesn't even bother to delete or ban people for it

My theory was that he wanted to create another Greenlight incident, but he can't shut down the page without pissing of the backers, he did not even try to say "Gamergate is boycotting my game" or something in twitter because he did it so many times that no one bought it, his circles don't even tolerate him, he doesn't seem to be aware that he is now in a SJW limbo where his influence is just a tick on his twitter username

Do you think maybe Frank is enjoying this? That this could be the ultimate expression of his sadism?

He gave John miles of rope and he still couldn't help but hang himself. I think Frank pushed to get the game released partially because he doesn't want to get accused of fraud, but I wonder if he also likes seeing John squirm. He's put John in a box whose walls are closing in. Whatever he chooses, John's facing widespread ridicule and the destruction of the SOCCON creative franchise he's spent his life building. Is there any better way to torture a narcissist?

Maybe this is Frank's fetish, maybe this is what's worth half a million dollars to him. He built up "Brianna Wu" like a mile-high Jenga tower, and now he gets a front row seat to watch it come crashing down. Frank just might be the truest kiwifarmer of all.

I don't think it was exactly a bargain basement transition. Wu seems to have had not just a dick chop, but tonnes of surgery: nose job, boob job, forehead reduction, cheekbone implants, Adam's apple reduction...

Yeah, it's not that John half-assed it or wasn't willing to spend the money. For what it's worth, he did go all-in on the transition. It's just that all the reputable doctors wouldn't touch his case with a ten-foot pole because he's an obvious lunatic. He probably had to go to the doctor/butcher who did Michael Jackson's 11th, 12, and 17th nose jobs.

It seems too insane that he would forgo the chance to spend the rest of his life with a partner he genuinely cares about in order to abuse an emotional and physical trainwreck 24/7. Especially since John could technically divorce him and take half his shit (so it's not exactly like Frank could completely fuck John over). Who knows, maybe we'll have a John Flynt 'Zoe Post' that documents all manner of sadistic and degrading acts that Frank subjected him to in order to play the part of a true and honest womyn in tech.

Maybe, as the remaining veneer of legitimacy finally evaporates and John sees no point in putting up with god knows what from Frank, maybe he'll throw in the towel. I somewhat doubt it but to be a fly on the wall in that dust filled shithole they call a home would be quite a spectacle I'm sure.
