Then you didn't look at it that deep because it's generally agreed that what started the saga was a jilted boyfriend of a woman who created a video game accused a publication of giving her game a favorable review because the reviewer slept with her.

The entire accusation is bunk because it wasn't even the person accused of that didn't even review the game.

I looked plenty deep enough. That series of events is a very very dishonest and incomplete attempt at re-framing the whole issue and all the people involved.

I have very little to do generally with games, but I've had a similar situation (but at a much smaller scale) where people have claimed bullying (no such thing happened) after basically upsetting a large number of the group.

I am also old enough and seen enough scandals play out similarly in other spheres of the media. I have actually been at an event and the media mis-represented what happened. So I wouldn't trust a journalist as far as I can throw them.
