That egg quote doesn't sound right. Is that how you meant to phrase it?

It’s the first part of this full quote [0] which I copied directly so it’s “correct” though I guess someone could argue that I’ve misinterpreted it?

if you throw another egg at my house I'm calling the cops again. The restraining order covers this, josh, and the judge isn't going to be happy.

Very much doubt that'll happen. Most likely outcome is a settlement check and a very tepid statement to undo some small amount of the damage to Mick's reputation caused by Marty's statement.

> the abuse cannon they turned towards Mick

Wait, really? There were really redditors who sided with Bethesda/Zenimax instead of the artist? That's shockingly stupid, even for reddit. I know many subreddits are filled with corporate sycophants, but even so this is shocking to me. How clueless could a gamer be to think that Bethesda/Zenimax is honest and trustworthy? Reddit must induce brain damage.

The original reddit thread is pretty painful to read, commenters taking Bethesda/Zenimax almost 100% at face value. From Mick's blog post:

> I began receiving specific expressions of violence, the content so vivid it made me sick. The torrent of abuse telling me how to kill myself, how I’d be mutilated, how they would circulate photos of my body to traumatise my family, how my family would be murdered, how they’d hurt my animals, how they’d shoot up any event I attended, how I’d be raped to death, really started to wear me down in ways I couldn’t previously imagine.

I will never understand this. I will never understand people who go that far for something so minor. It wasn't even the game, the game sound was fine, hell they used double what they paid him for, it would appear all this anger is due to the OST not being good. A fucking soundtrack, some music, how do you get from "bad music" to "raped to death"? I don't get it.

That sort of people just enjoy abusing their fellow man, and are constantly on the lookout for excuses. Anything will do.

Marty still painted a big target on Mick's back.

I hadn't been paying much attention but I believe this occurred after Marty made his statement on Reddit but before Mick released his own.

If you're bored, go read some of the older comments from the Reddit post that Marty made two years ago.

I hope so as well. The language in his response from last week is has some strong language that really makes it feel as if it was written alongside legal counsel. With how long he's sat on this issue, I would imagine there has been quite a lot happening behind the scenes in that regard. Issuing that statement publicly feels like the first step towards litigation to me.
