biggest crock of horseshit I've read in a whileWe wanted to support women in the industry. In so doing, our words have been misinterpreted to suggest specific allegations of misconduct that were neither expressed nor intended. We are passionate about the safety, security and agency of women, minorities, LGBTQIA+ persons, and every other community that has seen persecution in the video game industry.
The real issue is that no one in the access media will run to cover this. That's the more infuriating part.
I already tweeted at Vara Dark, because she covered his initial issues. But I don't know anybody else that was fair to him back then. If you guys know anybody, especially on Twitter, let me know, so I can spread the word.

I feel obligated to point out David Cernat is a fag.
The second sentence is an obvious lie, and why are they trying to claim they ruined his life for some greater good? Just accept you were a cunt and shut the fuck up.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ March 25th, 2023, 04:35biggest crock of horseshit I've read in a whileWe wanted to support women in the industry.

Dude lost reputation, career, years of life, and a ton of money in lawyer's fees. And all that he has managed to achieve is them finally saying "yeah we lied, so what".

Hey he claims that he got a seven figure settlement from them (that includes the restoration of his attorney fees).wndrbr wrote: ↑ March 25th, 2023, 10:18Dude lost reputation, career, years of life, and a ton of money in lawyer's fees.

Of course who knows if he'll actually see that money. Blood from stones.
What a joke lol. And even if there is a tiny chance for him to write for some rpg ever again he is going to behave like an obedient little progressive house nigger from now on... aka even bigger cuck than he already was. If that's even possible.
They didn't even say that. It was phrased like nothing they said was accusing him of anything. I'm really pissed about it. They should have at least had to admit to lying and had their reputations ruined.wndrbr wrote: ↑ March 25th, 2023, 10:18Dude lost reputation, career, years of life, and a ton of money in lawyer's fees.

Oh you betcha. He's going to write so much woke shit so as to appease any future would-be accuser. Honestly, if you are a normal white male working in the modern day entertainment industry, you are wide open for defamation. It's a matter of when, not if, it happens.Fargus wrote: ↑ March 25th, 2023, 12:50What a joke lol.

Rather this guy take this as a lesson and work from home or something.
You say that, but then Durance in PoE 1 survived the Godhammer due to sheer luck, and so you realize that's Avellone's way of clowning Sawyer for not having a Luck stat in his setting...krokodil wrote: ↑ March 25th, 2023, 09:08avellone is such a gigacuck he makes sawyer look like andrew tate

nobody really knows how much avellone is worth but he recently bought a house in an area with some of the most expensive real estate prices in the world, so…

So yet another #metoo accusation crashes and burns.
And as always the lying women walk away more or less unscatched whilst the dude gets to live with stigma and an aura of suspicion for the rest of his life and likely will never work on a serious project again lest they get tainted by association. Meanwhile every virtue signalling twat who jumped on the bandwagon will forget this entire thing and gleefully move on to be the patsies for the next con (wo)man to come along.
"Justice" my arse.

So after all of this, this bitch had to sign a two-paragraph retraction, and that's it?
Put the cunt in jail, then it's a victory.

In the gynocracy a woman can falsely accuse men of the vilest things without any evidence and be believed then walk away scot-free. The laws need to be changed to where a false accuser gets the same time in prison for the crime they accused someone else of.
They have to pay a seven figure compensation. That can mean a lot of things from a few years of work and it's paid off, to... monthly payment until the month they die.

Oh, I was unaware of the attorney's fee part. I thought he was still going to have to pay it. So not only does he not have to, he gets the settlement on top of it.
Their lawyers must have been pretty sure it was a slamdunk case for him then. Guess those twitter warrior lawyers were full of shit, huh?

Not a single person Chris has worked with in the video games industry actually responded to his tweet, by the way. No former BiS employees, no current/former Obsidian employees, nobody from the countless games he's contributed to. I went through the entire comments section.
Avellone has credits on at least 57 games: https://www.mobygames.com/person/13485/chris-avellone/
Sure, some are just 'Thanks' or re-releases, but still. He worked in the industry for 25 years prior to this.
If someone ever wonders why I consider gamedevs to be scum, here is the evidence I present.

This is the YouTube comments section, so take this with a grain of salt, but I suspect this is accurate:
Anyway, the reason for my post is to underline that the Court found that the two women lied so bad, the Court decided they have to pay his attorney fees.
The only part that this sounds sus is where he uses the word "perjurious", which I'm not sure if that is a word.Bob A

I’m sorry you were attacked for offering a cogent analysis of an exoneration. I'm a former prosecutor, public defender, and I'm an appellate attorney. People demanding you prove Chris Avelonne received a 7 figure settlement are totally ignorant of the law or liars so ignore them. The Illinois court ordered the 2 women to pay attorney fees. Every law school student knows it only happens if a party has done something very wrong. Perjurious statements and libel are bad enough, but a court mandating payment of attorney fees only occurs when there are Frivolous and Bad Faith Claims, meaning allegations by a party are baseless and are used to harass and needlessly increase the cost of litigation. Bad faith is regarded as fraudulent behavior perpetuated against both an individual and against the court itself.
There will be a public statement released at some point saying that the women paid the settlement, and though the amount won't be disclosed, everyone will know that the women paid Avellone somewhere between 1 million and 9.9 million dollars. The statements released by the 2 women show that they lied no matter how they and their proxies try to spin this. The massive payments these women have made to Avellone along with their written statements were meant to buy Avelonne’s silence, meaning the agreement protects them, not Avellone. The last thing these 2 women want is to violate that agreement. You've done the right thing in standing up for justice and for standing up to bullies. These bullies will never accept that Avellone is innocent; they're zealots engaged in a cultural war and pretend that accusations of sexual assault are always true even after the facts prove that the accused is innocent, and after the accusers recant because their accusations were lies. Let this play out. Don't take the bait, and thank you for your courage.

Basically, the women lied so bad that even the courts had to sanction them. Their lawyers are very lucky they didn't get disbarred over this.
