I know some of you will say she should put every penny she has toward her debt, but we don't get to choose what she does, so at least be accurate with your complaints if you're gonna make them.
Fair enough, like I said I really don't care what the source of the money is. I'm not saying that every cent she earns has to go to paying back the debt, she has to live. Even bankruptcy judges let you keep a reasonable amount of living expenses. But if she's got enough disposable income to make sizable donations, then that's bullshit.
None of this is related to any discussions of trans issues, which I am staying the hell out of.

I was hoping she could just take care of the whole mess on her own, but between her depression and GG, we stepped in to help a bit. You will get an email when you pedal ships, which will be done in monthly batches.
I hope that helps clear things up. If you have other questions, feel free to ask them.
And quit jumping on the dude who said he was over DE:FX : ) We didn't take over because DE:FX was in super great shape and everything was perfect. We inherited some messes and some people who don't want to support what the company came to be. We get it. Hopefully, some of the new stuff we put out this year (NON-FUZZ) will help to change some minds, but if not, that is ok.
No, but that's why you guys are awesome.

modernage wrote:I just don't understand how they get "Ms. Lynn has decided to donate the contents of her Kickstarter account to none other than Feminist Frequency personality and anti-GamerGate pundit Anita Sarkeesian" out of a tweet from Devi saying the proceeds came from her "first gamedev gig." The sources of income are completely unrelated. But I'm sure they just got confused because Devi's Kickstarter was videogame influenced. Yeah, that's it.
A debt is a debt is a debt. Devi owes a shitload of money to a shitload of people. She got some money somehow, I don't give a shit how. And apparently it was disposable money, because she gave it away. Instead of sending this disposable money to the people she is indebted to, she donates it to a person/cause. That is fucking bullshit, and I have no problem with anyone calling out that kind of bullshit move, regardless of how shitty their underlying motives are in calling it out.
Oh, I wasn't even talking about that mess. I was only referring to the passing of misinformation in order to further some bullshit agenda. People should be just as demanding of facts as they should repayment of a debt. These assholes really don't care if you guys get your pedal/refund or not.
Edit: I will say that I do agree with you to a point. I wasn't involved in funding the Console, so while I may not agree with how she handled things, I must admit that I don't know how much of it is my business how she manages her money. That's why I was staying out of that one.
Edit #2: Also staying out of this one as well too
