1- Was the attack on Ion Fury a false flag? Here's an internet message board post that is taking credit for it. Anyone could just claim that though, right? Well, let's look at the twitter account that helped push the Era thread. Not much here, but hey, look at those 'likes' Was the attack on Ion Fury a false flag? Here's an internet message board post that is taking credit for it. Anyone could just claim that though, right? Well, let's look at the twitter account that helped push the Era thread. Not much here, but hey, look at those 'likes'

2 - Now, I did some digging, and I'm talking to developers on Ion Fury. There has been outrage that they changed the main character's design to make her "less sexy." I've seen this anger firsthand. The problem is, it's not quite true.

3 - At some point, someone at 3DRealms went & posted old concept art from Duke Nukem on Steam, with some quote about it being embarrassing in this day and age. This kicked off a furor & people began believing that Ion Fury devs changed their art to "bend the knee to SJWs"

4 - Whatever your thoughts about the character, she wasnt changed to appeal to anyone for any political reasons. The devs made the character as they did cuz that's what they wanted. It was some boneheaded 3DR guy who then jumped in to virtue signal. This pissed the game devs off

5 - Ion fury was made by a fairly small team of people, one of them is disabled and this was his chance to do something for his family and to get off disability pay. Now, thanks to the media punishing wrongthink cuz they said things people didnt like, they are being attacked

6 - If the Era post was made by a troll making a hit, which is believable given the posts screenshotted were quite old, then this says a lot about how broken the medium is. Journalists are punishing wrong-think, and trolls are ruining careers cuz a character isn't hot.

7 - Making matters worse, is that hordes of people are now trying to refund the game because the devs were forced to apologize. I am in contact with the developers, and they're pissed with the situation. FWIW: 3DR's PR wanted them to admit to a "misogynist" work environment

8 - They are being thrown under the bus & punished for having opinions that have nothing to do with the game they published, and theyre being punished by those who once supported them, all cuz their publisher (and a single internal game dev) forced their hand.

9 - And even if this wasnt a troll. It's still fucked up. Resetera made a thread, journalists pounced, and now the devs are forced into a culture war built around constant outrage. The devs are people, and they're mad, and they're hurting. What did they do to deserve any of this?

10 - If this doesn't show just how broken this entire medium is, I dont know what does. All I know is I'm fucking ashamed to be associated with it. Fuck trolls. Fuck outrage baiters. Fuck Resetera. Fuck the journalists keeping this shitshow going. Fuck 3DR. Fuck the 'culture-war'

11 - And, wanna know something else fucky? Very few journalists have reached out to them for comment. So pieces attacking them are being published, yet they cant get their own comments in.



I repeat, fuck this outrage baiting culture that journalism has devolved to. It's broken

https://twitter.com/SophNar0747/status/1155290886651219968?s=20 I'm talking to devs behind the scene and I'll have a very thorough article/video published by monday, but hey, if you like my journalism please consider supporting it down below. I'm working hard to get to the bottom of the stories I cover:

JFC. To add to my thread above. The ResetEra user who got Iron Fury in trouble, aka, the one who appears to be a troll after my own digging, is also the one who started the threat that got CRT changed after bogus racism claims.

After more digging, and thanks to some helpful tips from people who have reached out, it is my belief that these are all the same person:

I think everyone should use this information to open their eyes to how we can all be easily weaponized. The internet makes us easily manipulated. It's not just the morons at ResetEra who fall prey to these dirty tactics, either. We all do. Just something to think about.

What's saddest of all is that ResetEra won't even care. They got their "win", and that's all that matters. They were able to potentially ruin a developer due to weaponized SocJus, but cuz they dislike what the dev said, them being trolled will be denied. Nothing will be learned

1 - In the interest of transparency, I want to bring up two emails I’ve received tonight (one within this past hour) that suggest 3DR is being unfairly painted by my dev team sources.

2 - As of now no proof has been provided by those who reached out tonight, nor are their identities verified, so take this as a grain of salt, but there may be even more to this story. Just be wary for now.



Anyways, I’m off to bed, but if/when I learn more, I’ll let you all know

Worth adding that none of what’s been told to me tonight would dispute the ResetEra troll, it’d just alter some of the facts about what has happened since between Voidpoint and 3DR. But again, for now it may be nothing. I’ve seen zero proof to back these new claims.
