So increasingly it's become apparent that Rapp was fired for a conflict of interest.
I wonder if that has anything to do with the multitude of conflicts-of-interest Treehouse got nailed over in the last six months?
Calling it now: If it turns out she was involved in some kind of malfeasance with one of the people screaming loudest about it, color me unsurprised.
Important Update: A contact speaking under condition of anonymity confirmed that she's been leaking information to certain individuals and groups - and I'm sure, given the circles Rapp rolls with, you all can discern the ones - for months, and Nintendo's known about it. She was going to be canned soon, outrage or no. Similar has been reported recently by other anons on Reddit as well.
This is an allegation, not a confirmed fact, but if true it explains a hell of a lot.
And all this on the day I fucking closed the Gamergate thread.
God damn it.
