At this point, it would actually benefit Wu to turn traitor. She's a laughing stock to both the Troon Squad and Chelsea's circlejerk cult, and her Patreon is taking a nose dive. Cheong's life and career went on the upswing after he went full Benedict Arnold, and Wu's life can't get any shittier than it already is. This is his perfect opportunity to switch sides, by using the CON leaks as the impetus for his defection.

"OMG, I had no idea these people were like this! They said all this horrible stuff about me behind my back and used me for their agenda! Once I learned this, I realized I was wrong the whole time! Oh, and don't forget that my amazing game Rev 60 is coming out next week!"

Wu and gamergate era Ian have a lot in common. Both are supposedly reformed shitlords, though Wu would never own up to her past. Both are using the rhetoric of social justice to establish themselves with a new social group. Both found out their new comrades were fairweather friends at best, backstabbing cliquey gossipers at worst.

If nothing else, doing a face-heel turn would improve Wu's attitude immensely. It's really clear she doesn't actually believe half the crap she says, and without the constant purity inquisition dogging her she could finally own her opinions that she currently has to halfheartedly walk back every time some pissant twitter feminist tells her that what she's saying is haram.

Oh, I completely agree that the best thing Wu could do would be to flip sides. However, I don't think it's possible at this point. She has always made Gamergate to be her nemesis, being completely over the top with her accusations, and if she suddenly showed up on KIA saying she had come to her senses, they would all laugh at her and tell her to go away. If she tried to talk to Milo, he would just use her for some more pageviews and drop her, if he even responded any more than an article on Breitbart mocking her for trying to reach out.

Her best bet would be to come here and join on this thread, but she never will because the first thing said would be "Where's the game, John?", and it would only escalate from there. Wu doesn't have the strength of character to actually own up to the asshat she's been for the last few years, so it would degenerate into arguments very quickly. While I agree that Wu doesn't believe half of the SJW bullshit she spews, the patronizing attitude that she speaks to people on twitter is all hers, and that would neither change nor would it fly here without rebuttal.

A big part of Cheong being able to jump ship was the fact that he pretty much owned being a fuckwad, then tried to make amends. I see no future in which Wu could humble herself in that manner. Cheong also had a bit of respect (or at least recognition) in his field to lend some credence to his words, while Wu has demonstrably done absolutely nothing in any of the fields she claims expertise in.

Reminder, that file is the Normal edition, he has not uploaded the special yet, a special edition looks like this in the Steam database

Why should Wu bring the "Normal Edition" to Steam? Doesn't make any sense. The normal edition was made for touch screens. She added that "typing-gameplay" so she could bring Tumorhair & Friends to PC, I am pretty much positive that his is the Disco Edition.

A while ago Brianna was complaining on Twitter about how Steam hadn't yet given her a second AppID for the Special Disco Edition, which is why we assume the version we watch on SteamDB is the normal one (the original PC port) without the lighting/texture bells and whistles. It could be that Brianna decided to only release the disco edition for PC, but until the store page goes live and we can view the game itself there's no real way to know.

Pretty easy then:
Either Wu complains in the next days, that Steam hasn't still given her another AppID (because of the dark machinations of GöringGoebbels no doubt) and Rev 60 something-something is delayed by another random number of days. Or she is updating the Shitty Edition to her old AppID and (at best) gives keys away for the iPad version. Would also make more sense that way.

But I would bet good money on the fact, that there isn't a Standard Edition release for Steam to begin with. If Wu would really work two both editions, we wouldn't have heard the end of tweets like: "FACT: I am from Mississippi and my team is currently working on TWO games to be released on Steam, ya know?". Besides, I also guess the original version has been overwritten by her a long time ago. It would surprise me if she had any form of version control running.

My guess the "normal" edition is the straight up port of the iOS game with maybe the typing of retarded added in.

The special edition was forked off that and was just basically John fucking around with the lighting and what not in Unreal.
 
Yes, the normal edition is supposed to be the pre-feminist version, but with the PC UI and quicktime stuff.

It would be utter insanity to release both versions as if they are different games, but that did seem to be Wu's plan for a while. I'm guessing Wu's natural laziness accidentally cancelled out her stupidity, and she's just going to release the ultra-vomit-seizure edition.

Any more info on this incident? I actually like that game.

Basically in POE backers could put in a custom message to be added to the game as a "memorial".

Firedorn originally had this one as a memorial:

Here lies Firedorn, a hero in bed.
He once was alive, but now he's dead.
The last woman he bedded turned out a man
And crying in shame, off a cliff he ran.

twitter user Erika Imperial then fired a shot at the official POE twitter.

Which led to many retweets and further complaining on the forums.

In a following patch the memorial was changed but it wasn't included in the patch notes. Shortly after the changed was announced the original inscription was changed.

Here lies Firedorn, a bard, a poet
He was also a card, but most didn't know it
A poem he wrote in jest was misread
They asked for blood, so now he's just dead

Apparently in the first expansion there is an NPC called Firedorn the player can kill as part of a bounty quest. However, I can't see any response from the creators regarding this anywhere.
