Page 446 if you were interested. Katelyn was a random bar patron and not a significant character in any way. If Chelsea was still in the game creator's good graces they could be conceivably written back in but dropping the character does no harm to the narrative in any way.In 2016, Zoe provided a voice for a character in the game 2064: Read Only Memories (trivia: so did Jim "Stephanie" Sterling). It basically looks like a visual novel with retro-anime stylings by a company called MidBoss. There were enough reasons to avoid the game without knowing they were the kind of people to cast a non-voice-actor like Zoe Quinn just for the virtue signal points.
Lately, they've been advertising a sequel called Read Only Memories: Neurodiver, which mentions the return of "familiar faces", and even mentions a few, but not Zoe's character Katelyn. I haven't seen the game's cast yet, but I'd really like to. I think it would lend to the idea that Zoe really is tarnished if she wasn't called back for the sequel. Of course, there could be story reasons why her character doesn't return, but it would be even more telling if she was recast.
It's unrelated to Chelsea but indie games like ROM and VA-11-HALL-A from that era were all plugging YIIK by Andrew Allanson(and his equally untalented brother) which went on to be a laughing stock of the indie game scene. I still chuckle thinking back on what a failure that was despite years of hype from the indie clique. Small victories.
If Jim Watson is indeed Q, then that's the legitimate link between Gamergate(8chan activity) and Trump(Jim Watson larping). It's still a ludicrous stretch but the kernel of truth is there 'technically.'One last little interesting tidbit is Zoe Quinn's IMDB page, which makes it look like work is drying up for her, except for a very recent appearance on a TV miniseries documentary called Q: Into the Storm. It's about Q-Anon and likely tries to link Gamergate to Trump's presidency, like all the lefties were trying to do. I know her comic book work fits right into the hole in her IMDB page record, so I'm not sure how hopeful we can be that she's entirely washed up yet. But maybe we can watch her burn some more bridges in the meantime.
