That might have been a factor, but not a sole determining one, otherwise he would have done so soon after refiling the lawsuit, not now. I think Karissa knows she's against the wall, Avellone knows he has some issues seeing this through, and they all decided to get what they want
I hope the guy is able to get back to writing games because his work speaks for itself, he has been one of the best writers in the industry.
There's no money. Defendants had pro bono attorneys and cried poor. The statement he got from them is not good either. It's something, but I thought he had a bad case to begin with, and it got even worse after he lost the anti-slapp, owed them $133,340 in attorney's fees, and then refiled outside the statute of limitations.
The statement that directly says that everything defamatory we wrote about them wasn't true is a pretty good statement.
"We are passionate about the safety, security and agency of women, minorities, LGBTQIA+ persons, and every other community that has seen persecution in the video game industry. We believe Mr. Avellone shares a desire to protect and uplift those communities. We believe that he deserves a full return to the industry and support him in those endeavors.”
Excuse you, they did it for victim points and ass pats. That's, like, totally more important
ahh yes, how could I forget! They did it also for the LBGTQQSADLKLLK-0+SSA group.
If you're not going to trial, anything less than an on-camera retraction is a failure. Give the people something they can see and share. That's the only way this works. What he got was a bunch of bullshit written by a lawyer that they didn't even read.
He won that case, tho....that's why Barrows appealed. And the appeal never found the district action to be frivolous either, merely suffering from jurisdictional issues.
Wait, so Barrows "return[ed] of the attorney fee award entered against Mr. Avellone in California" and retracted her statements, because...she won? That's a very weird victory.
Person who knows nothing about the settlement, or what Avellone allowed his lawyer to say, states for a fact that his lawyer is unethical. That is why people thing you are a retard, Kathryn, because of shit like this.
Because sharing that Forbes story, or the original source, is extremely hard...wait, no, that's actually easier.
I genuinly despise people like you. Any victory is a mistake to you. If God himself came down to earth to give you a handjob, and he bent the fucking reality to make it the best damn handjob you ever got, you'd still find something to complain about.
why the fuck would she settle for that? does that make any sense to you?
