Support NeoGAF

I've heard about the .zip file...apparently, it's all legitimate.

Tax returns, financial statements, invoices, contracts, expense documents, government documents, personal information, bank accounts, sales data, Sony / Microsoft / Steam QA + certification files / contracts...

OH MY GOD.

Someone needs to contact the authorities immediately.

 

[kingocfs]

Wait, what's going on there? Why is he mad at her?

It's not his Twitter account.

 

[Qassim]

I'm just basing it on what people are saying in here. This is a thing I'm kind of ignorant on, so I apologize if I called out the wrong people/person.

The thing is, these websites have millions of visitors. They're open for anyone to use - It's really hard to legitimately label any of these particular websites as "responsible" for the attacks.

 

[Sai-kun]

Which it generally is. I've seen plenty of it and it all seems to be about hating anyone who doesn't agree with them.

I've seen enough TERFs to know they don't want equality.

please don't mistake TERFs for even partially representing feminism. even feminists don't like TERFs

Not to take away what's happened here, I looked up Jen's twitter since it seems to be related and found this exchange:

Uh...

EDIT: Actually not his real account. I'm embarrassed to have fallen for that! Then again so did she lol. If you look at the actual retweets on twitter, it's more obvious.



Maybe. But then, who is "them" exactly? /v/ is just a message board on 4chan. I think it's fair to say the moderators are not behind this.

What are with those uppercase I's in Phil Fish's name? they seem more like lower case L's or a vertical bar |

Either way I'm calling fake on that.

Wow.... that is just so wrong. I dislike Phil as much as anyone but nobody deserves this.

Hacktivists should all go DIE IN A FIRE. Miserable little wretches constantly fucking up other peoples lives for the LULs and "cred." Pathetic.

i noticed that too didn't know he was canadian until i saw that

me neither, never cared enough to know but pretty cool. Lots of good indie devs in canada so it's not surprising I guess.

 

[LiK]

Did you click the right link? Heaps of ads on that site that say 'DOWNLOAD'. If you ended up with an exe and not a zip, you did it wrong.

oh, i was just referring to the site. i didn't download anything.

yikes

 

[GoodCoffeeJoey]

yea, don't click on that link. i scanned it with Malwarebytes and it's flagged.

Knowing these people, it probably hijacks your computer to mine bitcoins.

The Great War to purify gaymez jurnylizm
These people are fucking nuts

 

[Meffer]

IMO, I don't think it's /v/. It's very easy to blame 4chan for anything.

 

[Hamburgler]

What would be hilarious if this was all a ruse by Phil himself to get 4chan shut down.

Oh what the FUCK

 

[Mass Effect]

Phil Fish has kept himself in the public eye by being a dick on Twitter. He had to keep poking the bear.

Live by the sword...

Seriously?

 

[Chinner]

i hope they don't hack neogaf and post those nudes of evilore

Jesus.

 

[catotheyounger]

Vile. Unacceptable. Criminal.
I want no part of games if this is now the culture.

 

[plasmawave]

Some people must really hate equality.

Is that for real???

[Plywood]

Gaming is supposed to be a hobby. This shit is bananas.

 

[MormaPope]

Welp

If Phil Fish wasn't really done or out of the videogame industry, this will probably not entice him to continue.

 

[Buzzbrad]

This is getting out of hand

 

[Goddard]

To the people pissed at me, I was just pointing something out. The poster I responded to said something like "why are they fighting against people who just want equality." All I said was if you ask anyone who is actually one of the extremists, they would dogpile on you because they think that is the exact opposite of what is going on. Again I don't share their beliefs, that is just an important thing to know about them.

 

[Aramiyo]

please don't mistake TERFs for even partially representing feminism. even feminists don't like TERFs

Isn't that 'No True Scotsman' though?

 

[bigkrev]

.

 

[lostsupper]

Seriously?

Very much so. People are dicks.

 

[Storm Raider]

Imagine if this was all set-up my Phil himself and all that info is fake, but the 1.5gb is actually a virus he set-up to wipe out anyone who tries to download and obtain more info, etc.?

 

[entremet]

Why did they target Phil Fish? Last I heard of him was him quitting Fez 2 and Twitter.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

4chan head mod? Lol. Mods are too busy being outnumbered 1 to 1000000 in their own site to do anything like this, and there literally is no head mod. I'm calling a false flag, but by who is the question.

 

[Danneee]

I hope the sad little fuckers who did it gets theirs.

 

[jbug617]

Honestly this is some scary stuff.

I feel like some of you guys are overreacting in the sense that, why are you throwing all of gaming under the bus over the actions of one or maybe a few individuals? Yes, this is horrible but to say it's where gamer culture is heading, that's a hyperbole if I ever saw one.

 

[Interface23]

The world is going to hell all around us guys...

 

[-MD-]

At any rate, I don't think we'll be seeing future Phil Fish rants on twitter after this.

Why would they go that far? Is it really that serious?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Insane. I don't think I've ever said a nice thing about Phil Fish, but no one deserves this. You have to be a really cowardly person to do something like this. I sincerely hope whoever is responsible ends up being caught or ousted by his or her peers.

Seriously. I've never understood this sentiment.

The people being attacked are just as much, if not more, "part of games" than any sinister assholes.

 

[FLD]

Man, what a completely fucked up thing to do. Phil is often asking for the shit he gets but this is way out of line...

C'mon now, that's extremely hyperbolic.

Have you stopped watching movies because of Roman Polanski? Have you stopped listening to music because of Michael Jackson? There are some real bad eggs, but the majority of consumers in this industry don't so this sorta shit.

 

[Hato-kun]

They also have a fake twitter account out there that is @PHILFISH. His official account has an underscore between his names, @PHIL_FISH.

It isn't the culture. This isn't video games. These are criminals.

This bullshit finds a non-trivial voice when people bring up anything that remotely a resembles an "SJ" topic. I don't plan to quit the hobby because of it, but it's not something that should be downplayed.

Isn't that 'No True Scotsman' though?

Well you can actually identify TERFs. There's a fairly consistent set of shitty beliefs associated with being one.

 

[Abounder]

Disgusting. For what it's worth just 3 days ago over 4 million hospital records were hacked as well. I hope the hackers all go to jail.

 

[Fracas]

Polytron site is down.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well this is certainly fucked up.

I'd love to see whoever did this get taken down.

Eh, as someone annoyed by SJWs and these guys on the opposite side of the spectrum... gaming can be a very frustrating place these days.

 

[sheamus]

is it bad that i have no empathy for Phil fish in this matter

 

[Interface23]

That's not Phil Fish's real account. That was a fake.

And that's also a problem because now I'm sure the real Phil is going to get some heat because of something he had no hand in just because she posted that on her site.
