she and gaming journalism were busted for cronyism because a disgruntled ex of hers found out she manipulated him and cheated on him with five guys (hence the five guys burgers and fries memes) with one of them being a journalist who reviewed her game. the relationship with gaming journalism and gamers was already on thin ice at the time (because they were calling gamers misogynists/racists as well as accusing developers of racism and sexism the games gamers were enjoying), but this was the tipping point. games journalism declared 'gamers are over' with gamers fighting back. shit came out that her crowd were guilty of cult-like behaviour and they were not all happy about it (and too a degree never got over it because gaming journalism still screeches about it now).
