The funny thing is she's currently threatening to sue Smash JT for defamation because he said exactly this. lol, you can't make this stuff up.

I love how shes like "you must've
forgot myshit articlethat no oneread..."
What people need to do is put her on block or just mute her ass. Engaging with her only fuels her deranged ego. She's an attention whore, nothing more.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
In a way, I like that Mercante is still around acting like a complete fucking moron because it means you get the occasional thread like this. Just as long as nobody's taking her seriously.

That has to be one of the most elegant, well articulated and professional takedowns/rebuttals in the gaming industry. And her best response was a "lol, TL;DR" speaks volumes.

Activist Journalists aren't there to find truth, simply report on games or(god forbid) celebrate the game industry, they feel entitled to criticize everything until it fits their agenda

I feel that the Kamiya response is best when dealing with these deranged lunatics.

Imagine how proud her parents are of her at family dinners.

She's probably not going to any of those. Given her hatred for men, she either hates her dad or grew up without one.

She claims her dad abused her or something along those lines. Your typical sociopath from Sunday TV movies.

Was that before or after she single-handedly made GTAIV?

Her dads a cop, I seriously doubt that. Probably gave her some tough love at worst.

Not even going to comment on Mercante, because she’s entirely insignificant to this debate, but the things brought up about toxic positivity are spot on.
Creative endeavours fail if there’s no passion, creative conflict, constructive communication and compromise. And they certainly always fail if the people involved hate their audience.

Yeah, cops aren't known for being overrepresented when it comes to domestic abuse.

Not enough ass for me to look pass the lunatic she is. Isn't she the one who tried to get someone's wife to say bad things about her husband so she could make an article about it?
Not my proudest fap.
She's also not the person who claimed to work on Ori, she just came out of nowhere to talk shit about Thomas, a conversation that was none of her business and she rightly got told to fuck off in the best kind of way.
Did some extra digging and loving how many people are defending the woman claiming to work on the game by saying she was in the credits but every screenshot they show doesn't have her in them (lady's name is Rachel, they keep sending screenshots of a woman named Debora).

remember, this shit is a mental health issue at first place. so no suprise if she is unstable. what worse is she is just one of many. well to be fair, minority that pose as the many.
western studio are heading into era where they prioritize a specific working 'environment' rather than passion and ability in working making games at first place. if this trend continue, not just it will be affect the output quality, but sooner or later game development studio will be a forefront of mental health hospital care.
journalist site already far ahead. those affected place basically asylum.
i pray eastern particularly asian studio are spared from this. there is tons of sign. not late to turn back for those who already half foot through the cave door.

I don't understand the order of the messages and when she called him a dickhead
Why did she reply like this?
Also, the dude at some point says:
"And yes, it has also happened that I agreed to a certain decision, playtested some more and changed the direction after - Again, to me this is a normal part of the process since things get clearer and clearer the more stuff gets implemented and the more we play and test."
This is totally true for SW engineering in general. Sometimes great ideas don't really work in reality and they don't make it into the product.

I think an influencer started chatting shite about the studio and lying about her involvement. Mailer replied to her, quite politely calling her out, then Mercunt injected herself into the conversation and called him a dickhead for responding like that.
Then he burned her.

They are both knobheads . With Thomas Mahler you have to follow the mantra :"love the art not the artist".

Not surprised if she does. Going by her twitter pic and that bathroom selfie, no doubt she'd do anything for a buck. Very likely a hooker in real life too.

So, had she actually work at Moon studios or was she flat out lying? As a 'journalist', if she lied.....blatantly....to the actual CEO....she should be suspended from Kotaku. Or fired....that would be ok too.

That's assuming Kotaku has any kind of standards, which they don't.
