The same people responsible for driving this non-issue along would burn down CCP headquarters if it meant Mittens would get removed from the CSM or the game, and then unironically blame him for it. |

Remember the blue-sideboob with masseffect?
Bioware/EA are far bigger, juicier targets than CCP, and a made-up sex scandal is far more alluring than "47 year old man almost bullied in video game nobody has heard of". |

Exactly, it's Fox, they'll do anything for ratings. A low level MMO from a country that 95% of their viewer base couldn't find on a map isn't exactly going to set people's soul alight, nor will the traumatic tale of an adult almost getting bullied but not really. |

Dunno, you'd have to ask him. I don't think he even got home from Iceland until today.
That said, if two step's twitter is any indication ( https://twitter.com//two_step_eve/status/184449371847393280 ), he was encouraged by at least him to not make a rash decision without thinking about it. Remember now, that's coming from the same person who would stand to inherit the chair. |

The 5% are the people that watch it for comedy's sake |

You're very right, the spirit was clear. Clear to the goons listening, who promptly did nothing. Clear to the players listening, who promptly did nothing. That's why he didn't get harassed over this, and why this was a complete non-issue until a few days later when someone smelled a metagaming opportunity. |
