Now you know why I quit reading Games of Thrones after the 3rd book or so, and why I've no interest in watching the series.

As someone who works on API documentation (no, nothing to do with .NET, thank goodness), I really wish you would tell this to the marketing types at work who keep telling me, "Nobody wants... [*grimace*] specs. Just give them lots of examples to work from." And then smack them a couple of times.

Skatteverket and I are on pretty good terms, thanks. Meanwhile, I suggest you check to see whether your sarcasm detector is plugged in.

KGFY, ignoramus.

Go back and read the comment I was responding to. Then read my response. Then ask yourself, "How did I manage so completely to fail to answer Zontar's question?"

I dream of a world in which Sony, on the sly, seeds a few torrents of the movie. Holy plausible deniability!

It'll never happen, of course...

Congratulations on completely missing the point.

So who was the target, and why?

The public should not be permitted to benefit from anybody's creativity unless they pay through the nose for it, forever. Screw culture.

If you'd had any sort of education that had stuck with you, then you might know what a dangling modifier is, and then you might know how to express yourself without ambiguity.

Looks like you meant to link to this?

What started gamergate was an ex-boyfriend with the maturity level of a 12-year-old who couldn't deal with the fact he'd picked the wrong woman to have a committed relationship with, and who thereupon decided he needed to whine to the whole world about it in mind-numbing detail, seeking to ruin her name in public and naming every other name he possibly could. Including names of other lovers who'd not done him any wrong and maybe didn't even know he existed. That fact he claimed that he was doing it to "protect others" just served to add a veneer of disingenuity (if he didn't really believe his own claim to this effect) or attention-seeking (if he did).

Sexual matters between consenting adults are and should remain private. Adults do not air such matters in public.

I tend to think if it'd been the other way round, and she'd named a slew of his other and/or former lovers, she'd have been dismissed as a jilted ex-girlfriend who couldn't keep such matters private as they should have been kept, and that would have been the end of it.

I've played the game. As games go, it's not that great, in part because (SPOILER ALERT) it appears to be set up so that you can't win.

OTOH, it's a pretty realistic depiction of what it sometimes can be like to live with depression.
