I've been out of the gaming loop for several years now. For context purposes, what was "gamergate"?

The longer you sit around with your thumbs up your asses the worse it will get. A forum member put together a press release off the top of their head that is ten times more clear and effective. It probably took them all of five minutes.

Chill.  Forum members don't have to get input from others to make official statements, or to run it by any legal team, planning meetings, etc. over a long holiday weekend when no one is working 8-5, and they likely will run it by the partnership for the lounge obviously. Bureaucracy moves at the speed of continental drift.

To not derail the thread, that's one best googled and researched on own. Plenty of info including time lines out there

Just to close out the thread GenCon did post a reply locked updated statement on their facebook which looks to have removed any of the previous vague language some where concerned/questioning about.

Wow. People have been asked kindly to stop this behavior on the forums. 

If you dont like the policy then you can simply choose not to attend.
