Do we know what the author of that article's biases are? (Everyone comes with their biases, and I know pretty clearly what Brianna Wu's are because she's reasonably famous, but I haven't heard of Brad Glasgow, I think.)
In particular, the casual dismissal of saying that someone "bills herself as a game designer and activist" and the off-hand reference to "former GDC Pioneer Award winner Markus 'Notch' Pearson" without mentioning Notch's strong ideological biases re social issues and the game industry, make me feel like there's something undisclosed here.
If we're going to be wary of journalists misrepresenting sources to fit an agenda, I feel like we should apply that principle consistently.
