Paradox Employee being Stalked, Impersonated and Harassed - Polidicks

[url]http://techraptor.net/content/paradox-employee-being-stalked-impersonated-and-harassed[/url] [QUOTE]It’s come to light today, that one of Paradox Interactive’s employees, their community manager John Rickne (also known as TotalyMoo on Reddit), is being attacked in a campaign of cyberstalking, harrassment, and defamation. The attack has taken place within steam reviews, comments, reportedly contacting employees at the same work place as John’s mother, facebook posts, and various other unpleasantness over the past month. The person has also created steam profiles that claim to be him, and go on Counter Strike: Global Offensive being loudly offensive according to John, although it appears the account has been deleted. Some of the accusations include stating that he is a pedophile, although steam has also removed those. Apparently the campaign began because the person was not refunded by steam for Cities Skylines [/QUOTE] Gotta love our modern times. Get angry at someone and you can harass their mom. Kinda shameful that this is happening because he's a man.

poor guy

I wonder what kinda sicko that guy is.

[quote]Apparently the campaign began because the person was not refunded by steam for Cities Skylines[/quote] Ok, crimes like this should be doubled because there is just an extraordinary amount of stupid here. I mean for fucks sake how does it sound rational to stalk, harass, and defame someone from a random game company because they didn't refund you the money for a game. I can understand that feeling of being burned, but holy shit this takes it 10 levels over fucked.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49084495]Apparently the campaign began because the person was not refunded by steam for Cities Skylines[/QUOTE] So, He went to war? That is certainly a driven person. Although, Steam reviews sounds like something that one person wouldn't do because some company's get bad reviews and don't like it.

Cities: Skylines is the shit though how the hell could anyone do this

I'm glad he's cool about it, telling people not to start witch hunts or anything. But Jesus fucking Christ. Over not getting a refund ages ago? Hope those lawsuits destroy them.

Imagine being so insecure about yourself that you need to take it out on someone else

[quote]Apparently the campaign began because the person was not refunded by steam for Cities Skylines[/quote] A little bit more info would be great, because there are requirements to get a game refunded, like not playing it for more than 2 hours.

[QUOTE=Antimuffin;49084645]A little bit more info would be great, because there are requirements to get a game refunded, like not playing it for more than 2 hours.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Long story short, [B]back at launch[/B] steam did not refund this person and she thought it would be fitting to hold me personally responsible for that.[/QUOTE] Seems Steam Refunds came out the 2nd of June, and Cities Skylines came out March 10th. :V

A bit off the topic but of all games i really didn't expect this to happen to a game as Cities Skylines which received so much massive praise. Sure its not for everyone but if the person was looking for a city build sim then there is nothing better then C:S.

Textbook example of 'Salty'.

Goddamn why do people take video games so seriously? I mean going on a several month tirade of stalking harrassing and threats over maybe 4 hours work at minimum wage. Is it really worth that much?

[quote]Apparently the campaign began because the person was not refunded by steam for Cities Skylines[/quote] I'm sure in the time it took this person to actually do all these things he could have gotten a job and made back the $30 a few times over. [editline]9th November 2015[/editline] That being said, it's clear that this obviously isn't about the refund and is just about him finding an excuse to be a horrible person to a random bystander.

[QUOTE=usaokay;49086587]Hey, it's kinda like what happened to Garry when he had a stalker who was an asshole in the forums, called Garry's sister, and did a whole slew of weird as fuck bullshit.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49084495] Kinda shameful that this is happening because he's a man.[/QUOTE] I haven't seen anything stating that this is the cause of the harassment, though? Care to back it up?

Keep in mind he's been at this for 8+ years, with a mysterious drop in 2012/2013. That's dedication if nothing else.

He's probably got a few bodies in his mums floorboards, people who glanced at him the wrong way.
