Fresh Steam backlash hits Slay The Spire 2 over consultant credit

Slay The Spire 2 is again facing a Steam review-bomb, this time sparked by Anita Sarkeesian being credited as a consultant. The negative reviews—often from new purchasers in multiple regions—appear to be driven by online outrage rather than revealed gameplay changes, with the piece noting no clear evidence of Sarkeesian’s input altering the game and framing it as a continuation of Gamergate-era harassment rather than a critique of the game itself.

"Feminist Frequency: The End of an Era"

Anita Sarkeesian, founder of Feminist Frequency, is shutting down the organization after 15 years due to burnout. Sarkeesian's work in feminist critique of the video game industry has made a significant impact, bringing attention to issues of representation and sexism. Feminist Frequency's legacy includes influential video essays and criticism on YouTube, as well as training and support programs. The organization's Games and Online Harassment Hotline will continue until the end of September. Sarkeesian plans to take a break and believes in the value of ending projects naturally to make room for new challenges.
