Mr. Tito, when this business began, when I read your initial response to the Wizardchan fiasco, I thought I would never be able to respect you again. I thought, with you as editor-in-chief, that the future of The Escapist was grim, that the thread would be closed, that we'd go the way of NeoGAF and Rock Paper Shotgun, that I'd have to find a new site to call home for my news on the hobby I love. But you proved me wrong Mr. Tito. You proved me so wrong. And I have never been so happy to be wrong. Under pressure, you showed integrity. When others would have us silenced, you allowed us to speak. The pro-GamerGate movement would not be what it is today if you had not allowed us to flourish here. For that, I thank you. You have my respect and the respect of countless gamers who have been driven here from sites run by men with much less integrity than you. Thank you Mr. Tito. Now I'm going to borrow a phrase from someone else on this website, because right now you deserve it more than most anyone else here.
Thank God for Greg.
Here's hoping that some day soon, once this is all behind us, we'll all be able to sit down together, as gamers, and play some vidya.
