Back in mid January, Kotaku published an article on a case of over internet harassment of a female game developer by reporter Josh Mattingly, the founder and CEO of IndieStatik; a Kickstarted game news site focused on independent games. Laralyn McWilliams, a fellow designer and friend of the woman in question, sent a capture of the Facebook conversation to Kotaku. Josh contacts her asking about an unannounced game and proceeds to make unsolicited and un-reciprocated inappropriate comments during their conversation.
Kotaku has now published a follow-up written by Rachel Edidin, with her conversation with the harassed game developer, "Alice Mercier" (an alias she uses for the interview). They discuss the fallout afterward, what went through Alice's mind during the conversation, and why she felt the need to publish the conversation.
