It’s was a handful of unsubstantiated claims that Rolling Stone spent a crap ton of money investigating before dropping it due to a total lack of any evidence whatsoever. They really wanted to break the story but exhaustive research revealed there was nothing to break.

As in, in this specific situation, it could’ve just been trolls.

Good to know! My friends have been gushing about it and I was biting my tongue since I wasn't sure.

Alec killed himself. Benson's, Zoe Quinn, and everyone even mildly related are going off Twitter for a while. Alt right centers and people willing to listen to them are already portraying this as "Zoe Quinn's death count", even though Alec's sister said Alec himself had nothing against her at this point.

It's worth noting that a number of other women shared similar stories of abuse about Holowka. According to his sister, he struggled with his own mental problems, though she (his sister) did not discredit his victims.

Nothing but losers in this one.

A serial abuser committing suicide is not the fault of the victim’s publicly claiming they were assaulted. Innocent people are not driven to suicide by these allegations, that’s the act of a guilty MOFO

he cut her off in line at the supermarket because she had 16 items in the 15 items or less line

and then later on she turned to be the cop who busted him for public urination at the Met gallery

I gotta be honest that picture of them is creepy for sure but it’s creeping me out on a much deeper level because I’m sitting next to my 26 year old girlfriend she is a DEAD RINGER for the girl in the photo. As in I initially thought I saw a picture of her when I was going through Twitter and then I noticed that it couldn’t possibly be her but then I showed it to her and she got super freaked out because she also thought that I had Photoshopped her into a picture of Seinfeld. Their faces have extremely subtle distinction but otherwise it’s basically like a ghost twin from 30 years ago.

As a perhaps enlightening follow-up, even though this is games-related and not Hollywood, Alec Holowka's Night In The Woods collaborator Scott Benson wrote up his experiences on working with him:
