Night In The Woods Studio Cuts Ties With Alec Holowka After Sexual Abuse Allegations
Less than a week after game developer Zoe Quinn accused Night In the Woods co-creator Alec Holowka of mental and sexual abuse, Infinite Ammo, the company he co-founded, announced it was cutting ties with Holowka.
Immediately after Quinn's accusations, which included incredibly graphic depictions of sexual abuse, Scott Benson, another co-creator of the game, voiced that he believed Quinn's accusations and would make a full response shortly after. That response game late Wednesday, as Benson tweeted from the Night In the Woods Twitter account that the company was cutting ties with Holowka.
Additionally, Benson announced the team is cancelling an unannounced project and postponing a physical release of the game. Finji, the game's publisher, announced it was cancelling an appearance at PAX West in light of the allegations.
After making the allegations, Quinn stated that they had received a deluge of stories from others that Holowka had hurt. She wrote, "I'm so sorry I waited this long to come forward but now whatever happens to me I don’t think I’ll regret it."

If allegations are false, then Alec can sue Quinn for defamation.

I know it's not the point, but it baffles me how so many people are desperate to have anything to do with Zoe Quinn sexually.

How on earth does anyone trust Zoe Quinn? Why does she not get laughed off the property?

God what a shitty company to just throw him without pay all because Zoe"all this hate, must be gamergate" Quinn made an acusation with no evidence, They didnt even do an investigation from what i understand.

Scott made a payment, Alec is still receiving payment from his work on NITW. Calm down.

Due process? Evidence? What are those?

Things not welcome in a post-truth world, apparently.

Your guilt has been determined. This is merely a sentencing hearing. Now what will it be? Death? Or exile?
