Corruption

Kris Ligman

Critical Distance, Senior curator

Gave positive coverage to Mitu Khandaker-Kokoris' game Redshirt, without disclosing that Khandaker-Kokoris was financially supporting her Patreon for Critical Distance, since four days before the article appeared. This Patreon connection was still active when Ligman was a juror at the IndieCade Festival, where Redshirt was a finalist.

Deepfreeze now supports emblem modifiers.

Implementation is still ongoing — some emblems which should be affected might have been missed by mistake, and several pages are not yet affected by the modification. Please be patient — I'm going somewhere with this.

Destructoid's Chris Carter had been filed on DeepFreeze under the mistaken assumption by one of DeepFreeze's sources that he was one of the journalists denounced for cronyism by Anthony Burch. While he did review Burch's work positively, he was never on friendly terms with Burch nor an employee of Destructoid at the same time as him, and he has been removed from DeepFreeze. We deeply apologize for the mistake, and encourage everyone to contact us if errors are found on our database or an entry is deemed unfair for any reason.
