About

After dismissing people accusing him of having a personal relationship with Zoe Quinn by saying he had never written about Quinn, he wrote about her without disclosing their relationship. They have clear financial ties, with Kollar having backed Quinn’s Patreon and one of her crowdfunding campaigns. Furthermore, they appear to have a very well developed personal relationship, including the discussion of possible meetups and extremely frequent promotion of Quinn on Kollar’s Twitter account.
