I talked to Chris from The Indiestone, and confided in him. I figured since he said something along the lines of "Who cares if she's scamming or not, she's still provided us with a fun game for free, that justifies everything", that he would be understanding, since I wasn't actually scamming anyone. He wasn't as understanding as I had hoped, and he let me know how betrayed he felt. He said he understood, but I really don't think he did.

I have apologized. I’ve been apologizing since before the campaign even ended, I just keep getting drowned out by the people who seem to be speaking for me (like Allistair).
But of course, if you do take into account the surgery being life saving (which I am inclined to say my personal health situation being irrelevant), then there were no false pretenses. People donated money to A) save someone’s life, which they were, and B) because they enjoyed a free game that they liked, which they did, should the rest of the story really matter? And I didn’t scam anyone, I didn’t make any money off of this, in fact, I’ve lost money because of it. You could go so far as saying I attempted to scam people, that’s your personal call, it’s all in what you consider to be a scam.

The 31-year-old woman walked on crutches into a downtown Portland park. Minutes later, she set herself on fire.

Bystanders put out the fire that consumed Chloe Sagal, but she died from her injuries.

Sagal was a game developer and artist who struggled with mental illness for many years. Her friends say she loved dogs, forged authentic weapons and made haunting music when she was able to. They say she was proud of her Romani heritage and an active socialist.

They also say she was the target of an online bullying campaign that derailed her.

She was an indie game developer know for creating the game Homesick. And in 2013, Sagal, a transgender woman, became the target of hate mob K_ F_, an online group New Yorker magazine described as "the web's biggest community of stalkers" that "specializes in harassing people they perceive as being mentally ill or sexually deviant in some way."

The harassment began after it was revealed a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Sagal to deal with metal poisoning was actually raising money for her gender surgery .
