The important thing is world renown, highest-grossing actress ever Scarlett Johansson is definitely banging on the door to portray Zoe in it's big screen adaptation…

>>325561 Would Eron sue Zoe for defamation if they ever did made the Zoe Quinn / GamerGate movie? And will it become a laughing stock like the Law & Order episode?

>>325557 > fat advance check Most people don't understand that an advance to an author is a loan that must be repaid on the promise of future sales. That money is meant to be used by the author's agent to promote the book through various channels. It's an investment not a jackpot. The original book deal was made on ideological grounds rather than business-sense and the publishing industry is completely rotten with SJW corruption either Roosh or Cernivich, I forget which, has a good essay on just how bad SJWs completely run the publishing industry from the top down, so most likely the original publisher is probably washing their hands of their loss as there is no way in hell that Chelsea's book will sell enough recoup that advance money. They're selling the debt. It last helps that Chelsea recently tarnished her own "brand" herself with her antics with both the Social Autopsy and if-there's-a-group-of-five-guys-Zoe-probably-fucked-em #shufflegate fiascoes; therefore the Jews who write the checks give zero shit about actual Social Justice ideology if it mean it cuts into their shekels. /pol/ is always right.

>>325567 >Would Eron sue Zoe for defamation if they ever did made the Zoe Quinn / GamerGate movie? No. For a number of reasons. You can get away with a lot of shit with "artistic license" (Captain Phillips was presented as a factual account and it ended up being the guy was a dumbshit that got them captured in the first place), and at any rate everyone involved would just change the names around and that would literally be all it would take. It's be horrible for sure, in fact the name 'Crash Override' is from another movie, Hackers, about spooky new-wave internet crimes and the cyber-badasses that stop it. In the offchance it ever got made, I see it basically being The Net; everyone who knows anything about what they're talking about will laugh, but the general audience at the time will think "Wow holy shit, they can come get you on the internet like that?". Truth be told if it ever got made I could see it being a minor hit.

>>325568 Keep in mind Amy Pascal made a point to give Quinn a deal when she went through her whole big show of making a new studio, she'd very likely buy out crates of the thing herself just to say she owns the rights to a best seller. Not many people who Pascal didn't just give Zoe a deal, she went and handed out checks to a lot of "Grrl power!" scripts and right, but she banked heavily on Zoe Quinn. She's going to look fucking ridiculous if she launches her new venture with a dud book that hadn't even been written when she made a huge deal about doing so. It makes business sense on her end to personally make sure a shitload of the things are bought and paid for, and then maybe just distribute them in colleges or something as "important reading" or whatever.

>>325570 I typo'd >Not many people know Pascal

>>325571 >Not many people know Pascal I'd wager you'd be right about that.

I don't think the pre-orders being low is why it was changed, so much as I would bet legal flat out REFUSED to clear the book. Especially after Zoe barely escaped with her life after her attempts to illegally silence her ex were laughed out of court.

>>325609 If legal don't clear it and you predict decent sales, you rewrite. Low or at least middling sales predictions are highly likely.

>>325621 Pretty much the only potential customers for the book are either her small army of ZQDF white knights or various other virtue-signalling Social Justice Parasites spite-buying it to piss off "those goobergrapers"; although not many, due to the vile nature Social Justice and the Crab Bucket theory.
