I liked the book a lot more than I thought I would given that a lot of the problems could have been if not completely avoided then at least ameliorated if the characters had just talked to each other.   Similarly, Sadie was very aware of the misogamy in the gaming industry
but slept with her professor anyway even though she knew it would change how people perceived her work if it got out.


But the characters all felt very believable, even if in their selfishness and stubbornness.   And people do very dumb things in their 20s.

So I liked the characters in spite of themselves and I thought all the gaming stuff was handled very well.  

Given Gamergate and the toxicity in some gaming communities, it's amazing what happened to Marx hasn't actually happened.  Poor Marx.

I felt bad for the people playing Pioneers who lost their game because it had served it's purpose, which was never the player base at large.
