Depression Quest may not be your idea of a game you would enjoy, and it may have been a stupid game - but media - all media, including gaming sends a message, including First person shooters. And Depression Quest may have reached some folks struggling with Depression in a way no other venue could have...
I'm not a gamer - and I have no stake in this -- but something's out of wack in this whole story...

why else would such an obviously terrible "game" receive such glowing reviews?
depression quest was not targeted nor intended for the depressed, if it was, that would be awful as it was an even more depressing game and no kidding, that would be a bad bad bad decision for a depressed person to play.
depression quest was made so that non-depressed people could feel like they were depressed. yeah, not kidding. that was the point. i mean seriously .... like seriously. who wants to play a "game" designed to make you feel like ****? no one, thats who.
and thats why it was rejected by potential customers. not even because the blogs about the developers private life, but because the game was awful and no one wanted to play it.
