Choice of Games condemns the misogyny and hate speech of the GamerGate movement. GamerGate’s primary effect is to drive women from the gaming community.

I’ve confirmed that, indeed, our games really don’t work in Voiceover mode on iOS 8, even though they used to work in iOS 7.1, and that this is due to a bug in iOS 8. The effect of the bug is that it’s not possible to activate the “Next” button at the bottom of the screen, which should normally lock in a choice selection and display the next page of content.
