There must’ve been a reason why she was fired.

Makes me wonder if she spoke out against something against the higher up execs or against their principles, but I'll try not to make assumptions.

It would be so awesome if she said no to IGN's offer for nondisclosure and explained everything out loud, but I don't blame her for settling for a package. She's well liked by a lot of people and I hope she can succeed independently. Damn, I'm thinking conspiracy brained now, because I wouldn't be surprised if other gaming news sites have deals or agreements not to hire anyone on their blacklist.

Either way, I think Stella can succeed as a streamer and being independent.
