Mike is terrible at making arguments or persuading people. But he had a point at asking what the point was in remaining if he was being attacked endlessly by factions within Comicsgate while being a part of Comicsgate.Zack backed Narwahl’s Earthbound and did a review on it which boosted it’s sales and I don’t really keep up with TUG to know what he backs.
Mike was offered several times to be let back into he fold. A lot of CG people liked Mike and wanted him to back, but he reused everytime. So that’s on him.
How late was the Meg? Like a year and some change, of course people are gonna talk. But you‘re right, lateness is not exclusive to Mike.
These late books are the reason why people are afraid to back newer and lesser known creators and these creators are doing themselves and CG a huge disservice by not having a proper plan and talking to others who have gone this process on how to do it right.
Sort of like how Ethan van Sciver was fired from DC for "telling someone to kill themselves" while at the same time they were courting troons threatening violence on twitter, it was all about his political stances first and supplying a weak, hypocritical justification afterwards. Very similarly, Smiller was busy online arguing on Edwin/Indiecron's behalf in the face of calls for Indiecron projects to be vetted by an authority before being considered "officially CG". And then a couple of months later, wouldn'cha know, Ro "purge the degenerates" Kabir is spearheading an "investigation" of The Meg for embezzlement and clutching his pearls over Mike's homophobia.
I mean, nothing is stopping you from taking the reasons supplied for the schism at face value ("Doug and Mike wanted to turn CG into a hate movement"), but it was fundamentally an argument of gatekeeping vs. anti-gatekeeping, and the gatekeepers won. Mike isn't exactly without sin in this department, as he supported multiple similar actions until it finally crept up on Indiecron.
