The following year, Quinn co-founded Crash Override, a crisis hotline and resource center for victims of online harassment.

Quinn thought this sort of game narrative would be a good way to depict depression, imposing a set of rules on players that might not experience such problems in their day-to-day lives.

[9] In 2014, Quinn intended to be part of the canceled YouTube reality television show codenamed "Game_Jam", which was meant to bring together a number of prominent indie game developers.

[14] Quinn also contributed a chapter to the book The State of Play: Sixteen Voices on Video Games, detailing their experiences making Depression Quest and the subsequent harassment they faced.

[19] In January 2018, Quinn's role as Narrative Designer at Heart Machine's upcoming game Solar Ash[20] was also announced.

[28] Quinn is interested in human enhancement and has implanted an NTAG216 NFC chip in the back of their hand that can be programmed to perform various functions.

[31] Quinn initially withdrew the game from Steam's Greenlight service, after having a detailed rape threat mailed to their home address.

[38] Speaking with BBC News, Quinn said the harassment had consumed their life, leading them to feel as if "surrounded by nothing but hate – it's virulent, it's everywhere" and that they were "just trying to survive".

The attacks boiled down to "the same accusation everybody makes toward every successful woman: she got to where she is because she had sex with someone", and Quinn also pointed out that Gamergate had targeted "the people with the least power in the industry".

In their speech, Quinn spoke about the need for technology companies to provide proper moderation and terms of service which protect marginalized groups.

[1] In September 2017, Quinn published the memoir Crash Override: How Gamergate (Nearly) Destroyed My Life, and How We Can Win the Fight Against Online Hate.
