Lol this thing is already fading into the background. The purported purpose of gamergate: corruption in the gaming media1, is trivial bullshit. Boo hoo the gaming press and the game makers are a little too cosy. Who gives a crap? This isn't Boko Haram, this isn't ISIL, this isn't child abuse, or Israel/Palestine, or the rainforests, or global warming or not global warming, or corruption of police, or politicians.
The only game I've ever bought on hype and ended up hating is because of gamer hype, being the same level as review scores, not because review scores were stupidly high for a rubbish game.
If gamer gate is uniting against feminism, then they've lost their way, and they've proven they aren't really about corruption in the gaming media. And they're stupid. The more you fight feminism the more feminists can claim to be the victims. And the non-gamer public is generally willing to believe the worst about gamers.
There are plenty of gamers who think gamergate is tainted in its origins anyway, so it's definitely not a unifying influence. In fact it's just another dividing line.
