You know, if GamerGate gets large enough, it might do the unthinkable.

What the hell is gamer gate? I tried researching it but I can't go beyond the huge text wall.

I'm no expert but basically this woman made a shitty text game then slept with five different guys involved with the gaming biz, some which gave it good reviews/helped it get on steam or something.

basically this disgruntled ex-boyfriend wrote a blog about how his ex-gf, who deved depression quest, slept with reviewers from different websites

it is confirmed she has a relationship with someone from Kotaku (her current bf), who wrote one article that mentioned depression quest among other games (apparently prior to the relationship), but never did a review on it

Basically this is the main reason a lot of people (including me) don't respect the gamergate movement.  They got so angry at a women game developer because she slept with a game journalist.  This game was basically free and the game journalist didn't write an article about the game during their relationship.  This is what started the whole gamergate movement.  

Around the same time youtubers were getting early access to shadows of mordor if they didn't say anything negative about the game.  Gamergate was relatively silent about this.  Games journalism has had integrity issues before, but it was Quinn's personal life  that got them angry.   Of course it is all about integrity In games journalism...
