"Gamers" should realize that the world is not their enemies. Particularly people with different opinions than their own. They should also know no form of harassment is justified against anyone.
Ah yes, every time a company denounces Gamer Gate they're suddenly the most shadiest company in the world. Like how every news outlet that called out GG for what it is are now labeled "corrupt."
"Not only that, but because some game scored less, and is receiving less than favorable reviews on metacritic, people are losing jobs over that."
How is that the reviewer's fault. It's the fault of game companies for depending highly on Metacritic, along with Metacritic for cherry picking reviews from certain websites.
Looks like the Sonic Boom bug tester from 4chan was right.

Facts my asteroids. Every news piece I see from this site has been sensationalism.
"No worries, we've contacted the FTC/FBI. They'll decide if Klepek's actions were respectable. ;)"
I'm sure he shaking in his boots right now, while he's actually writes credible news pieces and well respected game reviews for Giant Bomb.
Meanwhile, the FBI is investigating the death and rape threat...
The only thing this site seems to post is pro-GG news pieces that no respectable website would post, while downplaying the harassment and conflicting message behind the movement. Anything for hits.
"Gamer Gate doesn't hate women, we swear."
"Please, let us kill three women involved in the gaming industry."
Because it's not bad enough these women receive a disturbing amount of death threats...
Can't wait to get this on my Vita. I've been dying for this game.
"Also, I wish people would stop referring to GamerGate as a feminist issue."
"It was started because Zoe Quinn got caught sleeping around like a whore to "promote" her 'game'.
And this is why Gamer Gate and misogyny go hand and hand with each other.
Forgive me for supporting the idea of women being treated equally in video games. How silly of me.
It's funny to see all the pro Gamer Gate people who says it's about "ethics is video game" resort to name calling and other childish remarks about Anita. Honestly don't know why so many of you are surprised to see Colbert ridicule a movement hellbent of harassing anyone that doesn't agree with its views, particularly women.
If she named three, then the discussion would be about those three games and that's no what the discussion of female portrayal in video games should be about.
Loved this segment.
'Or is this going to be gaming from now on, another 'movement' every time someone publishes an article that upsets a section of the audience?"
That's where it's heading if #GamerGate has its way. See: All those letters sent to Intel because "a woman said something mean." (Amazing how that Leigh Alexander article went over their heads). Or, doxxing, like when Felicia Day expressed her concern.
No one's allowed to disagree...
"If GamerGate loose then we all loose...."
With #GamerGate harassing women who dare speak up about this hurtful movement, I say the video game community is already losing. The movement has failed to uncover any shady deals (no surprise, consider it all began with gossip from a female dev's ex). However, for a movement that wants to fight corruption, #GamerGate advocates want advertisers to have all the power regarding what a websites write with false threats of ...
But death and rape threats are and it all comes from #GamerGate.
It's always funny to see #GamerGate advocates claim mainstream gaming sites should be more like journalist sites, until journalist outlets like Newsweek prove how toxic #GamerGate is.
Professional news writers don't know what journalistic ethics are; only #GamerGate does. These female developers and writers aren't being harassed; only #GamerGate knows what's harassment is about. BTW, Anita is a professional victim and deserved everything she ge-bla bla bla. (...
That medium link has been debunked:

#GamerGate is not about ethics; it's about harassment.
Was online play going to be as heavy as DriveClub? Perhaps the sever problem with DriveClub may have influenced Project CARS delay?
Now what about the non-game journalists that reported on the same thing? Such as The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and Newsweek?
