This image is a decent summary. The only thing is that it was one guy she slept with in the games media and he wasn't "reviewing" the game, but giving it positive press on Kotaku.
Basically the "gaming news" has hated people who like games since at least 2012 and it culminated in a scandal where indie devs had intimate relationships with people in the media and it was totally undisclosed. Instead of admitting that they did something wrong, they doubled down and said gamers are horrible bigots that need to be ignored and silenced.
Deepfreeze also has some good articles, even if they're a bit out of date at this point.
What?
It wasn't just one guy.
That's why we called it Five Guys Burger and Fries. She fucked at least five different games journalists for clout. Her boyfriend wrote a huge expose shitpost after he realized he got cucked hard.
It was 5 guys but the only notable one I remember was Nathan Grayson at Kotaku, the others may have been in the games industry but I don't think they were journalists.
