The mistake was saying she slept around to get positive press, which was incorrect. She actually slept around to get everything. Press for her game was just one of many things she purchased via cooch.
There was no mistake. Within a few days of the full "gamers are dead" onslaught nobody gave two shits about her. Nathan Greyson was the target because he was the ethics breaching journo in their bed.
The narrative that anyone actually gave a shit about her beyond "wow she is a piece of shit" and shitposting was AGGs and her own. Which they managed to successfully even convince GG was true by shoving her into the conversation every month.
I'm still convinced someone diabolical - possibly someone with billions in political donations - deliberately caused this to blow up like it did.
Everyone knew "game journalism" was just ads for the game. Normally everyone would have said "wow I knew what shitty people" and moved onto something else a month later.
The funniest thing was, that there was no 100% concrete evidence that she had slept with Grayson to get the positive coverage for her game.
People were told that they had slept together, and we knew that he had given her game positive coverage. But that's it. It was the fact that people turned to Grayson and simply asked him: "Hey, what's up with this? Can you elaborate?" and his (covert) reaction that kicked off the whole thing.

It's almost never the crime that gets people in trouble and almost always the cover up that does them in.
Not just gaming. Almost every industry is now "What a nice company you have. Would be a shame if anything happened to it. You'd better hire my friends here just to be on the safe side."
Technically she has experience. She was the VP(or pres, I forgot which) of the company that made Skylanders, the Tony Hawk games among other things for 13 years or something like that, before blizzard bought it, so it’s not like she’s totally inexperienced, but I do think they should’ve promoted someone who didn’t just enter blizzard.
True, but as always, the media's carefully-curated apologia for their own actions has them as the pure, innocent beings of light and virtue gracefully responding to us horrible plebians.
Despite the fact that GamerGate was literally the hashtag about the media's attack on Gamers.

Is she ever going to make that kickstarter game she promised.

Unconstrained by society, this is a woman’s biological instinct. Yeah it’s unhealthy for society but women run things so here we are

"despite"? I think you mean "because".

Always has been. Sherman was right, though.
