That's a blast from the past. I thought the name sounded familiar.

This is the first time I've heard of them.

What did they do that made them so notorious?

Yep. It was silverstring on the media side and DiGRA on the academic side. These were the two halves of cito-genesis about GamerGate. Your silverstring aparatniks would propogate GameJournoPro listposts with academic sourcing from DiGRA to lend a veneer of legitimacy to it.

At this point you have enough citational inertia that all the anti-GG stuff is 'settled science.' Honestly, that makes me look at the remainder of the narrative sideways. How much else of what I learned as a liberal is leftist nonsense?

That's how the Zoey Quinn stuff started unraveling because she was dating/friends with the people involved in Silverstring, who helped promote her stuff and her friend's stuff, and they slept around for coverage and promotion.

Silverstring pulled strings to get Zoey a few game awards. They were up to their armpits in the awards judging.

Looks like they're the equivalent of that other woke narrative writing company I've already forgotten the name of that's responsible for doing contracting work with a lot of gaming corporations.

They're called "Sweet Baby inc", because they have to have a creepy sounding name too.

Get a load of some of the games on this list, too. God of War Ragnarok and Spiderman 2, goes to show that they really put the "soy" in "Soyny".

Hard to tell time around here. We only have one clock and it is reset all the time.

Did you guys forget that Silverstring is funded by DARPA? They tried to bury that little fact really fast back in the day.
