For me this has always been about the media, well the legacy media, controlling narratives and censoring any dissent they don't want getting healthy attention.
Games journos were only ever the testing ground to what became the 2016 US election, shifting attention away from offshore monies, Brexit, #HeForShe, genders and sexualities education to primary school children, Vegas shoting, multiple school shootings, Epstein, #MeToo, Covid, BLM, now the Israel/Ukraine situations and everything else in the world.
Nothing has changed except the platforms worth using to promote unhappiness with each other and form an organised counter opinion and those platforms can be gained back elsewhere on the infinite web which allows for free speech and free market.
Following the breadcrumbs up from the idiotic games journos who hate their lot in life we saw support across much larger International media groups, academic organisations, the United Nations and now government specific funded NGOs to all try and rewrite history through memory-holing, changed formulas and algorithms and blanket censorship.
I really wouldn't mind if it looked like this were all for a reason but, if it is, such a reason is unclear outside of total control and silencing of questioning - fine in a divine logic but there's nothing but mankind in charge of all of this and that always ends in death and suffering.
