Leftists activists took over game journalism and established a monoculture that led them to believe they were a majority within the video game community. They had hated gamers for years and were all waiting for an inflection point to trigger their official takeover of the hobby. The Zoe Quinn scandal was their signal flare to shove all of the chuds out of the gaming space and declare progressive ownership of gaming.
Turns out they were only a tiny minority of the gaming community, so their attempted takeover smashed into a racist sexist brick wall. The journos had to settle for taking over game dev instead.
their attempted takeover smashed into a racist sexist brick wall
I am proud to have built myself into such a wall over the last decade. We should all aspire to be that wall, to defend our hobby for all time against the advances of such hobgoblins.
Though considering the GameJournoPros list that later came to light, I can hardly call her the author with certainty considering this was probably made among them and then altered slightly for each republication.
I mean, she turned out to be at least half-right in the end. She wasn't right at the time, but gamers clearly don't have to be their audience anymore...and games are near infinitely worse for it.
Congrats, bitches, you cut out the people who played the games, and turned games into useless slop marketed to DEI investment firms. Progress™ marches on!
Gamers are dead(ish) as an audience...but we still faired better than games.
You say that like they aren't happy with the slop we're being served. They love how gaming has degenerated into glorified movies, with the only thing standing in their way now is difficulty.
It's ultimately what it was all about. They wanted games easier because they hated that others were better than them.
10 years later and she implicitly admits that Gamergate was in fact about ethics and a lack of industry disclosure.
Thanks for playing, Leigh.

I became a wall in the past decade.
Forever living in their heads rent free as a reminder that they're wrong, and continue to be wrong.
You can describe Mos Eisley the same way you can describe journalism. A hive of scum and villainy.
Hey now, don't insult Mos Eisley like that!
I'm actually amazed this crazy bitch is still alive, she's been hitting the bottle hard since I think before GG, and clearly she's still at it.
do not suffer the opinions of cunts
You know it's unhinged when you can barely understand - or can't understand - much of what she's talking about.
I will say, it was nice to give us a birthday present, though. Didn't expect that. Cheers.
She comes off as an insecure try-hard cunt.
Grandma's drunk again and it's your turn to drive her home!
We need flairs on this board, Lethn's would
tobe "Resident Normie".She was the one that penned the original "Gamers are Dead, Gamers don't have to be your Audience" article.

Rule 16 to games journos.
I'll take a side order of rule 2.
Honestly, I got them confused.
Definitely Rule 2 to games journos.
The only thing these ghouls love more than destroying the things you love is getting paid to do it.
Want to know how I can tell you're a neophyte?

It's the "I am a megaphone" bitch.
...so she's ear-bleedingly loud, and people can't really understand what she's saying?
And there's a point when she gets close enough all you get is a high pitched droning.
she's still alive? that's a shame.
Now that's a name.. I've not heard in a very long time.
I'm sure her local wine box dealer has her on a
first namemost frequent caller basis. Or whatever she's drinking these days.Funny how gamergate made the game industry go full woke as a response. And metoo added onto that.
