![Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….…..... Attack type Victims Motive View source Inquiry XA 28 languages ✓ Perpetrators Internet trolls, particularly from 4chan, Internet Relay Chat, and 8chan View history Tools ✓ Gamergate August 2014 - 2015 Women in the video game industry See all media Online harassment campaign Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, and others Gamergaters created conspiracy theories falsely accusing Quinn of an unethical relationship with video game journalist Nathan Grayson.[23][24][25] More broadly, they alleged unethical collusion between the press and feminists, progressives, and social critics.[17][26] [27] These claims were widely dismissed as trivial, conspiracy theories, baseless, or unrelated to actual issues of ethics in gaming and journalism.[28] [29][30] Gamergate supporters frequently denied that the harassment took place, falsely claiming it to be manufactured by the victims.[31][32] Misogyny anti-feminism anti- progressivism FBI investigation Gamergate has been described as a culture war over cultural diversification, artistic recognition, feminism in video games, social criticism in video games, and the social identity of gamers.[28][33] [34] [35] Many supporters of Gamergate opposed the increasing influence of feminism and so-called "social justice warriors" on video game culture. [2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/691/215/331.png "What the actual f--- are we supposed to do about this")

I just want to put something in perspective Video game sales in the US dropped 21% in 2013 >Sony in financial dire straits >Wii U isn't selling as well as expected Let's be honest here for a minute - It isn't just s----- journalism, s----- games, and scrubs, the video game industry is crashing You might not see it immediately, but the ripple effect of GG will be felt for years to come. The damage has already been done. Sponsors are going to continue to back out, because a certain group of journos decided to make video games a political blogging battleground When these hipster sites have a nobody journalist putting Intel on blast and accusing them of misogyny, boldly discussing business relationships on public social media, other companies are noticing that this is no longer a safe place to push their products to a receptive audience. These are multinational corporations, their allegiance lies with the customer, and they will continue wanting nothing to do with affiliates who openly and proudly drive away their customers and make high-school level insults against far their own (far superior) business partners When it comes time for those sponsors to renew their contracts, they wont want anything to do with either side of this debate. They'll back out completely. The mainstream video game market will crash like 1983. Mark my words I'm a dev. I have a lot of connections in tech. Even in this day and age, it's extremely unprofessional for respected people in the industry to say a single thing about their personal life - whether it be sexuality, marital status, and especially political affiliation. Openly discussing such things in public is seen as toxic behavior in the upper brass any industry. It's a one-way road to alienating potential clients, customers, and partners Business is business, home is home These journalists no longer serve their function to anyone not their sponsors, the devs who butter them up for reviews, nor the consumers. They are a barrier between the consumer and the product When the market crashes, you're going to see a lot of smaller devs come out of the woodwork. Their games probably wont be as pretty as the latest AAA has gotten everyone used to, but I can assure you they'll be great games. Just like the ones we used to see. The only people left after the dust settles will be the developers who love making games, and the consumers who love playing them. You've already won, GG. The media wouldn't be in such a frenzy to denounce you if you had lost. Theyve failed to contain you. Your reach extends to the "Chans, Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, and beyond. You are the new audience. You are the people that we will be making games for from here on out At this point, you're just twisting the knife. Keep it up, they deserve every bit of it. Nobody wants to see them in the industry - but at the same time, most devs and sponsors arent dumb enough to Tweet about it. We're too busy working to continue providing the goods and services you hold dear. Unlike the megaphones, we're not just going to talk about it, because we're already too busy doing it](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/850/942/6d1.png "A warning of the second crash")
