It already has been - GamerGate were the ones who originally broke this story almost two years ago. (More specifically, TotalBiscuit broke it and was officially a GG supporter, and most of the initial coverage came from GG circles. The mainstream gaming press only noticed a week or two later.) Though I think a lot of the interest was in an aspect that isn't mentioned here: Warner Bros also refused to give review codes to YouTubers outside of the paid promotional scheme, so essentially all of the initial YouTube coverage was by people with paid contracts that forbade them from saying or showing anything negative.
