Wow! I thought you were joking but the first name is the dude at the center of what started “gamergate” and everything that followed it.

Thanks for pointing that out.

This site is just another in a long list of game journalism sites that is worthless.

How are there still people that believe this? I seriously thought the claims about Grayson were so widely discredited that even the people still saying gamergate is about "ethics in journalism" stopped making them because it was so embarrassing. Like its obviously not true, go look at the Kotaku website, he never wrote any reviews about Quinn's games, it takes like 30 seconds to check.

No, they didn't stop, actually. Even here:

I thought a deranged online mob started Gamergate.

I recall a lot of it was driven by Kotaku, as well as the whole gang of cancel-culture twitter journalists.

It may be wrong, or right, but that is the narrative in my head around this. So it's probably the same in a lot of other disgruntled peoples' minds.

Kotaku had the wrong author write a review of a niche video game that nobody cared about. Gamergate was started by people who thought something totally unimportant like that was reason to send death threads to people.
