Its really hard to try and explain it to people who weren't there for it. It was wild, and to a large extent you could draw a direct line between Gamer Gate 1 and the election of Donald Trump 2016. It was the first time people really encountered the woke mind virus outside the confines of the academy and into mainstream normie culture. Most people really did not even know what they were dealing with at the time. It was thought the true issue was lying journalists being lying liars and things would return to normal once Journalists were held accountable to their own self professed standards of ethics.Damn, the way you described it does feel like a season one of an anime or a tv show, maybe a first movie in a whole upcoming lineup.
So, I guess by that logic, Gamergate 2 will really have to shake things up, if the first one was only setting up the future total retard war battlefield.
Much like Immune cells encountering a novel virus, the reaction was aimed at the wrong things and extremely frantic. We've had a decade since then to really meditate on what actually happened in 2014. The Virus went underground and is now back stronger then ever. Of course, so is the visceral response so its going to be wild for sure. Its also going to cost corporations a shit ton of money as they get nuked in the crossfire. It already has to many respects.
Steam is VERY smart to sit in the corner and play with legos, pretending nothing is happening. Gabe is an old gamer autist. He knows and is probably threatening to murder anyone who talks out of turn with a portal gun aimed at the moon and their feet.
