![[-] stephen-totilo 2 points 7 days ago" A belated reply to you. I was reminded of your question while going through my messages on Reddit A year after our original story, Wardell's people contacted us for a follow-up article that explained that both lawsuits were dismissed and included an apology from the woman who had sued him. That newer article was published prominently on our site and is linked to as visibly as possible in the original article. That original article always included and quoted from the full counter-complaint from his attorney and, within a few hours of publication, also cluded ersonal response to the claims against him. Hindsight being 20/20 I certainly wish we'd given him even hed with nd to be gry about being piled on and harassed over allegations for which he always should have been presumed innocent. While our original story included both sides, the follow-up helped provide more of the balance that would have been ideal from the get-go. He himself has said he wasn't able to speak as freely then. His lawsuit--in which he sued his ex-employee--was newsworthy and had been reported on. I believe hers was therefore relevant as well. The reporter on the original story hasn't worked for Kotaku for years, but I obviously still do and have factored our experiences--and Wardell's--with that story many times as we handle sensitive reporting and strive, always, to be as fair as can be. We publish in great volume, and I trust that regular readers will recognize our ever more aggressive efforts to be as fair as possible Wardell and I have met since then and have remained in touch for coverage of his company's games. I wish him the best and hope these incidents recede into the past for all parties permalink embed save parent report give gold reply [-] dragi nol 53 points 8 hours ago Hi Stephen, Your original story did not include both sides. Your writer only used documents that were provided by the plaintiff who cherry picked the documents she provided If the story was "newsworthy" as you say, then your writer would have given us the same courtesy of allowing us to have sufficient time to provide our side of the story. In actuality, while your writer worked with the plaintiff for a month (According to she didn't notify us about the story until the night before it was going up and didn n with regards to what the story wa mitte that the stateme in Kotaku article we We also co d have demonstrated that not only did not a single er own witnesses corroborate her allegations fact s no oworkers amed in the STILL work at Stardock -- tha How ma rect, 100% ra workers h retention rat The fact i age her forum whatsoe f Kotaku had done mo ndu rampa knew about this because the r marketing manage contact to ge se w r di m a biased source sift t ug stract I, for that story.

![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. …………………………....…..……….….....

[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")
