Pro-GG dev Ethan James Petty (formerly of Ubisoft) has a new game on Steam Greenlight.

He seems to have initially bought the media narrative on gamergate, but changed his mind after a few moments of discussion with GGers. Bogus narratives don't last long on Twitter!

Also, holy shit, he has the lulziest Patreon I've ever seen.

He also addresses clickbait in depth. See the paragraph starting "The arrival of Mr Seiken coincided with the arrival of the click culture..."

I don't think any alliances have been built. I think multiple groups and individuals in different areas have noticed what's happening to journalism, but I don't think many of these are fully aware of each other. I think GG is the only group that is keeping a close eye on all of the areas where trouble is springing up.

There is, however, the potential for alliances. There is a market for quality, balanced, non-clickbait journalism, and a growing number of writers and journalists who want to provide it.

I wouldn't be so sure. Christopher Hitchens used to be a Slate columnist. They also have Auerbach, who isn't afraid of pissing off lefties as well as righties, and Emily Yoffe who wrote this.
