Gamersgate most certainly did nothing on this point. They have - in the most charitable way, if we disregard everything vile associated with people who use the hashtag - selectively targeted indie developers and their relationships with some minor publications. And, of course, the truth is that the vast majority of stuff - indeed the vast majority of stuff in this thread - is about largely inchoate rants targeted at so-called "SJWs". People say that they're aligned with GG, but no one here is talking about anything "ethics in journalism" related. It's all rants about SJWs, political correctness, LGBT issues. It's hard to believe this is the "real" issue when it gets exactly 0 coverage in any GG related topic.
You are under delusion that GG is ONLY About Ethics in Gaming Journalism (which in itself became a meme).
It is not.
Corruption, ethics, anti-censrorip, freedom of speech, anti-ideologue - all these things are Gamergate.
Not to mention that the cancer that is Social Justice is in no small part responsible for a lot of the corruption.
But don't take my word for it - go ahead, go to gamergatehq on 8chan and ask directly what GG is about.
