Let's be real here: the only things that are going to come out of GamerGate2 are more lolcow drama, doxings, and calls for Internet crackdowns.

This is a good message. But I will add, that the other side sees a good product itself as a political move.
Don't get intimidated by that. Create a great game anyway.
@xianc78
Nah
The first gamergate gave birth to the anti-sjw internet celebrity and made the knowledge of that issue universal among internet dwellers.
The 2nd round will go the same direction. Don't be so gloomy. Culture cannot be clensed over night.
@LukeAlmighty Don't get me started on the e-celebs. Nearly every single one of them ON ALL SIDES has been exposed as a grifter and the drama around each of them can fit an entire book. It also shows what happens when you build your entire identity around this crap.
If you happen to be a game developer, just stay out of this mess. I agree that you should listen to your fans and should probably avoid these consulting firms, but just remember that the more drama you create or participate in, the more likely you are to get doxed, cancelled, or something even worse.
