GamerGate refers to a controversy in the video games industry on the ethics of video game journalism, accusations of using personal relationships to obtain favorable reviews and awards in the industry, and a debate over the increasing number of critiques of video games from feminist and predominately left-leaning perspectives.
Background
In 2013, Chelsea Van Valkenburg or better known as Zoe Quinn[1], made a game called Depression Quest in which the player role-plays the life of a individual suffering from depression, and eventually got it green-lighted on Steam.[2]
