He should know intelligence and "game journalism" are mutually exclusive.

They're just conspiracy twats. It's not like there are never ethics issues in game journalism, but exposing them requires some degree of journalism or investigative research, not just some MRA retard on twitter saying "He did it for money/blowjobs." They just don't have the actual insight and skills needed to take on the cause they claim to care about, so they make it all up.
Well, he just apologized for that bullshit on stage, so maybe he grew a little. GamerGate was about "them not-white not-male people fucking up our games" and nothing else, so an apology for ever saying anything in support is pretty much required.
So if he just didn't have all the information and misunderstood something 3 years ago, why is that such a crime? I just don't see what he was saying as being malicious, just wrong.
I just don't see why it matters. Why does the guy need to pass some political purity test in the first place?
What I find more disturbing is the corporate PR machine pandering to the witch-hunters.
The GamerGate crew was about harassing developers, publishers, and anybody else into maintaining the white mail purity of the gaming scene. There's still a lot of resentment for the damage they caused by being such a bunch of swatting, doxxing, assholes. They hurt people, and people remember this.
Having said that, he apologized. Time to move on.
What can brown do for me? Nothing!
