I think just with the terms liberal or conservative, democrat or conservative, gamegate and anti-gamergate mean different things to everyone. I appreciate that this is what it means to you, and to a lot of people. But that doesn't mean there's a sort of universal, or any concensus on what these positions mean.
personally, I don't understand what the big deal is about. so what if some gamer mag talks down to people. Don't read it. They probably don't like the same games you do anyway. (not you, personally, I mean you as in people complaining) So Polygon gave Gone Home game of the year. Don't read it. I don't. Polygon makes me sick. But they have every right to publish what they want to publish.
Is the game industry and game press incestuous? Yes. Welcome to reality. How do you think movies and books and music work?
I hope you don't think I'm aiming this snippiness at you, I just don't see what the big deal is anymore. There're so many bigger problems in the world, and this whole US VERSUS THEM thing is a universal symptom, that we find in politics, racial stuff, religious stuff, and now gaming. It just makes me sad. :(
