GamerGate

In late August 2014, the gaming industry became embroiled in one of the most heated and divisive controversies of the early 21st century. What began as a debate over the ethics and responsibilities of video games journalists, quickly turned into a battle over cultural identity and values. So what exactly happened during GamerGate and what can we learn from it? That's what this book sets out to explore. Not as a partisan diatribe, but as a case study in conversation and as a learning experience. If we are going to overcome the unique cultural challenges facing us today, then we must learn from our past.
