Correct, but also correct that afterward, you could not critique the game at all without being "a literal Nazi." The journos (as shown in their private mailing list) closed ranks amazingly quickly. I watched perfectly reasonable critiques get removed from comment sections before the comment sections were inevitably shut down "to promote better discourse."

As usual, it isn't the crime, it's the coverup that gets you, and GamerGate was a great example of that.
