Gamergate red-pilled a lot of Millenials and Gen Z types about Leftists/Feminazis. I think it made PewDiePie, arguably THE biggest personality on YouTube (over 65 million subscribers, even his lowest-watched videos get a few million views), a dispenser of red pills to his audience, which is very young.
There has been a lot of leftist pressure on games and it has had an effect. The only thing that keeps it at bay is the fact that 75% of gamers are white males. But the left is nothing if not relentless so they will keep pushing until they ruin another industry.
