This page will discuss the origin, development, and dividing opinion on the recent movement in the video game industry, GamerGate.

As you can see from this timeline, the whole GamerGate movement started for two reasons. One, because of one incident with one independent developer. I guess what they say is true, one spark can start a fire.

The other thing is that this movement was started due to the long mistrust of the gaming press, media, developers, and publishers by gamers, as this is their way of wanted to establish change and expose corruption.

Of course, people on the internet can go overboard as you have also seen, which has caused many people to criticize the movement and the people that follow it. Now, you can say that the gaming industry is divided on this issue with no clear end or resolution in sight any time soon.
