So is all this sweet baby inc stuff going to result in anything even slightly positive for the consumers?

They'll never stop covering for each other. Their industry is deeply nepotistic, and they'll always defend the people in their in-group.

But I find it interesting that they actively seem to want another gaymergay. Journos control the narrative, so they could easily choose not to frame it as G*mergate 2 if they wanted to.

My guess is the first G*mer Intifada was actually a positive for them. It gave them a chance to stake out their positions and offer a show of force. If they're calling for another, it's because they're insecure in their positions (due to layoffs and increasing dissatisfaction with the games industry) and want a chance to regroup and show they're still in control.

And it's a weaker narrative this time too, "a bunch of sweaty g*mers harassing women out of game development" is a much more compelling and lurid narrative than "a harassment campaign against a consulting corporation" which is borderline nonsensical.

So, no, it probably won't achieve anything in itself, but I'm not sure things are looking great for journos.
