That number is TOO DAMN HIGH
Gamergate was the first domino to fall.
Once Gaming Journalism was proven to be corrupt, it was later proven that ALL mainstrean media was corrupt. Now the gaming media outlets are nearly bankrupt, and it won't be long before the rest of the media heads into the red
which gaming media outlets are nearly bankrupt because of gamergate?
Gawker(Kotaku's owner in '14) got sued to bankruptcy by Hulk Hogan
Their outlets was bought by Univision Media shortly after, only to be later sold to a new company G/O media that started going under in 2019
Gawker was sued for posting hogan's sex tape, not gamergate. I read the article you posted, so I'm on board with the timeline. Looking into the cause of those layoffs, I'm seeing management change problems with the sale to G/O media. The entire deadspin staff resigned in protest a little over 6 months after the article you posted was written. It wasn't a gamergate thing.
