While not typical GameDev.net news material, we felt GamerGate has had enough of an impact on the games industry and on indie developers that it's worth sharing.
Zoe Quinn is the indie game developer at the center of GamerGate, and now her story is coming out in her own words through her book Crash Override: How Gamergate (Nearly) Destroyed My Life, and How We Can Win the Fight Against Online Hate. The book was published last week and is now a #1 Best Seller.
Crash Override tells the story of GamerGate, which started as a hate campaign directed at her but ended up turning into an attack on women and race.
Polygon has posted a review of the book, which we recommend viewing if you're interested in learning more. You can get to the review here.
