I assure you, they won't. It's been 8 years and they are STILL doing their victory dance on Twitter.
Ironically, despite claiming to be the standing authority on culture, all the games I have played that are worth a damn have moved on from pandering to republican white suburbanites. Hades is fun as hell, persona 5 practically shit on everything gamergate stands for about the importance of conformity. Hell, even pre-gamergate, vidya wasn't as 100% on their side as they thought it was. Sonic the Hedgehog is practically a leftist icon. Sly Cooper for the Playstation honestly primed me for being a leftist. You travel the world and you learn techniques from your master thief ancestors from around the world. You are ultimately trying to save the world but you're branded as a criminal, so despite Carmelita's noble intentions, she still is an adversary. Oh, and your arch-nemesis is a metallic bird that vows to end your bloodline and is literally kept alive through hatred. Make of that what you will.
on the one hand gamergate is a necessary component to understanding western fascism in the modern era
on the other it's stupid this is all so stupid i want my time back goddammit

Pardon the infodump.
Original Ratchet & Clank trilogy had rampant unchecked capitalism and celebrity worship as the source of most of its conflicts, it's beautiful.
