Game designer and scholar Max Haiven uses the term “playgrom” for violent mob actions against minorities that are deeply embedded in gaming cultures. GamerGate became a defining example - and a social media playbook for the alt-right.

By organizing the games industry, we're going to change things. Because no one deserves to lose their job because an executive who doesn't even play games or know your names made a bad decision seven months ago. By standing with us in solidarity, players can make a real difference.

interesting article by @adrianhon.bsky.social on spy agencies using gamification and ARG-ish scavenger hunts to recruit teens for psyop gigs and sabotage (spoiler: US is interested in this stuff too) mssv.net/2026/08/13/w...
