Worth remembering that while Sarkeesian was one of the principal targets of Gamer Gate, it initially got started when an woman NB made a text adventure that got good reviews and people freaked and assumed she slept with a reviewer for them.
You forget that the actual catalyst was her ex-boyfriend venting about her on 4chan after their break-up and making those allegations. Chan types had hated the dev in question before GG too for some other crimes against gamerdom, and they were fucking ecstatic to blow the shit out of the post and turn it into a campaign
lmao not even, it got a mention on Kotaku due to DepressionQuest being, well, a means to convey a rough equivalent to being depressed. no reviews at all, literally just a little bit of coverage. Though tbh I'm thinking about it and I think Sarkeesian slamming predated gamergate, actually.
Yeah people hated Sarkeesian way back in early 2013, firmly before gamergate which technically started I think in 2014 and was only in full swing around 2015-2016.
She was sleeping with someone else at that company, but that's pretty banal. Tightly knit industries filled with young people usually involve a ton of fucking. Some of it looks like a potential conflict of interest, until you realize it's just horny young people with similar interests getting pushed into having a lot of social interaction with eachother. No way she's close to the only game developer to sleep with a games journalist.
I remember constantly pointing out to people that other people liked her game too. It's a simple game made by one person, but it uses its medium well and the writing is fine.

The "other crimes against gamerdom" was stating that women also get depression. I'm not joking.
Apparently a lot of the allegations were false too
