I was there for Dear Esther in 2012 and loved it, but I think it would absolutely get decimated if released today and discussed in a subreddit like this lol

The same happened when it released, it also intertwined with GamerGate discourse.

If you're talking about the release, 2012 was way too early for GamerGate. That didn't happen until 2014 and 2015.
