Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm pretty much down with everything you said. Things I wanted to mention:   In regards to you or Sargon going, I actually prefer having a well spoken, calm individual there, that is more representative of the "average" Gamer involved with GG, that's why I prefered you to go. I generally like Sargon and how he engages people, but he has a clear political drift in his Youtube content, which he is probably best known for, so I would like someone who isn't predisposed in that fashion.   You mentioned the Zoe Anniversary. I just want to point out in regards to that, that many people got interested due to other reasons and Zoe was more of a sidenote for many. I just mention that, because it seems hard for people lookingback  from the outside to understand how exactly GG manifested until it exploded after the "Gamers are Dead" articles. For me it was for example the reddit post by Matt from TFYC and his project I was interested in. It spiraled from there (Kickstarter funding and "hack", Vivian James) and bled into the TB mass deletion are all related but have very little to do with the underlying relationship drama the media usually focused on as the genesis. The whole "It was a trick started by 4chan" is therefore nonsense, most people came about the situation differently and for their own reasons and as soon as "possible corruption and cronyism in gaming" was brought up most people were interested (not necessarily engaged or supportive just interested in the story at first) but not surprised. it was only after the "gamers are dead"articles that GG really blew up and the focus there was on the games media which was percieved as unethical and incompetent and which many felt disenfrenchised by.   This turned into a bit of a rant, just some thoughts. That's what you get when you can't simply upvoat and move along ;-) Take car.
