If you wonder to yourself how we ended up in a post-fact, right-wing dystopia, the answer is "gamergate." They wrote the playbook for the bad-faith "culture war" behavior now we see everywhere online.

  I am once again reminding folks that Daniel Vávra, the studio head behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an unapologetic "gamergater."

    Daniel Vávra
    
    Daniel Vávra (born 2 September 1975) is a Czech video game writer, director, designer and co-founder of Warhorse Studios. He is best known as the lead writer of the video games Mafia (2002), Mafia II (2010) and Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018). Vávra started his career in 1998 at Illusion Softworks, initially working as a graphic artist for Hidden & Dangerous, he went on to become the lead writer of Mafia. After several projects in the mid-2000s, the studio was purchased by 2K Games in 2008 and renamed 2K Czech. The studio was working on Mafia II prior to the acquirement. Vávra greatly struggled with the restructured studio under 2K Games, and left in early 2009, prior to the game's release. Following his departure, Vávra co-founded Warhorse Studios alongside Martin Klíma in 2011, which would eventually release Kingdom Come: Deliverance in 2018, a medieval role-playing game with Vávra as the lead writer. Warhorse Studios would be sold to Koch Media in 2019 for €33.2m, with Vávra remaining as its creative director. Biography Daniel Vávra...
