Back in the day Gamergaters found out that Microsoft's director of geopolitical strategy Kate Edwards (formerly Tom Edwards) of IGDA was running a fake Anonymous OpGamergate , and two of Microsoft's past chief Open Source strategists Samir Ramji and Brian Kirschner had worked in a small company called Apigee where Shanley Kane was head of developer relations, and Microsoft's PR agent Susan Bohle had planted the Anita Sarkeesian article in the New York Times whose board member Joi Ito's sister Mimi Ito was a co-worker of Sarkeesian's speechwriter Jon McIntosh. It didn't get the spread that the Halloween Documents did. ESR did not want to touch it.

- Adrian Chen of New Inquiry
- Kate Callen of the Toronto Star
- Joseph F. Cox of Wired
- Eric W. Dolan and Tony Ortega of Raw Story
- Dan Gillmor of the San Jose Mercury News
- Dave Lee of the BBC
- Derek T. Mead of Motherboard
- Anna Merlan of Jezebel
- Aaron Sankin of Daily Dot and Kernel Mag
- John Vechey of Popcap games
- Nick Woolf of The Guardian
