Well, you can add the Saints Row Developers to the list you won't want to support then:

The people being targeted with death threats and rape are the bullies? Huh.
It's not logical to say that someone is not a bully because they themselves are bullied, this is simply emotional white knighting. You wouldn't say "hey that man coercing a woman isn't a bully because he himself was bullied by another woman", you'd hold him accountable for his actions regardless.
Yes she's a bully, most radical feminists are. They lie to create what's called a threat narrative which is where they invent a boogeyman, normally white CIS males. Then they basically run a smear campaign against these men using lies and emotional manipulation, in the case of Antia she's accusing men of harming women by simply playing games.
Once they've deliberately created a backlash they use a minority of hateful and troll like replies to misrepresent the entire industry as hateful, which is woefully wrong and deliberately deceptive. Then they use that hate speech to stifle and kind of dissenting thoughts or critism of their own work. Anita has has her pseudo science debunked all over youtube in calm and reasonable manner by many skeptics and critical thinkers, as well as gamers, yet their arguments go dismissed by media at large.
Then she posts a few angry threatening tweets which lets face it, practically anyone with a twitter account and more than 1k followers gets anyway and suddenly that's news worthy, not even kidding but this story is running on BBC right now.
And all that, that's not feminist bullying tactics, but someone telling her to go throw herself through a plate glass windows, or whatever, that's bullying? Give me a fucking break.
And yeah, the idiots in the Saints Row development team have lost my sale in future for proving they're part of the problem here. The only good game they've made is Saints row 3 anyway, the rest are naff console trash.
As we can't link to the original, here's kotaku's story:
http://kotaku.com/over-600-game-creators-call-for-an-end-to-hateful-har-1629371868
Long list, but there are names from Ubisoft, EA, Blizzard, Infinity Ward, Rockstar, Bungie, Volition & DICE in there. I guess that's a few more studios the haters can stop buying games from.
One interesting thing to note here is just how many comments in the petition are actually angry gamers who are opposing being called misogynists because they like playing games, and that they're angry that debunking people like Anita even in a polite manner is seen as hateful. All part of the feminist threat narrative, it's the straight white CIS male who want to come in an oppress the poor women who, boohoo.
In fact boogie made a video on the issue of feminism in gaming prior to this and said he was sick of it all being labelled a misogynist for simply doing what he loves, the petition if anything is to tell the gaming journalists to stop giving us so much shit for our "hate" that doesn't even exist, not in like the threat narrative the feminists weave.
Hurr durr don't hate people feel good bullshit. Seriously even the people who are against the current game journalism will not argue with that statement because it is so obvious. There is a difference between criticism and harassment, and gaming journalists and femenists need to learn this. Instead they would rather focus on troll comments and a very small minority of people who were discussing the topic to paint all opposition as horrible people. It is simply a false narrative.
EDIT:
Here is a petition to stop the hate.
EDIT2: Here is the current feminist logic for you. If you criticize the man hating radical feminists other feminists will cry about how they are a very small minority and are not the views for the majority of feminists. However they have no issues at all with calling gamers in general mysoginists because of a very small minority, and most of that minority are trolls from 4chan. The double standard is just so glaringly obvious that anyone who cannot see it is being willfully ignorant.
This person gets it...this is not just some one off for feminists this same threat narrative has been weaved for every pie they've stuck their grubby little fingers into, prior to this it was atheism and prior to that it was the skeptical movement, there's a repeated pattern of feminists entering communities of like minded people and being divisive by actually creating drama that did not previously exist and dividing people.
If anything gamers now are more afriad of women in gaming than they ever have been because gamers are now just weary of anyone that's just going to cause drama. Especially bad for all the female gamers who just want to fit in and be part of their peers and respected for being good gamers and none of this attention seeking grrrrrl gamer nonsense, now they have to face up to men giving them special treatment in case we upset their sensibilities.
The whole thing is divisive and disgusting, this was the case when they invaded atheism and divided the community into atheism and atheism+ (atheism plus SJW essentially) and it's just as divisive here.
I think that there are some people on the Internet that tend to be way too reactionary to things, and I don't think that only includes those that resort to vile ways of expressing themselves. I remember discussing this same problem in the Console forums with regard to the (now) ex-Microsoft employee. In that case, people got raging mad over one dude's opinion on a debate that was based purely upon speculation and proposed leaks.
