What matters is the crazy amount of censorship on gaming sites that followed when people discovered that two of the guys where journalists that covered her game. There were people who harassed her because of the scandal, and those are the people the antis put under a spotlight, since it fits into a neat black and white good vs evil narrative.
Do I think Zoey's game got released because she was sleeping with her boss? Nah. Do I think that she's a really shitty person that doesn't deserve respect? Yeah. Doesn't mean she deserves death threats but she also deserves less than 0 respect or credibility as a human being. Emotional abuse in relationships is a real thing, and she definitely used it against the author of the blog.
If you still aren't sure whether or not she's a shitty person, you could try reading the "Gender reversed" version of the blog called "The Joey Post" and see if your gender roles still hold up lol.

Gamergate has moved on from the "Quinnspiracy", since it became obvious that there was no way to convince anyone that it was about journalists colluding with devs and mass censorship and not "THE WOMAN SLEPT WITH FIVE GUYS HARASS HER!"
