Creation of GameJournoPros

Role in GamerGate
On August 19, 2014, Orland sent an e-mail regarding the Zoe Quinn Scandal to fellow members of GameJournoPros. In it, he proposed the idea of sending Zoe Quinn words of support and considered giving her game, Depression Quest, more attention in response to the scandal.
