===Collaboration with Milo Yiannopoulos===
On September 2014, [[Milo Yiannopoulos]] wrote multiple articles about [[GameJournoPros]]. Revealing the Gaming press was colluding to push a narrative depicting #Gamergate as a harassment movement while trying to shutdown any kind of discussion related to it.<ref>Breitbart.com - [http://www.breitbart.com/london/2014/09/17/exposed-the-secret-mailing-list-of-the-gaming-journalism-elite/ Exposed: The Secret Mailing List of the Gaming Journalism Elite]</ref>.

===GameJournoPros Background===
On a interview given to AGPNation,<ref>Apgnation.com - [http://apgnation.com/articles/2014/09/29/7694/breaking-the-chain-an-interview-with-william-usher Breaking The Chain: An Interview With William Usher]</ref> Usher stated he joined GameJournoPros on february 2013 after someone else on the mailing list helped him with some pro-consumer articles published a year before. He received info about the list when he did an article attacking gaming media after they blamed gamers for pre-ordering and buying Alien: Colonial Marines instead of waiting for reviews.

Regarding of why he didn't release this information sooner he stated:

{{quote|There were two reasons I didn’t leak the information sooner: First, I was still gathering evidence and information. The original leaker who sent Milo (from Breitbart) the info kind of threw a wrench in my plans and forced me to speed up my timetable. I had always intended to expose how they operated, but I wanted a very solid, irrefutable collage of their own words to use against them. The second reason is that Kyle asked those within the list nicely not to publicly discuss the private conversations. I knew I didn’t belong on the list; I knew I wasn’t one of them, but they still allowed me on the list. I felt I would honor Kyle’s request while I was on the list. This did not conflict with my original plans, as I knew that I would eventually lose access to the group one way or another. When the leak happened and my access to the GJP was revoked, I was no longer honor-bound to Kyle’s request, as my adherence to his request only went as far as my inclusion to being on the list.}}
