GamersGate, according to their official Facebook page, “is the leading digital distribution platform for PC, Mac, and Linux games, with over 6000 games available.” They also must have done something awful in a past life, because damn. Those poor bastards. Twitter thinks so, too:

Here’s what they have to say on Facebook:
Announcement: GAMERSGATE.COM is NOT Gamergate!
As many of you are aware of, recently there has been a fierce and infected discussion about sexism as well as journalistic ethics in the gaming industry. We’ve received threats and harsh words from around the world and want to make it clear for everyone that Gamersgate.com is not part of this controversy whatsoever.
Next year Gamersgate.com celebrate our 10th anniversary and since start we have been selling games for download. We are one of the original download platforms and we do our best to support gamers so that they can buy and download games to good prices. Anytime, anywhere.
Theodore Bergqvist. CEO – Gamersgate.com
