capital g gamers is just a marketing term to try to convince people to buy RGB bling and overpriced accessories. Again, the only thing they all share in common is that they play games, which are entirely mainstream at this point.
Definitely don't agree. There's a difference in people who need support groups to tell them if a game is "too woke" for them / send death threats and people who have RGB.

Some small fraction of all of these weirdos would be willing to call in a death threat or actually follow through.

While yes, frequently this is true, there are a lot of unhinged people that will make death/bomb threats against people/organizations they have beef with. Most of the time, these threats are completely meaningless with no intent of follow-through. But can you take that chance?

Nah, capital-g Gamers are a different breed than people who play video games.

Are you saying that they made up the calls? Or that they made the calls themselves?
It’s really impossible to know unless the cops arrest the people who made the threats and get a conviction. I think it’s much more likely they the threats are overblown to benefit Unity from a PR perspective than that anyone is actually planning violence against Unity employees.
UPDATE: https://www.polygon.com/23873727/unity-credible-death-threat...
> San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.
well there's your story. Even worse than I thought. Why would a Unity employee of all people do this instead of simply walking away from the job? No one's going to hail you as a hero for this.

We can call it whatever we want but it's a shame it's such a frequent occurance in the games industry. Is it due to the news focusing on video games, or is there something disproportionately odd that attracts that folks to games?
Edit: And I don't think it's only attractors, I think there's not enough detractors to toxic players.

So it turns out the threat came from...a unity employee. Not 'Gamers'.
Do you understand how ridiculous all this gamers talk was?
