OAG investigated Sony Interactive Entertainment in April 2019, in response to accusations they revoked access to purchased content for a user of hate speech.[13]
In July 2019 it broke the story on the censorship of The Witcher spinoff card game Gwent's artwork censorship.[14]
In March 2020, OAG's report on Crunchyroll disabling comments on their High Guardian Spice anime trailer was cited by CBR.[15]
Movie review[edit]
Billy's thoughts on the upcoming 2022 film Thor: Love and Thunder received criticism from Mary Sue.[16]
Takeover by Neira[edit]
Billy was driven off his own site in summer of 2020 after attacking Black Lives Matter. The new owner, Karol, hired a self-described woke author of suburban Goth girl novels to write articles named J. Neira. Neira continues to write articles to this day, often writing pro-feminist articles like the one about Cooking Companions: https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2023/06/cooking-companions-buff-woman-gisela-is-causing-meltdowns-on-rumble/

As discussed on Reddit, some people also found the focus on diversity hypocritical, claiming that the employees featured in the trailer seemed to be "exclusively white women." As One Angry Gamer commented, eventually Crunchyroll disabled the comments on the show's pitch trailer.

One Angry Gamer went on a rant, and then another site felt the need to say, “SEE? THE MEDIA IS SAYING IT IS AN OUTRAGE, BUT IT WAS A PLOY!” like they didn’t just scream for an extended amount of time about a woman being worthy. My patience for this kind of tomfoolery is very limited. In the One Angry Gamer piece, they bash the comics era of Jane taking on the hammer
