The Escapist was found to be targeted by a DDoS attack, specifically the GamerGate forum thread. The attacks happened two times, using a "large number of IP Addresses". They have not indentified the culprit, but they have suspicions that it is related to the "GameJournoPros" a Google Group who was exposed by Milo Yiannopoulos on "http://breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/09/17/Exposed-the-secret-mailing-list-of-the-gaming-journalism-elite" due to the similar timeframes of the two events.
