Line 77:
* A ''[[Home and Away]]'' storyline from 2005 centered on the paternity of Hayley Lawson's baby became unpopular with the fans, who were aware that Scott was the father from the beginning (the test results had been switched by the vengeful ex-girlfriend of the other prospective father, Kim) but were forced to sit through months of near misses with at least three other characters finding out but being prevented from revealing it for various reasons. The story is now dubbed "Paternitygate" on the Backtothebay message board.
* Sporegate: The fan reaction to EA's insistence on using severe DRM in ''[[Spore]]'' was not pleasant.
* A user on this forum is actually lamenting the loss of "gate" being attached to anything and everything. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100618122523/http://www.uspoliticsonline.com/white-house/55462-notice-how-gate-has-disappered.html Link.]
* Gerstmanngate: Used by some video game sites to describe the scandal when Jeff Gerstmann was fired from Gamespot after his middling ''[[Kane and Lynch]]: Dead Men'' [[Four Point Scale|review]].
* Roomgate: [[The Nostalgia Critic]]'s review of ''[[The Room]]'' was taken down due to false copyright claims that didn't make the slightest bit of sense. The takedown notice turned out to be the [[Moral Event Horizon]] for Wiseau Films.
