This is from the GamerGate Sings album. I have no idea who sings it, but I kind of like it. You can download the entire album here:

Lyrics, courtesy of Kortomir and someone on 8chan:
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how the vidya used to make me smile
And I knew if I went indie
I could make some games for /v/
and maybe they'd be happy for a (little) while
But bad press came and made us quiver
rage with every post delivered
Bad news on our doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if we cried
The day the writers got paid to lie
But something woke up deep inside
The day the gamers died.
So bye-bye gamers far and wide
We just wanted fair reviews but the journalists lied
Wrote that we all dead when some indie devs cried
Saying: "This'll be the day gamers die
This'll be the day gamers die"
Do you have a game you love
and do you believe in Gabe above?
If the anons tell you so?
Do you remember when they said Rock and roll
Would damn your immortal soul
As well as violent movies and TV shows
Well, I know that you're all pissed off too
'Cause I saw you rippin' on literally who
You all wanted to win
So you abandoned Zoey Quinn
I was just an average gamer dude
GTA, Mario and Halo, too
But I knew what I had to do
The day the gamers died.
I started singin' bye-bye gamers far and wide
We just wanted fair reviews but the journolists lied
Wrote that we all dead when some indie devs cried
Saying: "This'll be the day gamers die
This'll be the day gamers die"
Now for 5 whole years we all browsed /v/
While feminists cried misogyny
That's just how it used to be.
Then Moot became the great cuck queen
And hired mods who do it for free
then they banned all discussions of GG
and while we settled on 8chan
Anita blamed all her threats on man
She and Wu took to the news
And for a minute we thought we'd lose
So while they bast-ar-dized ol' Marx
and compared themselves to Rosa Parks
We played our vidya in the dark
The day the gamers died.
we were singin': bye-bye gamers far and wide
We just wanted fair reviews but the journolists lied
Wrote that we all dead when some indie devs cried
Saying: "This'll be the day gamers die
This'll be the day gamers die"
We started disrespectful nod
telling advertisers what these sites had done
8 ads down and falling fast
Yeah we sent our Emails en mass
Thank the website that were so rash
to send their own consumer-base to the trash
And the warriors on twitter roared
that cis-white male were to be ignored
It didn't matter the stance
They never even gave it a chance
So GG dominated with NotYourShield
But the journalists refused to yield
Do you remember the corruption we revealed
The day the gamers died.
we started singin': bye-bye to gamers far and wide
We just wanted fair reviews but the journalists lied
Wrote we were all dead when some indie devs cried sayin':
This'll be the day gamers die
This'll be the day gamers die
We were all grouped up in one place
While 4chan fell trying to save face
We vowed never to go back again
So come on, anon, be sure to stick
with the plan that made Kotaku sick
Cause cash is the journos' only friend
But as I watched Wu take the stage
My keys were clacking in a fit of rage
No amount of facts to tell
Could break their victim spell
So as the fire rose into the night
The news declared the feminists right
I saw Brianna cackle with delight
The day the gamers died.
And she was singin'
Bye-bye gamers far and wide
We just wanted fair reviews but the journalists lied
Wrote we were all dead when some indie devs cried sayin':
This'll be the day gamers die
This'll be the day gamers die
So on the day Wu took the news
I told /gg/ I was feeling blue
They called me a fag and turned away
I went down to the Steam store
where I'd drained my wallet once before
But I couldn't find a game I'd ever play
And in the streets the journos screamed
The feminists cried and the shills all schemed
But not a word from us was spoken
Our morale was all but broken
And the three games /v/ hated most
Fez, Gone Home, and CoD: Ghosts
They were what the journos chose
The day the gamers died.
Still they were saying
Bye-bye gamers far and wide
We just wanted fair reviews but the journalists lied
Wrote we were all dead when some indie devs cried sayin':
This'll be the day gamers die
This'll be the day gamers die
Bye-bye gamers far and wide
We just wanted fair reviews but the journalists lied
Wrote we were all dead when some indie devs cried sayin':
This'll be the day gamers die
