This particular take that’s going around seems to be almost as stupid as Sweet Baby Inc’s attempted takedown of the Steam group.
They’re just pointing out reality - gaming media is “woke”, if your product doesn’t check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, “hire us to help”. They’re basically a PR firm.
This isn’t them threatening to cause the damage, they’re not The Mob - “Say, that’s a nice game you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.”

That’s textbook extortion. “Nice product you got there, be a shame if twitter didn’t like it. Maybe pay us some money, make sure nothing untoward happens to your product”

I mean, how is it not.
Me observing that it’s cold out and offering to sell you some gear so you can avoid frostbite isn’t extortion.
Me threatening to break your legs if you don’t buy something is.
Hope that helps.
