Have gamed
"A week ago I wrote in the Observer x-gu://item/mobile.guardianapis.com/items/technology/2016/dec/04/google-democracy-truth-internet-search-facebook. About how they have gamed Google’s algorithm. About how Jonathan Albright, an associate professor at Elon University in the US, had mapped them to show how they have become a vast and growing ecosystem that is encroaching on the mainstream news and information infrastructure like a cancer. How Google, with all its money and resources, is being owned by hate sites who have hijacked its search results." (The Guardian.)
Does "have gamed", in the above, mean "to have gamed a sort of computer game with Google's algorithm" to distort the search-engine results ?
