  • The stage of gaming journalism has changed & it's not for the better, as IGN has absorbed almost HALF of all modern gaming journalism. Is this a good thing? Why is it bad? Let's talk.

    Thank you for watching as you watch you'll come to understand that while the game journalism is technically getting smaller, that doesn't mean it's better. In fact it's worse.

      Exactly, who the heck reads IGN or any other "game media" these days? I dont know anyone that does. Last time i read a game article or review made by any of these game-medias was literally 20 years ago. Steam score, streams and youtube reviews have made them redundant. On top of that they have made themself less and less trustworthy. It seems to me these medias and "journalists" only have any influence at all because the out-of-touch boomers running the triple-A gaming industry (and society in general) think they are still the main source where people get their information from.

      The man openly did PR for his friends without disclosure, stole from other journalists that found/dug and researched actual leaks and usually follows it up by twitter crying over how leaks are bad (but only when others do it), kept getting shit-in-face with statements like "OW2 story mode will not be cancelled, rumors of those statements from devs are fake with zero truth to it (on multiple social media sites like yt, twatter and reddit iirc a week or so before blizz confirmed it to be dead officially)" because his PR buddies didnt actually have dev info/wanted to push the last pr spin, etc. Yet like in early days of kotaku and co, is one of the folks with enough backing to make it be forgotten by the general public.
      Tho to be accurate, he wasnt among the figures that kicked off GG, he was merely a notable topic because a solid fifth of the intentional lies journos pushed were from him based on the GJP leaks before jumping in to PR shift into protecting his own ass and his crony friends once the leaks happened with a hard push on the "its hate against women, just look at how even these gamer CEOs hate their female employees" (while proceeding to lie about the timeline of events in all cases, iirc one was some puzzle game the other was either Lost Empires, Sins of Solar Empire or one of the Endless games/a 4x game of the time).

    We have TONS of old games that are still great and fun to play. I see a great revival of games of past years getting popular again. Mass Effect, Fallout, Skyrim, Oblivion, No Man's Sky, etc. There are literally TONS of great games we can still play. Why continue being abused and attacked by these companies? New games are 99% garbage anyway. When the industry stops receiving OUR money, they are doomed, no matter what lies they try to force upon us.

      I actually really liked the first Hellblade but you can also play it at 60 fps on console and the world has more explorable areas as well. Add in that it was made by a team of just 20 people and to me that game is far more impressive than this glorified tech demo.
