Because gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry that most of the world's population partakes in. People enjoy gaming, and they like having reputable and honest reviewers/journalist to go to when they're having doubts about something in the industry(a game, a company, etc.).

This is a very common diversionary tactic used for almost anything. "Oh who cares about [insert subject of controversy here]? It doesn't matter! Focus on something ELSE!"

Don't even get me started on the appeal to worse problems fallacy.
