[quote=@Vilageidiotx] That was what I always associated it with, and it seems funny. Like, was there ever integrity in video game journalism? That's been associated with companies buying off reviews since I can remember. At least in the scandal that started that whole affair the journalist in question managed to get some puss in the bargain. [/quote] People that write about video games want to feel like they're doing something worthwhile instead of just typing up a low effort puff piece about a bit of promotional footage on Youtube. It's funny when some of them try to act like they're Woodward and Bernstein like when that Kotaku guy thought he was breaking the big story that Fallout 4 was a game being made. There are no standards in video game journalism because video game journalism is a joke field and I say this as someone who has written way too many stories/essays about dumb video games over the years which makes me about as qualified as any given video game journalist.
