    She (?) has a point, the point is “reviews are written by people that clearly did not play the game to a meaningful extent”, not “we need vods”.

    The person answering is not engaging with the issue, maybe he’s stupid, maybe he’s unwilling to engage with the matter at hand.

      If you’re still treating literally anything the “ethics in gaming journalism” crowd says with good faith I don’t know what to tell you.

      This is just setting up more hoops to jump through so chuds can say “this person didn’t even play the entire game so their assertion that I just don’t like this game because there’s minorities in it isn’t valid”

        I don’t really follow any of that, don’t know of any crowd.

        Gaming is a huge deal and I’m 300% sure there’s a huge push for marketing AKA journalism to sell. I don’t even need to read a single line from a single article to know that must be true.

        Make of this what you will :)
