So, sexual payola committed by people who actually hate games and the people who play them, and are actively trying to get games destroyed by bitching over the stupidest things.
And unlike the music industry, they're not even ashamed of being caught out for payola, never mind sexual payola, they instead defend it, and double down on the game-wrecking.
Does that sound about right, boiled down into a nutshell? Because yeah, that tracks with everything else going on.
Payola is very open and blatant to the point that nothing could be trusted.
Games journos/streamers will just straight up approach someone in public and say, "You want your game reviewed? Contact me and we can talk price." It's not happening otherwise, unless you have some clout that they can use to bring attention to themselves, or they can manufacture something out of you as they did in GG.
I would never give media people the time of day again unless I actually have evidence that they're not like this.
