I just love how trying to lie to gamers has turned into the entire establishment collapsing under the weight of scrutiny placed upon them by one community after another.
None of this would be here if they'd just gone - "Yeah, I don't think our ethics guidelines and policies are being followed to the letter in every piece we publish. We're going to look into it and work harder at supplying the best content you can find out there. Thanks for tolerating us going through this process and keep keeping us on our toes!"
But they didn't and now it's common to hear regular folks discuss things openly amongst, and with, strangers which would have been considered cookie just ten years ago.
It's actually really, really funny how the rejects of the media hand spoiled the whole bunch. They thought with their degrees they'd be sent to cover wars and societal change and instead were asked to sit down and play Pokemon 3 Remakes. In their hubris and their spite, they failed themselves and their superiors.
And the sad thing is they couldn't be satisfied with what most people would consider a dream job. They had to be more than just influencers. They had to be Mandators.
The thing is that it's not a dream job to them and not because they want to mandate things. Oppressinator hit the head on the head above.
Imagine being a journalist and going to school for years, being in debt from it and being introduced at parties and to family members as they guy who has to write about Pokemon vidya. Someone once brought up the point to me once that really made sense is that the reason why these journalists hate their audience so much is because they hate themselves most of all.
