So there’s one thing I need to point out in this video. He mentions that he wants gaming news sites to just die off already. Which that’s fine. Sites like Kotaku, Polygon, and Waypoint offer nothing of value. The problem, however, is that we’re not the only ones that want gaming news sites to die, so does game publishers and console manufacturers. If anything they would either want the likes of Kotaku and Polygon or have nothing at all. They want full control of information. If there’s no one to talk bad about their game or console then more people will think everything is okay. If everyone thinks everything is okay then that means more sales for shitty products. And before anyone brings up places like Reddit just remember that it’s only a couple of major subs that they need to worry about and that it easily controlled by power mods.

This doesn’t mean that we need Kotaku or Polygon. No, instead what we need is less of their journalists. We need sites that have journalistic integrity that has an in with game publishers and has the capabilities of getting interviews or previews of games. The problem is that you’re not going to get anyone like that. Because in order for you to get an in with these publishers you have to start at these major news sites. Once you start there then that’s it. You’re already controlled.
