Games journalism is people who hate gamers interviewing people who hate games for people who don't play games.

A modern version of the Frank Zappa quote:

"Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read."

Yea. I used to get gaming magazines all the time. I started noticing something off when I noticed an obsession with getting women in gaming because I knew women who were into games but also knew that men generally played certain games a lot more so that seemed odd

From what I hear PC Gamer didn't always stand for Politically Correct Gamer.

Gone are the days of Nintendo Power. A magazine about vidya for vidya lovers (and how to beat certain games that were literally impossible otherwise unless by brute force autism)

Nintendo Power was 100% a paid subscription to have advertising delivered to your home.

But it was still awesome.
