"Hey you're a gaming journalist, could you try gaming journalism. Preferably a lot of it?"
OH MY GOD, THEY WANT US TO ACTUALLY DO THE THING?!?
WE QUIT
Good.
Bye.
Edit: Almost forgot. For what it's worth: If it's 50 total, and there's like 25 of them working there, that should really easy. If it's 50 per person, that is highly unreasonable.
It was mentioning somewhere that they have 7 writers. So each journo needs to make 7 guides per week. Is not that unreasonable if we are talking about games they've already played but if you expect them to play the game and write it is not something they can easily do.
This would require playing the games, which would ruin their skimming reddit for current 'hot thing' nuggets, funny screenshots, and edgelord comments to write filler articles about.
Kotaku writers are the type of people who would see playing video games as actual labor, and even more so if those are games they wouldn't pick for themselves. The "life is strange" crowd would see playing Helldivers as doing hard time.
