S

You can't spell ignorance without ign

The first few letters of the word ignorance

Every mayor studio was 30 minutes from IGNs offices, any publisher could drive there and buy an editor for good reviews.

Gaming journalism is just a vehicle for old millennials to prioritize promoting their cultural ideologies via gaming commentary. Gen z and alpha have it right despite their lack of attention span. Just get direct news and reviews via yt and tiktok. You can even avoid the unnecessary woke framing and shallow video essays if you find the right content creators.

goobergate forced traditional game journos to make a choice, either side with consumers or side with businesses.
considering there's now rumored to be less than 20 video game journalists in the entire industry they got what they deserved for siding with the publishers.
because why would consumers get their game reviews from people openly working against their own readers interests

>>718560127
why do consumer and publishers have to be at odds

>>718560235
because publishers are parasites

Make them suffer, we don't want it over all too soon.

>>718560235
Because gamers care about playing games and publishers care about making money. These two interests will never align

>>718558889 (OP)
I liked ign, no one ever took their reviews seriously so it was okay if they were garbage, most people used ign for cheats and looking at trailers anyway

>>718560235
all publishers want is to make money
all consumers want is to play good games
of course they are at odds

>>718558889 (OP)
Yes, I do. Good riddance.

OOOOOOooooommmmmmmmmmm

>>718563846
but black dynamite Ill pay money for good games

Their new web page design fucking sucks penor and it's annoying to find old cheat pages.
I still go on there, from time to time because I believe in going to independent websites.
But fuck the new site is aids to navigate.
AND STOP PUTTING MOBILE NEWS IN THE PC GAMING SECTION YOU FUCKS I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WORDLE.

>>718564016
making good games is really hard
and if you fuck up... there's still money to be made by gaslighting people into thinking its good actually

>>718558889 (OP)

>>718559740

ive seen so many twitch faggots streaming a game early saying they love the game, never touching it after the initial week then months later saying how shit the game is
