Just the idea of Games Journalism is a little funny. Is the guy who writes about next year's Lionel models a Model Train Journalist. Is the guy writing a review of the new mini reese's cups a Snack Journalist?

Good moooorning, thread. I see that there have been many spectacular new developments. Gaming journalism is saved.

To be fair, when it's a multi-billion dollar industry it's perfectly fair for the people that cover it to be refereed to as journalists and treated as such. Now if these fucks could understand that having respect and pay of a journalist also means following some ethical guidelines and actually doing your job as opposed to copying and pasting gaming company press releases, that would be grande.

Not sure if this got mentioned, but Robin Arnott, one of the 5 guys, is Chair of the IndieCade Night Games. Additionally, Depression Quest was one of the games featured at last years Night Games. Oh, and Ann Anthropy won "Game Changer" in that year too.Slanderer posted:no, i mean, i'm pretty sure they never actually mentioned this directly. maybe klepek said something on his blog, but he is a goddamn goober. Some journalists explicitly said "Why aren't we talking more about this?" I dunno if it was via a published article or a personal blog, but it's still the opposite of how they're reacting about Zoe.

You've changed, guys. It used to be about the video games. It was our culture built on a foundation of Italian plumbers and blue hedgehogs. We we're a mighty culture of kings and queens. Now you dare to tarnish our glorious reign of gamer culture with your foul accusations of corruption within in our journalism ranks. Why do you throw rocks at our towering reign over the "normals"? Have you forgotten the war we had to wage with the bitterly vicious high school jocks to get where we are today? I don't, but I know we did because my older guild member told me. You would slander the good name of such majestic and golden developers like the sweet Zoe Quinn. And for what? To call her out on her sexual affairs? That is her personal business. I don't care if she manipulated the industry by getting involved with gaming journalists. She is a woman and must be treated with respect. And by respect I mean you agree with everything she says and support her video game development. Do you know how hard we had to fight to get girls into our clubhouse? Whatever, go be mad just because Zoe is a woman. You're probably just an obese, unshaven, slovenly, sexist, racist, teenager. We don't need you poisoning our culture. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to REAL video game journalism where I write about how I saw Link in the grain of wood and how sexist Nintendo is for not giving Princess Peach her own RPG.

It was so bad that the industry had to create things like Nintendo Power because otherwise no one would be covering their games. Time went on and most mainstream media outlets never put in a serious effort into reviewing or covering games, so gaming journalism sort of evolved independent of it. And because of Nintendo Power and that video game websites depended on the industry they are covering for ad money, it became the dick sucking bullshit monster we know today.

As the market becomes crowded and money starts to evaporate, these saps are going to have to Cuckmand & Cuckqueor.

That's why Nintendo is doing stuff like Nintendo Direct or that Treehouse stream during E3 that lasted for days, they're cutting out the middle man. Gaming Journalism keeps making GBS threads on their games, so why should they continue to indulge them?

Probably the best addition that Giant Bomb has ever made, though, to be fair, the bar is set pathetically low because they hired Patrick "I am super sensitive and here's a Spelunky Stream" Klepek to their staff and didn't insist he stop working for them when he moved to Chicago.
