As a developer, Im feeling really embarrassed to be associated with gaming. When gamers insist on ethical journalism, they are not asking for honest critique, but simply a product description with a score attached. The wound here comes from a sense that they as gamers are not getting what they “paid” for (if only with the micron of cents sites earn from their individual clicks and ad impressions). They identify first and foremost as consumers who see their relationship with the game press as being one that should exalt the readers as kings and their hobby as being virtually beyond reproach. Thanks to Gareth Wilcock for directing me to this essay. firstpersonscholar/we-will-force-gaming-to-be-free/
