Mainstream media journalists are a fascinating group of people. While it’s true that they report “news,” to say that they report the facts is a stretch. Their job title might be “journalist,” but their true occupation is activism. They are effectively paid to push an agenda.
Mainstream game journalists share a lot of similarities but with the added problem of not being willing to do their job in the first place. They hardly focus on the game and if they do, you can tell they did so because they were obligated to. No, their primary concern is to tell you that the game didn’t have enough representation, or its themes were too conservative, or that they didn’t talk enough about things like trans issues.
