Bias on videogame journalism ? Seriously ? I never heard of it, never saw of it... videogame journalism is an example of objectiveness and neutrality. we all should know that..


:P

now, now, videogame journalism is still in its infancy. Many of the people who work on it are not real journalists, the vast majority of them are just players and still don´t know how to make proper journalism. Besides, it stills depends heavily on videogame companies merchandising, then come the bias.

Ever wondered why most videogame websites and magazines don´t give attention to Nintendo news and announcements? Because Nintendo hardly pay for advertsiment on their pages. That´s how videogame journalism works, unfortunately: the more you pay, the better are your reviews and the most your products appear on our articles
