Valkyria00, much of the mainstream media is occupied with elitist man children who cannot see beyond the scope of their niche.

While entitled to their own opinions and podcast content, it should be noted that their relevance and credibility wither with each instance of disregard and animosity.


By all means, let them devalue their existence and further render their voices the obsolescence it caters upon.

 

I don't think they are dooming themselves to obscurity seeing as how most people that go to websites about videogames and listen to podcasts are core gamers that largely agree with them.

Dooming themselves and hindering their credibility and relevance aren't quite the same thing.

 

Sure, they'll have a market to cater to but it's market being condensed around a larger, growing market.   Consider a media company that failled to cater to the TV (radio only) market once TV became the dominant media format.  Yes, they maintained a market but it became a niche market.  Worse for 1up is that they seem to have contempt for the new market.  Now again, imagine that media company staying radio only AND showing obvious and blatant disregard, contempt and animosity for the new TV media format.   Not exactly a media company with a great future prevelance, wouldn't you say?
