It does have relevance if one is calling out reviewers trying to state how difficult their job is, especially how painful it is to go on company-paid trips to review games (with paid hotel, food etc).

Once again i see your twisting stuff to suit your particular bias.

And you complain about Maelstrom doing that.

He's attacking them for complaining about their job despite it not being the hardest job in the world. That's like saying you can never complain about being hungry because you aren't a starving child in Africa. Its stupid in other words.

No, he's attacking them for complaining about going on company-paid trips complete with lush hotels, as a method of trying to downplay the ethical concerns about these company trips.

 

The Kotaku article IS ABOUT the ethical concerns of companies paying reviewers to go to these events.

 

Its like this

1.There is a conflict of interest here

2.Game reviewer: its not that bad, no one really enjoys these events.

 

That is what Maelstrom is attacking, this attitude.
