The importance of accurate journalism is the fact that metacritic scores affect game sales and in turn the livelihood and in some cases existence of developers. A game that gets a 7 and deserves a 9 will lose sales because of that fact. If you want to report on games do it professionally, accurately, and considerately. When you don't you're damaging more than game sales.

Oh, but those reviewers are often aware of this.

And guess which console they want to fail...



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
