Why does the video game industry have the worst writers?

Shitty pay. Plus they have to write a story that leads to lots of action- because games are games first and foremost.

Even if it is just reporting news they seem to get it wrong.  I don't think they can actually write a decent story even if it is basically fed to them.

I apparently did not read the OP very thouroughly. But yeah- game journos are pretty terrible.
