EGM mocks Endless Ocean - instead of reviewing it

The writers at EGM are obviously upset that their medium is dying. Nobody wants to read their magazine to find out gaming news months after it happens. Endless Ocean is going to be fricking awesome.

 

So they react by alienating more people? Yeah that makes PERFECT sense. Ever considered that maybe they really don't consider it a game?

 Yes, that seems to be exactly what they're doing.

 The nature of the videogaming market is changing, and rather than trying to broaden their appeal to embrace that change and take advantage of this opportunity, they've decided to cling desperately to their hardcore base by flipping potential new customers the finger. Go away, our magazine isn't for your kind.

 EGM is like a drowning man in a stormy sea who's too afraid he'll lose his grip on his life preserver to reach for the rope he's been tossed. We'll see how long that life preserver keeps him afloat.

Every day people do things that don't make sense. Some of those people are magazine editors.
