Actually its the opposite. Reviews are opinions, thats the trivial one but not checking facts is just bad journalism. Its already bad enough that we have sides of the community putting a lot of spin on things but when a gaming media isn't doing their homework and causes misinformation then they should be criticized. They are suppose to be the professional insiders of our industry. We should hold them accountable instead of giving them a free pass or we will never see the end of it. |
Fair point. But the issue at hand here is remote control functionality. Its hardly a major feature or something that would be a deal breaker for anyone. I'm not concerned with defending polygon. I don't even visit their website. And if not for people constantly complaining about how bias they are I probably would know nothing about them. That mistake could be an example of incompetence and bad journalism, but its harldy indicative of some huge conspiracy.
People mad at polygon for being bad at their job or inconsistent is one thing, but I don't see enough evidence to accuse them of much more than that.
