I think its a reflection of the GamerGate effect on journalism. They know they are being watched now and bias and being bought by publishers and developers and the like has affected their reviews. They are now being neutral to games when they review them. Like they were supposed to be. Its only natural after many of the gaming sites and publications sent out commitment to integrity in journalism statements.
Believe it or not its a good thing. It means that the gaming journalism sites are put back in their place and we'll see actual reviews again and not hype spun advertisements paid for by the publishers.
