| Intrinsic said: Completely agree with this article. And it makes perfect sense. Game reviews are free, so if you are getting a service that is paid for by ad revenue then what truly matters is attention and not quality. I think this is mainly why this kinda nonsense didn't happen back in the 90s and 80s. Back then we all bought mags. |
This is the point of the article. Simply this.
Of course everybody is entitled to his opinion, but too ofter we have biased reviews, and often reviews written by people who do not have any skill or experience in videogames. An opinion must have some knowledge/experience/integrity behind; too easy to say 'this is my opinion', an opinion has zero weight if you don't know what you are talking about. If I review a car, I drive it, without having any experience of handling, etc, how the hell my opinion should be taken seriously ? The point is, too many people, journalists, random people write reviews just because the have keyboards and video equipment.
Nobody is discussing the opinion of competent and honest people.
