And even the bigger sites might be forced to adjust the final score to please some publishers. What we as gamers really should do is buying paper magazines instead. That way the magazine isn't dependent on ad revenue and can't be forced by publishers to give better scores to certain games. But we're all too fucking lazy and CHEAP to do that, aren't we? We want everything for free and on our terms. WE have created this situation, no matter how indirect |
I understand your frustration but i think you are being a little cynical. Magazines were just another casualty of the world becoming more digital. A couple of publications went away outside of gaming. But what are people to do now? I cant speak for everyone but i have a subcription to Game Informer, gamers hate that publication because of its ties to Gamestop (unfortunate as it is legit good), Sony doesnt have there PSM anymore, there is PC world (not everyone is PC gamer), Xbox magazine (not everyone is an Xbox gamer) and EGM which is only quarterly? are they even still doing print or did that die again?
And lets be real do you think people really want to wait a month to see if a game is good or not?
