Dude, I don't know where all this hostility is coming from. But I'm getting tired of you calling me a hypocrite and questioning my integrity. I play all types of games on all types of systems because that's how one covers the industry. Why do I need to enjoy all of it? There are plenty of crooked journalists out there who simply conform to what publishers demand of them, spitting out puff pieces and dishonest reviewers. I'm not one of them. If I see a problem in the industry I'm going to point it out. I'm going to make a big deal out of it. If I don't, who will exactly?

Is the NYT reporter who attends a Donald Trump speech and afterward writes an op-ed chastising him a hypocrite? No, it's his/her job to cover things he or she might not like, so he/she can provide consumers with information and analysis. The gaming media is not supposed to be a cheerleader for the industry; it's supposed to be a watch dog.

I'd be happy to have a civil debate over the state and future of the video game industry, but I'm not going to suffer any more ad hominem attacks. So start treating me and this forum with respect, or kindly move on to a new target.

Great job. Keep buying, playing and supporting the very games you have a problem with. In fact I see you've played a few of the games I've had my name on. Thanks for the support!

By the your analogy is flawed, a better one would be a NYT reporter who donates regularly to Donald Trump, buys Donald Trump merch, attends a Donald Trump speech and afterward writes an op-ed chastising him, and urges others not to vote for him, and votes for Donald Trump themself.

You're fueling the very machine you're fighting to starve.

I hope you find peace. God bless.
