Couple of things on this. If you think Games Journalism/Writing is corrupt, and that the whole Zoe Quinn thing is disgusting, why is no one going after the writer involved? surely he is the problem, not the fact that Miss Quinn had a relationship with him that may have influenced his writing. At the end of the day, he still wrote that. Even though it was proved he didn't.
Second, yes I care about this. These people are clearly passionate about this, they are not working in this industry for the money, they want to have a job they enjoy and there is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps calling it Journalism is a bit wrong, but then if they say "I am games writer" people might think they write the stories for games and not stories about games. So they can't really win.
Third I have to agree with all the people who say that this thread is a bit hypocritical. If you don't like what the writers and content creators of this site do, why the hell are you on the forums? why have you signed up to the site? if you are so totally against the whole thing, then why are you here? just to fuel a fire that is getting increasingly stupid as time goes on?
If you only want to read reviews from 'real' gamers, then think about that statement. These writers might get paid to write and play games, but they doesn't make them any less of a gamer.
