    It’s either journalism, in which you talk about news that comes up. Or it’s being a freelance PR for publishers saying what they want, when they want in order to keep in the embargo ecosystem.

    But that choices has been decided long ago by the major “”“news”“” sites like IGN aren’t, never have and never will be actual journalistisc outlets, they are a sock puppet hype machine for publishers to make ads and generate meaningless 9.5/10 reviews.
