Well, yeah

2018-07-06 07:54:12 UTC  

Game journalism is a joke

2018-07-06 07:54:18 UTC  

Far too often it's just activism, alas

2018-07-06 07:54:31 UTC  

I came close to writing for a few gaming websites

2018-07-06 07:54:37 UTC  

Wound up writing for an MMA website instead

2018-07-06 07:54:48 UTC  

It's also just another form of advertising. Which is probably where it started

2018-07-06 07:54:52 UTC  

yeah, i just want gaming news i dont want it bogged down with your activism

2018-07-06 07:55:20 UTC  

You shouldn't need a RSS feed for "gaming news" just look on steam or look on youtube for trailers

2018-07-06 07:55:41 UTC  

If I need to find a new game I literally just look on steam on the New Releases or popular

2018-07-06 07:56:12 UTC  

or back before online stores just go into EB games or game stop and find something

2018-07-06 07:57:00 UTC  

>mah big releases
neh. big releases should only be big once they are released. Anything using hype on forums or news to prop their game up, will make people disappointed

2018-07-06 07:58:54 UTC  

who is arguing any of those points though

2018-07-06 07:58:55 UTC  

noone here

2018-07-06 07:59:16 UTC  

I know

2018-07-06 07:59:31 UTC  

The whole debacle with Metal Gear 5 was publicised thanks to garme jurnalizm

2018-07-06 07:59:42 UTC  

the preorder debacle with Aliens Colonial Marines

2018-07-06 07:59:43 UTC  

etc etc

2018-07-06 08:00:08 UTC  

Then people boost the story exponentially by talking about it

2018-07-06 08:00:23 UTC  

Reminds me of how people discuss MMA on forums

2018-07-06 08:00:32 UTC  

I'm just annoyed people can have a career out of posting "game news" which comes from game companies anyway

2018-07-06 08:00:33 UTC  

Oftentimes it's some guy saying that a fighter said 'X'

2018-07-06 08:00:51 UTC  

well yeah, there's a lot of lazy 'news' sites out there

2018-07-06 08:00:56 UTC  

that basically just repost press releases

2018-07-06 08:08:33 UTC  

Absolutely lol

2018-07-06 08:09:46 UTC  

b-but it's not socialism it's "universal income"

2018-07-06 08:12:01 UTC  

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't ICE shut down sex traffickers and stuff?

2018-07-06 08:12:30 UTC  

oh my god

2018-07-06 08:12:34 UTC  

I hope they run on that

2018-07-06 08:13:23 UTC  

@franti if they do that....

2018-07-06 08:13:29 UTC  

I'm all for legalizing marijuana, but the rest is either immoral or impossible

2018-07-06 08:13:32 UTC  

God I hope they fucking run on that

2018-07-06 08:13:43 UTC  

infighting in the replies section already rofl

2018-07-06 08:14:08 UTC  

I hope Sargon livesteams from the trump protest

2018-07-06 08:14:24 UTC  

Like, I'm no economist, but even I know that increasing the minimum wage isn't feasible

2018-07-06 08:14:58 UTC  

One guy starts rambling on about Bernie for no reason

2018-07-06 08:15:01 UTC  

And argues with the OP

2018-07-06 08:15:10 UTC

2018-07-06 08:15:12 UTC  

And that Medicare for all is stupid

2018-07-06 08:15:22 UTC  

The only thing increasing the MW does make people work less hours, lose jobs and increase prices

2018-07-06 08:15:31 UTC  

Another guy who isn't even a blackflagger tries to offer some legit helpful thoughts and the OP replies with a screenshot showing the guy is a Libertarian and going 'lol'
