It’s funny that Aftermath is writing about bad game journalism practices when they themselves have an initial “you must register to read our articles,” but then after registration, hit you with an actual hard paywall after a couple of articles.
If they want to paywall their content, that is their prerogative, but they could at least be up-front about it, instead of only telling me about it after I went through the trouble of creating an account.
I think there may be some room for improvement on messaging there.
I’m not entirely sure what connection your comment has to the article itself?
Aftermath is a crap site that also practices the things they complain about?
I quite enjoy this site. On my journey to replace a lot of my content consumption with RSS feeds, Aftermath found a home in my RSS reader. We are human and humans can be hypocrites but there’s no need to dismiss an entire publication because of a single author’s hypocritical stance.
RSS feeds?
What year is it?
Where in the article did they complain about registration or paywalls?
They used Outer Wilds screenshots in their article and never even mentionned that game. Is this written by a language model or something?
Games journalism is a cringe phrase that came up during gamer gate to try and justify sexism.
Y’all write fan reviews that are meant to help advertise products. That is all that has ever existed in the genre and is all anyone wants from it.

I don’t remember you appointing you as the sole representative for all gamers.
Personally, I think games can be written about beyond “game good” and “game bad”. Or maybe it comes down to whether you find gaming something important, or just a silly way to waste time.
You missed my coronation? That’s on you.
