    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.
