    Thank you for watching as you watch you'll come to understand that while the game journalism is technically getting smaller, that doesn't mean it's better. In fact it's worse.

      Exactly, who the heck reads IGN or any other "game media" these days? I dont know anyone that does. Last time i read a game article or review made by any of these game-medias was literally 20 years ago. Steam score, streams and youtube reviews have made them redundant. On top of that they have made themself less and less trustworthy. It seems to me these medias and "journalists" only have any influence at all because the out-of-touch boomers running the triple-A gaming industry (and society in general) think they are still the main source where people get their information from.

      Tho to be accurate, he wasnt among the figures that kicked off GG, he was merely a notable topic because a solid fifth of the intentional lies journos pushed were from him based on the GJP leaks before jumping in to PR shift into protecting his own ass and his crony friends once the leaks happened with a hard push on the "its hate against women, just look at how even these gamer CEOs hate their female employees" (while proceeding to lie about the timeline of events in all cases, iirc one was some puzzle game the other was either Lost Empires, Sins of Solar Empire or one of the Endless games/a 4x game of the time).

    We have TONS of old games that are still great and fun to play. I see a great revival of games of past years getting popular again. Mass Effect, Fallout, Skyrim, Oblivion, No Man's Sky, etc. There are literally TONS of great games we can still play. Why continue being abused and attacked by these companies? New games are 99% garbage anyway. When the industry stops receiving OUR money, they are doomed, no matter what lies they try to force upon us.
    WE HAVE ULTIMATE POWER BECAUSE WE GENERATE ALL THE MONEY. Never forget this.

      I actually really liked the first Hellblade but you can also play it at 60 fps on console and the world has more explorable areas as well. Add in that it was made by a team of just 20 people and to me that game is far more impressive than this glorified tech demo.
