Ethics Are Dead In Games Journalism

From EGMR, "In 2012, I wrote a column that argued games journalism to be problematic ascertaining that truth and ethics in games journalism were all but dead. I had come to the conclusion that many gaming journalists were nothing more than vehicles for PR and the money of publishers. However, I was highly naive and somewhat blinded as an individual who appreciated the indie scene to see that manipulation and deceitful behaviour lurked in the indie development community. I think this needs to be discussed and deliberated upon, because as it stands the professional separation between the creators of games and those who write about games has by all means broken down over the past few years".
