GotGame: When you watch Microsoft’s press conference, you get the feeling they’ve left gamers behind, or at least the gamers that want more than soldiers, cars, and sports. The Xbox One is clearly not a console made for gamers. And when there are only three real consoles out there… and one of them is not being marketed at gamers…
Game reviews have been around since the mid-1970s. Play Meter was the first of its kind. During their time, it was mainly coin-operated machines that were covered, as certain arcade games that many of us consider classics such as Space Invaders were popular. Other publications sprang up, such as Arcade Alley in 1979. From then on, gaming journalism was on the rise. Electronic Games Magazine, Famitsu, The Games Machine, Nintendo Power, and others all gave way to gaming journalism’s growing popularity and importance. In the beginning, gaming journalism was about the love of the games, the history of the product, and giving potential consumers genuine insight. The passion was there. The commitment was there. The insight was there. And most importantly, the trust was there.
They've become nothing more than corporate shills. Rather than speaking truth to power, they're just looking at the latest clickbait no matter how false it is.
The straight up lies are annoying. Then journalists claim that a lie is an opinion. Um... no.
yea its been like this for years and only has gotten worse during covid.
they are sometimes worse than celeb. trash news ha.
"you will NOT believe what the DEV of XYZ said"
or and those are my favourites,
"XYZ game gets REMASTER TREATMENT" and you click on the link and its just a god damn mod ha.
The gaming landscape today is full of corporations trying to suck as much money out of us as possible while giving us as little as possible in return that's the biggest problem I see right now and the fact the journos should be the ones calling the gross practices out now suckle at the teat of the publishers to stay in favour and maintain working relationships to avoid being blacklisted for reviews and preview events show their interests do not align with ours.

Available today on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 or PC, is the Extinction update for World War Z: Aftermath.
My guess is because it's simple not for gamers. Well not targeted towards them anyway.
not so much as hate but disappointment, well mostly. they were expecting a games console announcement instead it was and announcement about voice and motion remote control for their TV... -_- anyone would be piss
it will be like ten times more powerful than the 360 and with 300thousand servers will have the best on line play experience so is pretty nice change from my 360.....i dont buy used games because i have no time to buy more than 4 games in a year so there isn't fear in me, besides it helps developers have more money and motivation for new games.
Responding Mr nuts: who cares If I have money.......I'm just saying that I don't care about used games. And I choose the games I want so why will developers bent me over......if you want to play a game......buy it, is not simple?
If another console give you the choice of buy used games and is your thing then buy it, it is just about choice.
Because we wanted a game console and we got a mediabox
Because the XboxOne is hating on gamers. It wants to nickel and dime and put restrictions on us. You might as well have a MS exec mug you in the street, won't be any different.
