But when you view it at the lowest common denominator, we are all spending time at our keyboards writing about video games, a hobby that was created for the purpose of entertainment, not to piss and moan about every second of the day, or to grow an army of internet fans with."
Games are supposed to be fun?!
Anyone in this field who thinks they're a journalist should be smacked in the eye.
Unfortunately, I think you get this mentality anywhere, and I think you get the concept of "I'm published, so I'm more important that you." Wait... you're "published" too? Oh... um... Well, "I'm MORE published than you!!" *Sigh*
I think if people just relax and forget they are reporting any news, tell it like it IS and have fun with what they are doing; those are who I want to see report and write about games.
How dare you, I exclusively play games to have something to complain about.
Enjoyable write up.
