The game Death Stranding 2 is getting really high review scores both from regular gamers and from most journalists.
There's one significant outlier, though: GameSpot gave the game just a 7 out of 10, which is the lowest it has got from such a publication.
The reason? The woke game journalist who wrote the review considers the game "sexist" and "misogynist".
The big irony here is that, inadvertently, this actually works as an advertisement for the game: It immediately made me more interested in the game, and more likely to consider purchasing it at full price.
If a "woke" professional game journalist calls a game names, it immediately makes the game more interesting, it immediately raises interest in finding out more about the game. So it works in the exact opposite way than the journo intended.
I would like to once again repeat a message I have been writing to any professional video game journalists who might be reading this:
Your profession is obsolete. Professional video game journalism is dead. NOBODY CARES about you, your articles, and particularly your reviews. You may think that you have some kind of say, that your opinion matters, that it may affect people's purchasing decisions. News flash: It doesn't. Nobody cares what your opinion is. Professional video game journalism is dead, and good riddance!
Just go away gracefully.
