In this era of global easily accessible internet, of digital distribution platforms, of online discussion forums, of social media, of huge video sharing distribution platforms where anybody can upload their videos for millions of people to see, traditional video game journalism is completely obsolete. It has been for at least 10 years now, even longer.
But that's not the worst of it. It's not merely that the profession has been long obsolete and unnecessary. The worst of it is that, like so many other professions and industries, it has been almost completely taken over by far-leftist activist zealots, most of who are not even gamers by any measurable way or definition of that term. Video game journalism has since long become yet another platform for political activism, and more damningly, for political activism that has absolutely nothing to do with video games and, on the contrary, is most often fighting against gamers, not for them.
Indeed, modern video game journalism has become absolutely disgraceful because by far and large they are attacking their own target audience. Most video game journalists hate and loathe gamers, the very people they are supposed to write for and help make purchasing decisions. So not only are most video game journalists not gamers themselves, they actually hate gamers.
My message to all of you is this: Your era is over. It has been long over. Video game journalism is obsolete and dead. Nobody needs you. Nobody wants you.
Just go away. Nobody wants you. Just go away.
