What do you expect from RPS, Kotaku, IGN, and the rest of the games "journalists"? Journalistic integrity?
That would require an actual journalism degree.
I don't really follow gaming "journalism" as much as I used to, but I thought that RPS was pretty reputable, at least compared to IGN and it's contemporaries. Has something changed?
RPS is circling the drain, they don't have some key people anymore like Alice.
Well, for one, IGN has hired a few really good investigative journalists in recent years.
