Half of this article’s word count seems to be the writer snarking about how he doesn’t care about these games and doesn’t know much about them. I guess it’s good to show contempt for your audience…

I don’t know. There have been plenty of times I’ve wondered if people in gaming communities actual enjoy games at all, instead of just talking about how bad they are.
Maybe they are just tapping into that market?

You should’ve seen the article they did on the Valheim update. The journalist said he only played the game once and just copy/pasted patch notes interlaced with stories about his CNC machine.

lol yeah that’s the one. It was a washing machine.
However, I don’t like the idea of doing a dry news post, so I’m going to interject information about the washing machine malfunction I’m currently dealing with, so that the quoted press release seems incredibly colourful by comparison.

That’s what the new RPS reporting looks like eh?

This one? Yeah, he kinda sucks.
There’s also this one, which sounds a bit better imo.
