[Multiplatform] Midway, Sony Sports and Ubi Soft Hate EGM...

God. "Gertsmann-gate". more NeoGAF faggotry. I swear to God.

Games "journalism" is not about integrity, it's not about being honest, it's about the almighty dollar, and 1up trying to show off and say "look at us, we're the fucking bastion of review integrity" is hypocritical. I don't know what they're attempting to do here by naming a few names, honestly. It's not like these particular companies are the only perpetrators of the problems here.

All this recent bullshit should just reinforce the fact that gaming review sites are pretty much all manipulated in one form or another. It's been this way for years. Maybe people will learn to stop caring about them so much and actually fucking PLAY GAMES, but nahhhhhh. That's just wishful thinking.

But honestly, calling a boycott? Are you serious? Practically no one will participate, and unless pretty much every single person on the market stopped buying this stuff, the company won't fucking care less. No one is going to stop buying Tom Clancy games, sorry bud. Might as well boycott EVERY MAJOR PUBLISHER then, since they all do it. Have fun playing nothing for the next year.

If you're selling your collections, list what you're offing here:

I'm sure someone will be interested in Sands of Time, as it's pretty excellent.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's exactly it. To paraphase what Hsu said about this, "The reviews may be late, but they'll still be present".

Holy shit am I actually agreeing 100% with an Aardark post? What the fuck is going on.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You're missing our point, Charlie.

This isn't new, this isn't even newsworthy. It's a shitstorm for no reason whatsoever. 1up is looking for supporters as it can capitalize on the recent Gerstmann shit. Aard's right. The timing for this is fucking transparent as hell. Coincidence my ass.

Your bit about HONEST game journalism is pretty funny. There's no way, not with the current way these major sites are run, that you're gonna get anything close to "honest". Keep on fighting the power, son. And keep believing those scores EGM gives games from some non-listed companies. Keep falling for the bullshit. It's really funny.

lmao at "can't expect much from here", though. Why, because we put some honest to god thought into what we say and do instead of being reactionary retards like the rest of the internet? Have fun with your crusade. Tell me how many people you convince to stop buying the products. I'll cut off my balls if it's a two digit number.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
