This thread is fucking long.
All I want to say is
1) I consider video game art, at least some of them are, so fuck you Rogert Ebert.
2) I hold video game journalism as high a standard as other fine art/music/movie reviews.
It's one thing a car magazine or a camera magazine run 10 page ad and then give the car/camera of the year to said advertiser, its entirely different thing a video game magazine suck dick of the major game publisher. And if you think video game mag are just product reviews, fuck you.
3) Maybe in another country, but I hold higher standard for the United States. I immigrated from another country when I was in high school. The States is now my country and I will do what I can (ban/unsubscribe/etc) to discourage said sleazy behavior.
