Honestly, the thing that strikes me the most is the polarization in response that's reaching absolutely schizophrenic levels.
Some games get shredded for the most minor issues, while others get glazed to the moon even when their issues/limitations are undeniable.
The politicization of gaming is doing untold damage, as is the relentless grievance faming of the new media.
Drama might line their pockets in the short-term, but eventually the chickens will come home to roost. People will tire of the relentless negativity and frankly deliberate ignorance in many cases on the part of these commentators.
I mean, when we have people cheer-leading product failures and studio closures, what do they really think this is going to result in the long term ? If the market shrinks prices will rise, release schedules will thin, and choices will reduce.
