T/S: Most pathetic writing: Record Reviews or Game Reviews?

Actually, it's about ethics in gaming journalism.

writing a shitpost on reddit and then having it turn into a multi-article investigation by one of the one video game websites is kind of the best you can do in the modern world

The Kotaku headlines which make me laugh are the ones like "35 Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing Disney Dreamlight Valley."

You really can't afford to be learning the nuances of Disney Dreamlight Valley as you go. You must know these 35 things before you even think about picking it up.

Remember the anal bead cheating controversy? As much as I’d like to forget, it turns out that a lot of people are still thinking about it.

Since the competitors played live, it’s difficult to pin down a potential cheating method (One outlandish theory involves anal beads).

just ctrl+f'ing for "anal bead", just what the updates are

is this just what happens when you're running a site and you come to the realization that anything with "anal beads" in the headline will be more popular than the rest of the articles? what a moment
