That's all it is. Seething jealousy. Just STFU and deal with it.

End of the day, they're doing what they love. And getting paid to play videogames.

Also pretty sure a decent amount don't need the cash and some, a few Polygon people for example, come from well off backgrounds.

It's a sweet gig, I respect the profession.

stop bullshitting us

No thanks

I actually can't believe I typed that either. Game journalists....who cares, right? They're such losers! All they do is sit around playing games months before they're in stores, getting paid to eat Doritos! Fucking losers! We're the real winners...we grind through mind numbing numbers all day as accountants and play games for a couple hours each night before we have to go to bed to get up early to face that excel spreadsheet in the morning. Fucking awesome!

Someday you may type something that somebody believes. It'll be an interesting day.

I was thinking, the average games journalist probably makes less than the average TNL'er.

Look, I think game journalists are dickwad hacks too. I just think trolling them endlessly will only make them more dickwad-ish, as opposed to less so, if we leave them alone. Maybe that's the point. Idk

Hey Tyler, are you an ayahuasca dude?
