Read past the first paragraph. He isn't saying it is a treefort that you aren't welcome in. He is saying you shouldn't WANT to be a part of the industry. You should want to be separate so that you can stay as unbiased as possible.Originally Posted by shidoshi
I think his point is that Game Reviews, Previews and coverage is press release after press release to keep the industry afloat and keep companies advertising. If videogames magazines all panned the wholly mediocre games, their advertising revenue would go through the floor when the sales went down. While this would eventually lead to innovation in the form of better games on the whole to keep the industry alive, it would hurt the magazines and websites so it isn't worth it to them.
Read it again. He is saying you shouldn't want to be associated with the industry in the way you are putting forth.
