![G15 Why does #GAMERGATE claim there is corruption in game journalsim? You are so much better off if you do not bite the hand that feeds you. And do not patronize me by telling me the reader is the customer--your real customer is the one that pays you your revenue. And it is game industry advertisers." 2001) Trip Hawkins hhttps://web.archive.org/web/20060812041408/http:// m?blog_id-1895 "The games press is often painted as cor- rupt, lazy and - as I mentioned - funda- mentally stupid. This is because we tend to be corrupt, lazy and fundamentally stupid. It's not entirely our fault." -(2005) Kieron Gillen http://gi "Just today, as I sat down to write this piece, I saw that there were games journalists winning PS3s on Twitter. There was a competition at those GMAs -tweet about our game and win a PS3. One of those stupid, crass things. And some games journos took part. All piling in, opening a sharing bag of Doritos, tweeting the hashtag as instructed And today the winners were announced. Then a whole big argument happened, and other people who claim to be journalists claimed to see nothing wrong with what those so-called journalists had done. [...] Games publishers and games press sources are all trying to keep you happy, and it's much easier to do that if they work together. Publish ers are well aware that some of you go crazy if a new AAA title gets a crappy review score on a website, and they use that knowledge to keep the boat from rocking. Every one has a nice easy ride if the review scores stay decent and the content of the games are never challenged. Websites get their exclusives. Ad revenue keeps rolling in." 12012) Robert Florence http://gi p://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-10-24-lost-humanity-18-a-table-of-doritos You have no reason to strive for accuracy in mod game reporting under this system. You get clicks when you write about crazy rumors, and you get clicks when you repeat them to say they're not true. It doesn't matter if your readers trust you, as long as they click. I've heard stories of writers being told to write up rumors and speculation they don't believe to be true in order to gain clicks. Editors call it "joining the conversation." -(2013) Ben Kuchera http://web.archive.o arcade.com/report/article/ad 20140725224557/http://www.penny- "I'm a triple A producer. That's where I live. I've seen the emails come down about the E3 Demos and press jun- kets. And I'm line level in a producer pit, so chances are I'm the one booking your flights and your bar tabs and spa treatments and catering and rooms full of HD tvs and alienwares and Razor Keyboards with neon f------ under carriages and none of these are about the game. We are plying you with Payola we are not just expecting you not to be impartial, we are f------ banking on it."
