      ​@@beauwalker9820 thier target audience are tourists. As in, potential gamers, not actual gamers.
      The best example is the controversial "Game journalist mode" difficulty setting back when super mario odyssey first demo'd back in 2017.
      Same E3 was also the meme where a game journalist couldn't even pass the tutorial level of cuphead.
      If a game is looks too hard, the average "normie" would just drop the game. So journalists exist to judge the game's playability for non-gamers.
      But ofc, as we see the game journalist climate right now, these a-holes actually HATE gaming as a whole, which is counter-productive.
      For some perspective, I am a game developer, who needs to be aware that these a-holes exist, and need to stay the f*ck away from them.

Give druglords our money for fake anti-depressant substitutes? smoke away our lungs and give our kids or neighbors the same problems? and cause more pollution?

      Some weapon systems are so hard to use that making mistakes using them will cost a butt ton of money.
      So they made a simulator video game that trains soldiers to use some weapons correctly.
      Javelins are one example.
      Another is that drone operators basically use game controls to run drones.
      it's not dissimilar to piloting a vehicle in a video game. There's just no respawn.
      which means drone operators could just, TRAIN WITH A DIGITAL ONE IN A VIDEO GAME!!!

      All of them owned by G/O media.
      as much as we want to run Kotaku to the ground, that won't happen easily when a dying bussiness just be supported by its sister compnanies.
      and as we've seen with some other game news outlets, they also have a network of support.
      if Kotaku goes under, its journos could just be hired by other game journos sites with the same agenda.
