  Because with gaming journalism, they’re literally copying developers’ PR statements – zero reviewing, zero own opinion, and it’s still presented as review.

    Why do you assume that this is limited to gaming journalism?

      Outside gaming journalism I believe the term is "native advertising". Obligatory Last Week Tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_F5GxCwizc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_F5GxCwizc

      I’m not assuming it is limited to gaming journalism, but I can only prove that it is happening in gaming journalism, and I don’t want to make any unproven accusations.

    I have had full stories copied wholesale into computer mags. You hire a good writer to make it not read like a press release.

      In turn, game companies hire good writers to not make their copy read like a press release so journos don't have to change as much.
