Understanding Game Journalism Lecture (part 1)

[TheProtagonistHD]

I can see how getting games early from a publisher could cause a moral dilemma, it would be great to deliver reviews before anyone else to get more views and subscribers, being forced to rate a game highly in return for the privilege of getting it early would make honest reviewers feel like frauds.

I recognised Jeff Gerstmann from his reviews, I had no idea he created Giant Bomb but now I know why, thanks for uploading this.

@TheProtagonistHD Thanks for the feedback! The world of game journalism and it's inner workings are not perfect, but it's a system that has created jobs for many ambitious people who were looking for a way in the game industry. As with any established system, people will at one point be tempted to abuse its mechanics.
