What do you expect from RPS, Kotaku, IGN, and the rest of the games "journalists"? Journalistic integrity?
That would require an actual journalism degree.
I don't really follow gaming "journalism" as much as I used to, but I thought that RPS was pretty reputable, at least compared to IGN and it's contemporaries. Has something changed?
Well, for one, IGN has hired a few really good investigative journalists in recent years.
RPS is circling the drain, they don't have some key people anymore like Alice.
