The Game Industry Is About The Games

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday November 22, 2005 @07:36AM from the personality-clash dept.

Over at Gamespot Bob Colayco fires back at David Jaffe, who you may recall referred to game journalists as vultures, saying that Jaffe's ideas about what journalism should be are just as uninteresting as the most sycophantic game plug. From the article: "Am I the only one who picks up rags like Entertainment Weekly, skips the fluff in front, and goes straight to the reviews sections? Maybe that attitude is really dehumanizing. But I don't think it's any coincidence that other entertainment industries started going to crap when people started caring more about our manufactured pop stars and their gossip than they did about the product. This is why we have reality shows with the likes of Jessica Simpson."

I NEVER said game journalists were vultures. That was Next-Gen.Biz....they were talking about my blog entry when they said that. I swear, I didn't expect people to be so upset because I was asking for something I wanted (meatier game writing). To those offended- and it seems there have been a good amount- sorry if there are some folks who don't agree with my request. I didn't know having an opinion or desire contray to your own was so offensive. David
