So now they don't need to pay someone to write a fake review of the next EA treat, they can get it for free with a click of a button.
Need better arguments than that. For every Jimquisition there are 10, maybe 50 worthless sellouts out there. The industry died about over 10 years ago.
Being there when the Gamespot/Giant bomb origin story happened feels like being a boomer already lol.
Plus most journalism and gig writing was already destroyed years ago by algorithmic writing engines far, far less capable of producing human-sounding text than ChatGPT.
The industry has been effectively dead since before 2010, you are fighting over scraps. Critical investigation journalism will continue unabated, unsung with it's criticisms unaddressed, as usual.
Low effort even for you. Game journalism is bourgie shit with actual zero net contribution to society, they can find work elsewhere, perhaps they should've seen the writing on the wall once they settled for a paycheck instead of sticking up against publishers. Again none of this is new, game journalism has a long history of being shit and nothing changed over the past 2 decades other than continuing to get worse.
I'm not losing my sleep over some IGN writer. Bad socialist of me I guess.
Class traitors. You can be a worker and still have a shit worthless job. They don't even have solidarity among themselves. The few rare good leftist/progressive journalists constantly get shit on by gamers and the mainstream continues nodding along from paid review to paid review. Of course if they didn't the whole thing would collapse.
But most of all they even lack solidarity with the general population, where was their solidarity when they didn't report on all the abuse and bad conditions? Until it became a huge scandal nobody said anything. Again except for the extremely rare exception most of them don't care or are not wililng to risk the paycheck over it.
I said in my first comment people need to find a better hill to die on. I'm not in favor of AI at all. But it seems next time we will be deeply concerned about AI taking the jobs of NYT and WPO workers. A sad day when you can no longer earn money by publishing imperialist propaganda.
None of these games journalists want to write about games. Many despise gamers (I can sympathize). They want real journalism jobs, and couldn't qualify, so they are where they are until they can get something in an area they really want, like news or opinion writing.
They can't qualify bc journalism barely exists as an industry. There's a shell of a shell left. All publishers care about is producing functional propaganda and driving user engagement, and neither of those things require any journalistic skills.

That’s actual people losing jobs, you “socialist”.

Wow.
This is what you do every time you encounter an argument that would require you to do something more intensive than copy/paste :farquaad-point:
None of these games journalists want to write about games. Many despise gamers (I can sympathize). They want real journalism jobs, and couldn't qualify, so they are where they are until they can get something in an area they really want, like news or opinion writing.
This is probably a gift in disguise.
