Are Games Journalists Part of the Industry?
Next Generation is one of the better sources of information about the games industry. It’s nice to see that they are willing to kick dirt into some faces.
This link is to a interesting article discussing the role of journalists in game industry. A choice quote:
“Are game journalists part of the game industry, or are they disagreeable maggots feeding on other people’s creativity?”
Ouch! The main thrust of the article is that is stupid for games journalists to consider themselves a part of the industry since they aren’t actually involved in producing the games.
I would agree with that. It’s a bit like a music journalist taking credit for um *sigh* Missy Higgins winning an ARIA award. An obviously a ridiculous idea.
Now, to wait for the shit-slinging to begin. Shouldn’t be too long until some journalist gets his hackles up and writes something nasty. Hooray!
