But this gets back to something that I know is a bugaboo of yours: what exactly is game journalism? Is it just previews, features, reviews and the occasional opinion piece, each dosed with a sprinkling of snark? Or is it something more? The “something more” — that would be reporting –often requires access to developers and publishers, time to cultivate a variety of sources and money to travel—things that the amateur journalist may be unable to procure or unwilling to provide. That would be a shame, because this young medium still needs to be carefully and forcefully reported on for reasons beyond the promotional; far more so, in my humble opinion, than older art forms whose processes are much better understood.
