A Great Editorial from G4

One of my favorite television is G4. They give great information on Video games, movies, television, comic books, and technology. Here is an article they just put on their website.

Sessler's Soapbox: Game Journalism Exclusives, "New Yorker" @$$holes

Posted by Patrick Roche-Sowa - Wednesday, October 29, 2008 4:40 PM

In case you missed it, the New Yorker recently posted an article online profiling Cliff Bleszinski and his upcoming game, Gears of War 2. Go ahead and do your homework, Adam will make more sense if you're well versed in the subject matter.

Now that you took some time with a respected publication, listen to what Adam has to say about the subject. When mainstream journalism takes a close look at the gaming industry, the outcome is usually hit or miss. This time, Adam thinks it was a miss. Not only do they talk down to gamers, but they also scoff at the idea that gaming journalism outlets depend on secrets and exclusives. Because, you know, the mainstream media has never engaged in backroom agreements, timed exclusives, and previously arranged interview parameters. Adam mad. Adam smash.

I agree with Adam Sessler's conclusions but i wouldn't get as angry as he did. He ripped the New Yorker apart.
