Game Journalists Are Incompetent Fuckwits

Game journalist: n - An individual who writes professionally about computer and video games, although may not adhere to a professional work ethic. May not research or fact-check stories. May be more interested in hyperbole than actual constructive criticism of media. May be incapable of determining the mathematical average of a 0-to-10 scale. May be unable to handle criticism. May claim to be "just a blogger" or "not a journalist really", which is at least partially true. See also: Game PR.

You know, Crecente, it’s hard to take you as a legitimate video game blogger, journalist, whatever job title you fancy, when you consistently write Playstation instead of PlayStation. You only get it right when you’ve copied-n-pasted something from a SCEA press release.

Do you write XBox instead of Xbox too?

— A comment left by “Power, Max” on this Kotaku article about Sony’s new PlayStation loyalty program.

semprafi said: The same thing goes for journos that constantly write the title of a game differently than the way it is. Examples: Fable III is not Fable 3. Dragon Age II is not Dragon Age 2. This applies to Kotaku, but also just about every other site as well.
