A "must read" on this topic (Destiny)

Just continuing on my thoughts above regarding videogames media and the way games are covered. I went and dug up this article that I first read about a year ago. It was written by a supposed industry "insider" who chooses to remain anonymous (which always makes me skeptical)... it is at times harsh, if not downright condescending. And yet I find it impossible to dispute. It was written in response to the outburst of Gamergate, and their search to expose the "corruption" in the videogames press. The basic opinion in this article is "yeah, the videogames press is completely corrupt, but not in the stupid ways gamergate claims. It is corrupt in these other far more obvious ways that nobody seems to have a problem with".

Anyway, I found it a very interesting read.
