Getting bribed to do something is the definition of a job. by Ben's Mother, Mrs. Kuchera 11/25/2017, 2:38pm PST
A games journo's clients are his advertisers, and his product is his readers. A games developer's potential clients are the games journo's readers, and his product is his game. If a developer wants to put his product in front of his potential clients, he can either buy advertising from the journo, or he can convince the journo to showcase it for free - either by explaining why his game will attract more readers than the competition, thereby helping the journo satisfy his actual paying advertisers, or by sending Zoe Quinn round to suck him off. What part of this model is incompatible with Ben's stupid self-entitled tweet? The part where he isn't so excited about getting offered a free game to play, he throws his razor scooter down in the driveway? Grow up.
