I might not have much of a horse in this race as someone that only really plays Minecraft once in a blue moon (and normally swiftly puts it down because I'm not that kind of creative and I get too stressed out from survival mode), but honestly, I'm not a fan.

This says it all. This person should simply shut the fuck up and not be a games journalist.

That's like, 95% of games "journalists" these days.

Journalists in general have lost an unbelievable amount of credibility, and games bloggers are the bottom of the barrel.

I think journalists too often have way too little education and way often than not they have no idea what they're talking about. The quality of news is often low. We need better journalism. I was thinking about exactly that just yesterday, by chance.
