Wow, well sorry for trying to inject a bit of fun and enthusiasm into anything. It shan't happen again. What was i thinking?Li Mu said:Xsjadoblayde said:I don't get why game's journalists that wan't to be seen as professional journalists, don't take the initiative to explore further into these more troubling issues. Like assert themselves by going into these companies and/or finding employees willing to anonymously (or not) divulge secrets. Whistleblowers, undercover information gathering. Come on! This is the perfect opportunity!!
I know! I can't believe that the escapist doesn't have a special team on the ground in Tokyo. The fact that Lizzy hasn't even bothered to become fluent in Japanese is deplorable. Shoddy work indeed.
But lets look at reality. Most news outlets simply buy their news from Reuters or other agencies. There are very few reporters (even in the news business) who actually do what you're suggesting. It just doesn't really happen anymore. Journalists are expected to write up news stories in a day or two and then move onto the next thing.
Anyway, it sounds like Konami have decided to beat their cash-cow and throw it out of the farm. It's like firing all the COD devs and then sitting in the corner and sulking. Not a great business strategy.
Edit: Ain't no biggy. I unserstand people are more serious than others here. Am one with the world again.
