I believe the medias job is to inform period. Digital Foundry's video wheter intentionally or not is influencing purchasing decisions on the game and with the developers history of Anti-lgbt comments(not just ingame mind you) i don't think its unreasonable to inform your viewership of that.
DF/Eurogamer don't want to rock the boat with their viewership which is fair, but that is a choice and for that i feel my criticisms are waranted.
It is not the media's job, nor its responsibility, to be a foot soldier for whatever little self-righteous moral crusade you wish to further or deem important. It is their job to inform, in as best an objective sense as they can, the facts pertinent to topic (as John was doing). At that point, it is the individual's prerogative to take initiative to inform themselves and exercise their rights as consumers in accordance to what they choose to support respective to their moral compass. Has it ever occurred to you that you (nor anyone at ERA) are not the arbiter of that? Because your entire above position arrogantly launches off that premise without even allowing the question to be asked.
Who are you people to believe you have the right to tell anyone anything, much less demand that your beliefs warrant some pathetic disclaimer above anyone else's? Especially when the site you advocate for and defend has absolutely NO interest nor tolerance for allowing
any debate to take place, only to ban people the second the mere semblance of impropriety appears, which is seeming to accomplish nothing so well as to push good, well-intentioned people away, such as John?
If you want the media to "
inform" people of your moral grandstanding, then fucking earn it and actually demand that shithole of a site stand up for that position instead of simply silencing those who don't agree with it.
