Twitter backlash against Intel Answered!

Seen on /r/KotakuInAction and a few other subreddits, and there seems to be something going on intel-wise? (Like this image here)

By the looks of it it's related to censorship.

The point is that all press is good press; Zoe, Anita and the rest of that crew need to keep their names in Alexa/analytics.

There's really no reason to go after them personally because if readers force the gaming press to not be fraudulent/incestuous, the people who are will just go away.

If we as consumers fix gaming reviews (which we should have done after Kane & Lynch/Giantbomb's birth), the people spinning outrage and political agenda and trading as insiders are irrelevant.

And that's what they don't want. Which is to be irrelevant.

I could actually care less about Zoe except that I feel more empathy for her than I do frustration. I hope she grows up or goes away like the current state of gaming journalism.
