Just when I start loving Salon and their take on game journalism they spring a rancid piece of crap like their Year in Games wrap-up on me. I understand that everyone
s really busy with the holidays, but if you can
t do a story right don
t do it at all.
Instead Salon half-assed their year-end look at games by having a bunch of industry insiders post their thoughts on the year. The thing reads like a message board, a very boring message board.
This was done, according to the Salon editors, because writer Wagner James Au was too busy to get around to writing something. I can
t believe Salon seriously thinks it
s OK to tell its readers that their writers don
t have time for them.
Funny enough, this collection of other peoples
quotes with literally no outside input still kicks off with Au
s byline. Apparently he had enough time to take credit for the story he didn
t write.
