Yup, videogame journalism has jump the shark years ago
All these "journalist" should just go flip burgers if they are so inept to play and review games
That Polygon Doom video was so hilariously inept I can't imagine someone who plays that poorly actually enjoying any games, much less having any worthwhile knowledge of the medium and its history.
The main problem with these gaming "news" sites these days is the business model. Most of them are thinly veiled content aggregators, that will write about literally anything just to drive clicks to their site to support their ad revenue. This drives down the quality and increases their reach. They know that most people in our sector of the internet read one headline and form an opinion on it.
The other problem is the games industry itself. There's a weird, parasitic relationship between game developers and games media. The games industry is incredibly secretive (the same is true for the film industry), so games media really have nothing to report on 99% of the time.
