Such a great group of commenters when the apology isn't good enough.
Honestly when looking around for a place that is active that talks about games I figured how bad could this site be, despite reading countless forums telling me to stay away.
Jesus 31 pages and way too many people calling for his firing. Get over it, he's one of the best personalities at IGN, and for better or worse it is one of, if not the most popular sites that deal with the topics we like so unless anyone wants to start a career building a new website in the volatile market of gaming I'm totally in favor of letting this go.
I used to go to that site when it was IGN64, there'd be weeks where there was no news at all, that's the nature of the industry and they have to have a news cycle or people stop getting paid.
The bigger issue, and the one that's almost starting to get brought up, is that reviewers don't have enough time to do all this. He's writing, recording, editing, formatting, then recording an entire video review, for 1 article....oh and playing on the low end a 16 hour game. Imagine playing something as big as Witcher and needing a review out on time?
Probably the most thankless industry to work in, because the target audience is too entitled.
Review not up in time? People cry
Review score not high enough? People cry
Favorable review of an exclusive? Fanboy War
Favorable review of an EA or Activision game? Someone got paid
