MODERATORS
 

Not to continue beating a dead horse, this article is really about mainstream media's relationship with video games, or the lack thereof. For the first time in my life, I pay for a subscription to news, because the same problems that crop up from getting news from reddit happen just as easily here in the fediverse. There are actually really great pieces written about video games and their creators in the New York Times, but they've only got a couple of bylines between them, and a frequency that matches how many people they've got working on it. Meanwhile, they do have a section under Arts dedicated to Dance, which I somehow doubt has anywhere near as many readers interested in the subject.

I think more people who pay to subscribe to NYTimes care more about live theater than video game news.

How about CNN, ABC, BBC, etc.?

How many times are you going to move the goal posts?

No one is watching CNN for gamer news.

I didn't move the goalposts. I brought up some of the other publications listed in the article.
