@cpsask There's this toxic idea in gamer culture of "Journalist Difficulty" in video games; where if the writer isn't 100% an elite pro player in the week or two they had to completely finish it and write their review, they're shitty at video games and no one should listen to them.

I... loath this dumb idea.. in video game culture. But I.. am catching myself.. cynically starting to subscribe to it for tech journalists.
