Agreed, and this goes waaaaaay beyond just mere online review journalism too. Even textbooks for game engines are now cluttered to the brim with self-important lessons on "objective morality" and even "serving social justice" (e.g. Gibbon's Intro to Game Design for Unity). It's just amazing how, despite all the improvement in the medium, game-writing has actually become worse than it was in the days of just forum posters writing guides, faqs, and reviews on GameFAQs.

Yet there are still brilliant writers out there.

Although I am unsure of where all of this narrative comes from, it's so good it nearly brought a tear to my eye:

I highly recommend watching all his feature videos.
