Cowardly actions are often a smart way to do things, but that doesn’t make them less cowardly. If you’re gonna fight someone, fight fair. Otherwise, you ain’t got shit to brag about, imo. It’s just a bad look.

You bring up some good points that are definitely worth discussing. The conversation over “leaks” in gaming journalism is an interesting one, and one we’ve discussed a LOT internally. (I sit next to Stephen, and he and I have conversations about this sort of thing ALL the time.)

That clearly falls in the domain of investigative journalism as an important service for the greater public good.…

Pissing people off isn’t doing good journalism. Informing people is doing good journalism. Going for information and appealing to smart discussions instead of clickbait is good journalism.
