For the most part, they don’t. There are two things that happen:

This article reminds me of the oldschool paid promotion articles of yesteryear. Before they had to disclose the money.

Sometimes, I want the gritty fantasy storytelling of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt without dealing with hundreds of hours of content or an open world map.

This continues a trend in covering games that might be interesting but do not include what platforms or when the game might be available. So like what platform?? Is it out? when’s it out?

“The corporation already has the power to censor the thing I love, and asking them to censor the thing I hate won’t change how much power they have.”

No one’s human rights were violated as a result of this special.

They weren’t in the greys when I replied to them, and unless someone’s an active and well-known troll I prefer to reply to people on the merits of what they say rather than digging through their history.

Well, I actually watched the special. Here’s its list of sins, in my book:
