i have no fear of making the “yeah, but video games aren’t sports” argument, but since ESPN devotes air time to poker, competitive eating and scrabble...i’m gonna leave that particular bullet in the chamber.

If GamerGate were actually about ethics in journalism, they would not be actively trying to destroy Kotaku — a site that refuses press junkets, regularly pisses off game publishers through aggressive journalism, and is just about as transparent as any gaming site can be — they’d be going after Metacritic and exclusive…
