    Yeah its pretty cool of him, I hope he can maintain it through the release of ARR. Fireside chats with your dev, video game companies/producers are business but it is quite preferred to think of them as friends and family then perhaps "soul suckers" like Activision is sometimes referred to.

    Edit: Updated my quote of Abrieal's updated post. nvm :P

    of course Square Enix isn't alone there. Electronic Arts is another good example. Many journos, even highly respected ones, have this warped idea that they're the vigilantes of the industry, and they need to "punish" the evil corporation of their choice with their almighty pen, instead of dedicating themselves to actual reporting.

    Of course there are a whole lot of fair, intelligent and relatively unbiased (relatively because absolute lack of bias doesn't exist in any form of journalism. Anyone that tells you he's unbiased lies, and he knows it) ones, but if you look attentively, you'll easily be able to spot the rotten apples.

    I dont bother reading much into things that I dont feel accurate for one reason or another :P like a games score being determined by first day DLC. Though I dont like the idea of 1st day DLC the score shouldn't be affected by it as its not a value of the company but of the game.

    Not to say I find 100% unbiased sources since I have bias myself but I suppose for clarity I could have added "A good video game review company(/person) wouldn't look to hunt down a company just because".
