Is there any merit to it or is it just more gamer seething?

Games journalists used to be pretty shitty, like the joke about IGN “worst game ever, 10/10” but they’ve come a long way from what I’ve seen. They seem to be more critical about games and actually touch on relevant shit in society in their reviews now. But the brunt of the hatred journalists get from G*mers is due to gamergate.
