Eurogamer Blacklisted By 2K?

A tweet by Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell follows on the controversy over blacklist threats over Duke Nukem Forever reviews that lead to 2K firing PR firm the Redner Group by saying Eurogamer has actually been blacklisted by 2K: "I feel sorry for @TheRednerGroup today. We are blacklisted by @2KGames and it seems to be standard practice." Thanks VG247.

Gaming journalism? Gaming shilling you all mean.

Any real journalists would take a look at all the so-called "game journalists" and die laughing. There are some few notable exceptions but in truth most game journalists don't even have the minimum requirements to be called errand boys in a real newspaper or any other place that employs journalists.

As a "games journalist" myself (back when the term was even more meaningless), I would agree with you for the most part. However, I'd also say that journalism as a whole has long been discredited, regardless of the genre. The entire news trade is little more than a form of copy-writing, BBC included. As you say, there are exceptions. I'd say that J. Walker of RPS is a hero that deserves recognition.
