games.on.net - Sudden (AU) price rises for games just make everybody mad – so why do publishers keep doing it?
Australians feel attacked because, without any attempt to hide it, a company slaps them with an artificial surcharge that has absolutely no basis in reality, for a digital product that doesn’t actually exist. They’ve seen behind the curtain, and there’s no magic: just a giant middle finger.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Some Subjective Thoughts On Objectivity.
There are an awful lot of gaming sites, and there are an awful lot of them reporting gaming news, as presented to them by PRs, publishers and developers. Because let’s be clear: the vast majority of what is presented as “news” in the world of gaming is, “This game has been announced,” or, “Here is a new trailer for this game.” Simply reporting this news may be desired by some, and there are an awful lot of places people can visit for such straight delivery of a publishers’ facts. Which is why we think RPS offers far, far more to our readers by doing something different: To report the announcement of a game, or the arrival of a new trailer, and then to give our subjective opinion of that news. Be it, “Oh boy, we’re so excited that this game exists, because the previous ones have been tippety-top!” or, “Wow, this game looks gross,” our opinion infects our coverage because it’s written by us, on our website. We know, absolutely, that our opinion can be rejected by those reading the news, and indeed we most frequently offer space below the post for people to voice their disagreement. “No, the previous games were terrible, and this one’s going to be worse!” “How can you say it looks gross, you sillies – it looks flipping amazing.”
