Nina KielGames journalism has to undergo major changes, for sure, but what it does NOT need is the return of all-male, all-white editorial teams.
I'm sure these are capable people, but with a lack of diversity inevitably comes a lacking variety of perspectives on games.

CM30Not gonna lie, it kinda irritates me how much talk there is about indie games journalism now that ex corporate types are running stuff like Aftermath, while existing indie journalists like myself kinda get ignored.
There has always been great work done by independents in this field, they’re just the bloggers and YouTubers the community completely ignores.
