Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. "journalists" (all of them, not only video games) lost all credibility for a reason.
Mostly surprised by the trust put into "content creators".
Game journalist..... I immediately think of that guy that wasn't capable to play the fckng tutorial of cuphead.
