Breaking the code of ethics

1) The journalise can become too cozy with the industry they cover because it is natural and human for us to form relationships with one another, especially when some are invariably fans of much of the work done in the industry that they cover.

2) The dependence on advertising makes game publications too vulnerable to the demands of publishers, and that there is very little that can be done about this even if it only influences some reviews some of the time.

3) A need for access to publishers, developers, and titles makes journalists set the view away rather than upset the powers that be far too often, and especially with AAA titles – the kind you often see plastered to the background of a site as you read the review of that very game.
