But you could argue that the rot was already starting 20 years ago when magazines under the Ziff-Davis media company started to hire college grad journalism majors to write their magazines, and not actual gamers. In the early days of EGM (and many other gaming magazines) you had to pass a gaming aptitude test. Writing was second to that. You had to show that you were a gamer, and knew what you were talking about.


Do you have a source handy about the gaming aptitude thing? Not that I'm calling bullshit, just curious about it and what it entailed. It seems like the ideal solution to keep people like modern game reviewers far away from a business they have no right being in.
