You didnt miss the point londonner, the guy who wrote the article, (I forget and cant be bothered to find it again, could have been the guy i mentioned above), basically spent an entire page saying how he hates everything about it.
He hates the the flights, the junk they keep giving him, the press lunches/dinners before meetings, the constant stream of games and other stuff.
He wasnt complaining so much about the business, rather he was complaining that E3 had become too much, to much of everything. Too many people, too many games, too many gamers somehow getting in. He insulted several people because he regarded them as below him, and said they shouldnt have been allowed in.
My gripe with the piece of trash article he wrote is this:
I dont pay for the magazine to listen to some arrogant little journo whine about how tired he is of non journos getting in. Or how painful his feet are having to walk around cecking games and writing notes. Or how if he gets one more press pack he'll throw up. Or how is sick of Sony paying for his godamned lunch.
If he needs to get that bile of chest, he should go see a bloody shrink, not moan to me and the other readers about it. It added nothing to the E3 issue. If anything, it ruined the rest of the magazine for me.
It was nothing more than him complaining and getting paid for it. He didnt even do it with tact, he just said
Even if it soul destroying londonner, I dont expect to pay for the mag then bored with that kind of lazy writing. Id rather he invent a more interesting article. The magazine is a product, and I expect satisfaction with a product that I buy. Full Stop.
(sorry if that sounds like I was being agressive to you londonner, I didnt intend for my paragraph to sound like that, it was aimed at the article)

). it's good to know what someone behind straight articles sometimes think - hence why there's such a fuss at the moment about whether BBC news journalists, like freelance or commercial news journalists, should be allowed to write opinion pieces. On the whole, I think he was making fair points about how the industry could self destruct, and how E3 will implode (it has been for a few years). Sometimes industries need to re-align, focus and trim the crap.
@ p94, tbh.
!! WTF
