Okay, so as a consumer I have long sought out what the community rather than the critics say about certain forms of entertainment. Movies have sites like Rotten Tomatoes. Books have sites like Goodreads (though I prefer "booktube.") Games have YouTube.
But what it is it about gaming in particular that harbours such a distaste for the official critics that other mediums lack (though they have their own issues.) I know there's allegations galore of corruption and dirty money.
But why? What makes the games industry so seemingly different to other forms of entertainment? Simply the money?
And what reviewers do you trust or watch? If you do.
