       In case anyone still, somehow, hasn't seen it, enjoy the zenith of honest game journalism (that got the reviewer blacklisted by EA)

       @georgia Executives calling the magazine and crying until you get fired, then circulating a memo to all the sleazy outlets they're in bed with threatening to cut ties if they hire you.You know, the way blacklisting works in any supposedly free market scenario!(Though I believe in this instance they only succeeded in getting his employer to ban him from reviewing other EA products)

       @brother @georgia you can also be kinda greylisted in which you will never be sent anything to try out but you're not barred from buying and reviewing in your own right

       @Mikoto @georgia Unsurprising given what scum they seem to be!It's so fucking childish. "Waah I'm important man, look good, good clothes, high score, I upset so YOU fix NOW"No wonder our development as a society is so fucked up. We inhabit that episode of The Twilight Zone with the superpowered, capricious, amoral child, except the superpower is just money and it's immune from criticism for some reason.

       @Ox @georgia Yeah this seems like standard practice for dealing with honest critics. Iirc no movie studios will even acknowledge redlettermedia's EXISTENCE even though everyone in the industry knows that Mike's video reviews were instrumental in Disney's corporate strategy for rebooting Star Wars - even if they missed all his points and only remembered "Hire J.J. Abrams and get rid of the diplomacy scenes"

       @Mikoto @brother @georgia > anti-benchmarking clauses are now often known as "DeWitt Clauses", and they've spread from databases to all software, from compilers to cloud offeringsNow I know why you can't find a lot of comparison of database performance online. While you can take any benchmark software and integrate to the database easily, you can't publish it.Thanks oracle, I hope they die with java

       @Mikoto I wouldn't dream of it, if anything it just makes me eager to hear some of your life story
