Why does one of the editors of the new anthology Critical Hits from Graywolf Press seem to think that there is no home for writing about video games from the personal, emotional perspective?
It's funny that Aftermath is writing about bad game journalism practices when they themselves have an initial "you must register to read our articles," but then after registration, hit you with an actual hard paywall after a couple of articles.
If they want to paywall their content, that is their prerogative, but they could at least be up-front about it, instead of only telling me about it after I went through the trouble of creating an account.
I quite enjoy this site. On my journey to replace a lot of my content consumption with RSS feeds, Aftermath found a home in my RSS reader. We are human and humans can be hypocrites but there’s no need to dismiss an entire publication because of a single author's hypocritical stance.
Honestly, I hadn't realized there was a paywall on the article after having signed up a couple weeks ago.
I'll actually avoid posting their articles here then. Thanks for the callout.
Edit: Though I'm still interested in hearing about where they are hypocritical. People keep saying Aftermath writers say paywalls are bad, but I haven't seen that anywhere that I've noticed.
