The call of gamergate has been for objectivity in coverage and reviews which is absolutely backwards. A subjective review is much more helpful because it is honest about the inherent preferences, balances and impressions. I would like to see a game review that is properly objective while being readable and informative.

The call for objectivity is mostly based in the fact that these subjective reviews have opinions that the audience don't agree with. This is only sometimes 'S.J.W.' issues, just as often it's been that someone has given a review score that does not match the status quo.

Also, it's not actually really games journalism, but enthusiast press.
