Editorial: Pleasing People Isn’t A GTN Gaming Tech News Thing

Hi! I’m Craig and I’m the owner GTN Gaming Tech News. I just want to be clear and frank about what this website is for and what it offers you. GTN strives to be an honest publication that only posts about relevant and important things about the tech or video game industry. Being an avid reader of more than 20 different video game and tech websites everyday. I’ve noticed a serve lack of quality within these sties like Gamespot, IGN, Kotaku and Polygon.

These sites seem to make sensational articles with misleading titles and their content is very thin across the board. Sites like these offer no value beyond the title for news and I strongly believe they are bought out besides Kotaku which is just click bait filth with no meaning behind any article at all and that’s just fact jack! Don’t believe me? Well lets take look at Kotaku’s awful recent feed below. 

This is GTN’s Feed:

However not all gaming websites are bad and have earned my respect like GamesIndustry.biz, Game Informer, PC Gamer, GameTrailers.com, ScrewAttack, Engadget and even EuroGamer.net. Please notice how I linked to these sites and not the totally awful ones I mentioned up above. These sites mentioned bring you interesting articles and offer blunt and honest material inside the industry. 

For instance every time I go to GameTrailers and see a review of a game that I have already beat and played I find myself finding nothing but the truth in a balanced way that is highly creditable. Though GameTrailers is definitely more kind than I am to video games. As for Review scores they have little or no meaning to me. I’m there for information and not some number that means nothing to me. For instance if you know The Wolf Among Us watch the video up above and see if you can totally agree with everything said and if you never played The Wolf Among Us you need to get playing it. Because you’re really missing out friend.

Anyway the point of this article is that GTN plans to be an honest publication that purely runs off of personality while getting the news that gamers would like in a condensed from. I’m Craig of GTN. GTN Gaming Tech News is the website and brand. I am the person and other people will post here in time. We are not cut and dry. We are not here to pander to fan boys. We are here to share news with like minded gamers and spread truth to gamers as well. No companies are going to buy out this site and force me to say “Assassins Creed Unity is a flawless gem that runs super smooth.” For one I have standards and for two I don’t have it in me to lie on purpose. I’m not a sell out and if you’re looking for a sell out website I’d strongly suggest IGN. – Craig Of GTN
