The gaming industry is growing up, but the way it (very often) conducts itself is not.

Let's talk about developer and journalist sniping, the role of influencers and awards shows, and why the kind of behavior we so regularly see is holding back one of the best forms of entertainment there is.

When you want to stop being treated like a child, you need to stop acting like a child...in Virtual Legality.
