It is undoubtedly the case that the comment about how long it takes to make games is inaccurate and doesn't account for how the industry actually works. That can't be denied.

However, I know from my conversations that the BBC is trying really hard to improve its games coverage. Lots of positive signs out there and lots of good work being done behind the scenes.

While it is right to call out inaccuracies - as I have had to do so in my line of work - I'd ask for people to consider doing so in a compassionate way.

As the news at large finally begins to get to grips with games, being constructive will ultimately help us tell our story more effectively in the long run.

The fact that the BBC felt that a games executive leaving a company was worthy of an immediate news piece on the front page of the site shows how far we've come. Let's encourage that trend, rather than inadvertently damaging it through a short term dunk

Final thought: I've always been impressed by the effort, professionalism and reasonableness of every journo I've interacted with at the Beeb, even when running critical stories. Better to help educate and tell our side of the story, rather than snipe 'they don't get games' etc

Final final thought: if you are covering games and need help - or want someone to help out a journalist you know - you can always email me at george@ukie.org.uk or call the Ukie office number to chat.

So, having been kinda the catalyst with this. It immediately stood out to me. Like, IMMEDIATELY. It’s not even off base, it’s so wrong. It got pointed out and got changed. Maybe if the response hadn’t been such, it might not have been changed.

Also, praising R* for taking their time when actually their practices to make said games are questionably bad - hmm. It was all kinds of off base. But, yeah constructive feedback is good... this instance was just urgh.

Really good thread George. I'd love for the BBC to make or publish games so they can understand them more. Though with tightening budgets, it's very unlikely to happen.
