      There's some chatter today about younger game critics who haven't played a lot of the games (or even the consoles) that those of us who are...a bit older...have played. That's great! Every field needs new blood, and I hope future generations of game writers shake things up! (1/4)

      I hope they find their own way & don't feel beholden to doing games crit the way it's always been done. I hope the future of games crit is marked by a much wider range of perspectives that shatter the still-lingering, still-strong notions of "objectivity."https://medium.com/@carolynpetit/ruthless-individuality-criticisms-past-and-hopefully-its-future-d1ffbf3bb2c8 …

      The one word of caution I have for writers new to the field is rooted in something that's all too common in writing about film by younger people: the tendency to treat a perspective about an older film as a fresh take that nobody might have expressed before, when it's usually not

          Just don't treat the history of games crit as basically nonexistent prior to your arrival. Do a bit of reading and research before you publish your take on Super Mario Bros. or DOOM to see if there isn't already a history of discussion you can draw on around that same perspective

          That’s what really kept me from getting into games journalism/commentary when I was going to College. The discourse was dominated by white guys my age with similar perspectives I knew it would be hard to stand out. I love hearing todays unique perspectives.
