# gamespot's pc port reality check video
> oh man.. the aaa pc games industry bs piles up so fast you need bat wings to stay above it

to consider gamespot's so-called reality check episode "the problem with pc ports" yet another perfect example of everything wrong. that is not everything wrong with the games industry(tm) but generally everything wrong with this particular version of reality
> this sounds more like a propaganda film (..) pretty much everything you speak about is an outright lie an oversimplification or an over exaggeration. as many have listed bellow do some fact checking before you sound like an exec from ea justifying why your game sucks

the sheer amount of pathetic aaa ex-cathedra industry excuses - feeble justifications and downright falsehoods - in gamespot's video seems as (deadpan ironically) incredible as the concept (say) of "integrity in modern hyper-capitalist games journalism"
what reality check means here: just another firm bland reminder of "how things work around here son" - that is: just fine thanks (if you're on the winning side)
perhaps "the problem with pc ports" is that they exist; modularity choice and truly open development platforms are only problematic for developers who treat games like hamburgers
and if that almost totally blind largely soulless industry wants to deliberately spend untold gazillions of megadollars on building / hyping up exact 1-to-1 replicas of eg. the notre dame cathedral yet bitch and moan about ever rising development costs in the same stinky breath they can take a leap off the nearest flying buttress
note: in the impossibly distant near future now: using the phrase "lost to piracy" in anything than a solely positive manner will immediately result in being (socially) sealed in a giant rotating iron ball with spikes on the inside and unceremoniously yeeted into the nearest primordial black hole
"games jurnalist" lucy james can roleplay the part of doing the common good for gamers bit roll ir eyes all they wants and make pained sorry but these are the factoids people faces as though talking to a small confused dog or class of underpaid gamedev hirelings straight out of college
note: gamespot is a a subsidiary of cbs corporation whose revenue in 2018 was 14.514 billion
a truth: "pc gamers & modders fix your broken games"
