When you are desperate for attention, any attention feels like good attention. In my last post about Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Z:TotK for short), a very popular game, I suggested that people would be interested in thoughtful criticism of slightly older games, once the dust has settled and people had the chance to calmly reflect about them. It was my least-read post in a while, so yeah, I was wrong about that.

So… for a moment, let’s put aside the fact that the purpose of a publicly traded company like most AAA game publishers (Nintendo, Ubisoft, Take Two, EA, Activision, Sony, Microsoft, etc.) is to earn money for its shareholders.
