Loved this line:

Those who have been angry about all this – don’t investigate the people, investigate the system. Please write about games. Don’t go to any parties. Don’t go on the trips. Don’t care about exclusives. Just write passionately about games. You can contribute hugely to the scene without ever once speaking to a PR person. Cut them out of the equation.

I did as well. I ended up following him on Twitter and am glad I did.

P.S. That's a Mountain Dew and Dorito cupcake.
