Yes, it's a real mystery why they would want to bring further intention to important reporting that not only highlights an issue in their community, but they may also help bring attention to similar issues in other communities.

It's a real mystery all right.

And you're so right. Obviously their editor would be fuming at their effort to bring attention to their reporting, and to the publication as a result, if they ever found out about this. The last thing a paper needs is for people to know about the investigative reporting they do.

It's a shame you don't work in the industry. It's obvious you'd be one of the all-time greats if given a chance.

Fun fact: The past you seem to pine for never existed. Journalism has always pursued important causes. Always. Since the very dawn of what we now consider journalism, "This is an important topic and we should look into it" has always, always been an aspect of the broad umbrella that is journalism. It has always done this. It always will.

Literally every news story ever investigated, written and published came to be because someone thought it was an important or interesting story to do.

All of them, throughout all of human history.

That's how it works, and there is no other way it CAN work.

If you have such a tenuous grasp on what journalism is and how it works, perhaps you should leave the topic for people who do.

As you might expect, launching a curated subscription service for indie games that algorithmically generates recommendations has Palma and Peterson pitching Jump as "Netflix for indie games."

"Think of it like Netflix. You go in there now and you get these very specific categories, like indie horror movies with strong female leads," says Palma.

You came out of the box marketing yourself as the Netflix of games. Other followups to this story, like this one, once again quote you when they use the phrase.

You didn't avoid using it at all. YOU coined it.
