Are these "press junkets" necessary for good games journalism? Can't you get 90% of the same information online through skype and pre-release keys to get your coverage? It seems as though the intent behind them is purely to give the journos a good environment which will hopefully influence their opinions which is a substantial downside. If not much is gained from it happening you'd argue that it's better for it to not happen.

Thanks for the response. This should definitely be high up on our list of things to call out where we can. Call on journos to blacklist the events if they're ethical and devs to not make them to begin with. Then widely publicise those that partake in such things, about the only power we'd have in relation to it.
