What are the most egregious examples of unethical gaming journalism over the past five or so years? (Besides the obvious) There were plenty of reasons to be pissed off about games "Journalism" pre-GG, and I could never understand why more people weren't pissed off.  Here are the examples I pulled from memory: 1) Multiple journalists repeatedly calling for more dlc in games when they get their games for free.  2) No journalists calling Bethesda out for the outright broken versions of Fallout 3, FONV and Skyrim on the PS3. Followed by IGN's "outrage" article a month later talking about how bad the PS3 version is - only after they'd given the original PS3 game a 9.5 score and made no mention of how broken the PS3 version was.
