    I’d rather just pay a subscriptiom fee (aka paywall) than buy some branded crap that i dont need…

    Like, whatever a creators markup is on a tshirt, i’d rather just give them that money in susbscription fee.

    Why would i buy a $55 tshirt and have have the creator take home $5? I’d rather just give them the $5

        Exactly. Cant apply for a mortgage if you have an unstable income. Cant plan for having a family without stable income

        All the things we take for granted, we just expect journalists not to have because we are all entitled to their work for free

          I’m honestly fine paying a subscription if the content is good, but I highly doubt enough other people are to sustain a business. Plenty of people seem to be willing to buy merch or watch ads, so that’s probably where a games journalist should be looking.
