This is games journalism, so expect the "sources" to be EA press releases and a conference call with Marketing.

As an ex-journo, ouch.

But yeah, investigative journalism is dead. A press release is a valid source but it is the journalists duty to sift through the BS and corpospeak and convey what it actually means.

There's too many sites that just paste a press release on a blog page and call it an article, but let me stop there before I digress even more!
