    I too would hide my face with such a shameful thumbnail.

      Don’t hate the player, hate the game. There’s a ton of evidence out there that whether you like it or not these kinds of thumbnails are effective at driving views.

        Steve does complain a lot lately but I am trying not to blame the messenger for the bad news. The whole PC and gaming industry is in a bad place right now.

          I don’t watch even half of what they put out but I’d say he’s the best tech journalist in the biz right now (for this niche). You say complaining, I say reporting. I love hearing him call out the absurdity of these corpos.

            Eh… I like Steve for the most part, but he does complain a lot on top of his reporting.
