Anyone wondering if the gaming press has cleaned itself up need only look at the blanket coverage for GTA V and how it makes no mention of it being one of the sloppiest launches in PC games history. When a community has to collectively come together and come up with half a dozen workarounds just to get the game installed, then probably another dozen just to get the game working, there's something very wrong. Yet you'd think it never happened at all if it wasn't for forum threads and steam reviews. Considering how dreadful the GTA IV launch was, the fact that Rockstar delayed this launch on three occasions and took a bunch of pre-order money from people who still can't play the game and have yet to publicly address how badly they fucked up, you would think at least one major publication would have mentioned it. Instead a bunch of articles on how good it looks on 1080 or how to optimise your experience or occulus rift will be awesome...
