Into the Breach is the first game with those mechanics to really lock me in. Feels ***LESS** RNG dependent and more dependent on my skill than others I've played.
I would have loved to read a review or an editorial on Metal Gear Survive by Jeff, there's so much history behind the series and the publisher that screams "write-up" to me.
Podcasts and video are great, but accessing specific key moments in gaming history is much easier to do when something is written than if the conversation is part of a longer-to-consume piece of media. You can't skim/access an opinion on a video or podcast in the same way you can something that's written, and for archival purposes I think it's important that a lot of these moments get preserved in writing.
Also, written media has the benefit of being well thought out and editing before publishing. A lot of times (during something recorded without a script) someone does a lot preemptive crowd control because those thoughts haven't been given a place to sit and be worked on. You'll hear Jeff oftentimes say "Well, I don't know... I guess I can see the case where..."
That being said, I'm happy if they're happy. If they're cool with not doing those types of things anymore then I'm sure there are plenty of sources for that kind of stuff out there.
