    Sure, donations should absolutely be a thing, but I highly doubt donations are reliable enough to build a business on.

      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.
