A huge credibility hit for IGN and its commentators

“My Letter to the editor:
Episode 4 of IGN Overclocked featured a 15+ segment discussing a steam handheld product, steam machines and generally PC system requirements.
During this segment the hosts make dozens of inaccurate statements about PC Gaming including hard drive, memory and GPU requirements for games. They painted a deeply inaccurate picture of gaming today and made product comparisons across architectures(ARM vs X86) that are frankly laughable. Thats like comparing a SUV and a tank because the both transport things. They repeatedly made factually inaccurate statements such as claiming Civ 5 requires far more HD space than the product(Smach Zero) they were discussing has. In fact the product has 400% of the needed space.
It was clear that they were not educated about PC Gaming and hadn't done even the most basic of research. Five minutes on Steam would show even an uneducated person that most of what they were saying was inaccurate. This team comes across as having little to no knowledge about computer gaming.
For me, this was a huge credibility hit both for the commentators on the podcast and for the IGN brand. It makes me wonder how much of what is done at IGN is simply made up.
I’m reconsidered my 15+ year relationship with IGN after this and putting my IGN house party t-shirt in the closet.”

“But sometimes the audio quality is really bad. Like the most recent episode. It's really bad.
Otherwise it's entertaining”
