      The first thing I wanted to comment was “Was this written by Elon Musk’s ghostwritergamer?”


      Real answer: Because the games industry is bigger than the film industry, in terms of total valuation.

          As for the real the answer: I’m assuming what they mean is, since gaming is such a popular medium (which can be seen from how much money the industry makes) it makes sense otherwise unrelated outlets would have articles about it.

      Forbes, for many years, has been mostly written by freelance bloggers. Some is very high quality (some is not) but it’s not like an editor in a newsroom is asking for these stories.

      They have journalists on staff still but they write a minority of what Forbes publishes online.
