Consumerism, Criticism, And The Bernays Effect On The Board Game Industry
There has been a great deal of hand-wringing about the lack of what people are calling “true criticism” in the board game industry, of late.

Let’s get that joke out of the way… yawn!) to extract confessions. And it is rather brutal, as brutal as the methods the Inquisition used in the name of God.
