MOP just reports on the newsletters for the games they cover. yeah often they editorialize in absurd ways but the real fun is in the comments.
like the two people white washing mark's participation in the MOP comments. dude frequently got in pissing matches with people on there even on articles for other games. it's just those people in that thread liked what they saw him doing even if it was blatantly abusive and often joined in. the good guy mark jacobs thing is because the people who think of him as a good guy like how he abuses people and like to join in with that abuse and see that abuse as a good thing. they like the internet tough guy threats and intimidation because he's a video game developer celebrity they identify with.
and no matter how laughable the premise of mark jacobs' internet persona being "good guy" or wholesome or w/e is, these people will take any opportunity to bring it up because it helps them affirm to themselves that they're on "the right team" and have always been on the right team.
but MOP commenters often care more about the appearance of being right in their own minds rather than truth or reality even that which they've observed with their own eyes.
hell just that a video game dev celeb was posting with them in the same space makes him super duper cool guy, despite his antics in that space being absolutely fucking unhinged at best.
also i always wonder how much time gets spent trying to get these angles where the in game maps look half decent. from normal gameplay angles everything looks so much worse.

In all fairness to MoP every CU story comes with a huge disclaimer....(can't be shared here for some reason, too many links?)
Besides the tone of their reporting was sarcastic in nature, subtle but definitely present.

You could make more interesting content walking through Salisbury Plains in daoc.
I’m not even exaggerating.

"MMORPG veterans will know that Camelot Unchained, which was originally Kickstarted in 2013, has taken flak over the years thanks to delays, the founding of a second studio, the announcement of a second game using CU’s custom-built engine, and delayed refunds. The game entered its “beta one” phase back in 2018, with tests capable of putting 3000 humans and bots on the battlefield simultaneously. As of 2021, the studio says it is still paying refunds and is still working on both games, though it did not follow through on interviews with press."

Naw man, thats not the sarcasm. If they wanted to be sarcastic and at least a bit more pro-consumer instead of being full pro-CSE, they wouldve at least added something about people waiting for many years (some are waiting since 2018 as you can see from screenshots) for refunds with 0 replies from CSE to any status update requests. Or about the fact that the garbage Unchained engine was never actually tested with 500 people (despite promises that it will support such many) and most of ingame characters were simple bots during large tests and that the current tests can only gather less than a dozen of live players. Or the fact that their second studio created Ragnarok which had received 0 status updates on the Steam page since its introduction to Early Access and has 0 active players according to Steam charts. But they dont add these things to their "disclaimers".
Massively still trying to suck MJs toes which is very obvious with every post they make, even if he refused interview. Of course, I wouldnt expect anything different since as someone said long time ago - MJ was one of the sponsors of that garbage blog.

Why do you even bother giving that garbage site any clicks and Ad impressions... They just copypaste official announcements, like Mark claiming "we still paying refunds". They dont care to actually investigate real situation and show that in reality people who applied for refunds in 2018 still havent received anything from CSE:

Ten years, and we are still getting concept art - the level of fubar here is mindbogling (ya’ll dont understand; we had to build an engine from scratch. Right, well how did that work out for you?). Reading the comment section on MOP is one of my favourite past time activities - I have several times caught my self with a grin on the face reading through the comments, praising the fact that there atleast still is one (somewhat neutral media) place left on the internet where you can publicly debate this shit show with out censur.
It is beyond me, how a company in 2022 still thinks that the solution to a growing dissatisfied fanbase is; “well, if these cun.. arent happy with what we give them, we will just shut them up - no more comment section for you bit…, bye”.
The ignorance is real!
