Not to rain on your parade, but this is just the state of modern gaming journalism. There are thousands of these fluff articles that get written talking about a popular reddit post in gaming subreddits.

The outlets pay writers very little, so alot of writers churn out dozens of these low paying articles instead of devoting more time to longer, higher paying ones.

The outlets themselves don’t care because the only goal is to get people to click onto the site so that they get the ad revenue.
