Worst Journalist Ever Defends Woke Dragon Age Veilguard, Trashes Fans!

It’s no surprise that Zarmena Khan is back, with yet another article pushing her woke agenda, this time defending Dragon Age: The Veilguard against “trolls” and critics who dare to question BioWare’s decisions. In her latest piece on PlayStation LifeStyle, Khan doesn’t just defend the game; she dismisses any criticism of its “progressive” elements, as though any pushback on these ideologies is an attack on gaming itself. To her, anyone not on board with Veilguard’s direction must be a right-wing “grifter,” totally invalidating genuine concerns from the gaming community.

Khan’s style, unfortunately, has become predictable: a mix of finger-wagging at gamers and blind praise for corporate studios, no matter how dubious their decisions. What’s worse, she’s hardly alone—her peers, like Alyssa Mercante, have made a name for themselves in gaming journalism by dismissing gamer feedback and promoting any game aligned with their ideological perspectives, regardless of the game's actual reception. They seem more invested in defending an agenda than in upholding any integrity in reporting.

Her latest defense of Veilguard is peppered with mentions of the game’s “strong sales” and “high scores” as if those metrics magically invalidate criticism. But let’s face it: a high Metacritic score is no guarantee of a game’s success. It remains to be seen whether Veilguard will even turn a profit, given the game’s low player count compared to other recent releases. And those “strong sales” figures? They’re hardly the grand success BioWare’s defenders would have us believe.

Khan’s reliance on high scores to shield Veilguard from critique shows her commitment to a one-sided narrative. True gamers know that a high score shouldn’t automatically deflect criticism, especially when it comes to a franchise with a dedicated fanbase that deserves to be heard. But in the world of Khan and her colleagues, there’s no room for dissent—just agenda-driven “journalism” that shuts down anyone who sees things differently.
