In the years since the alleged death of beloved accessibility advocate Susan Banks, mounting evidence and accounts from those close to her work suggest that she was not the person she claimed to be. In fact, some are convinced that Banks may never have existed at all.

      Actual journalism. From IGN of all places. Which should be unfair given recent works from the likes of Rebekah Valentine, but we’ve just been trained for so long to not expect actual game journalism, especially from IGN.

        I read the whole article, and when I got to the end I realized I read it simply because it was actual investigative journalism. It’s gotten so rare.
