The discussion about pay in video games journalism appears to be bubbling back up again.

So here's me attempting to give some thoughts on a) why pay is so low and b) some thoughts on how to change the situation. The base level analysis of it is that writing/creating content about video games is a passion project. Therefore, it's easier to pay less (or not at all) because there are loads of people out there willing to do it.
