What you are insinuating is outright false. We do not accept payment for our reporting. The closest thing is sponsored posts, but these are clearly marked as "Sponsored Post", with a completely different accent color to regular articles (ie. it's 100% obvious what they are) and done once or twice per month. They're also handled by completely different people than editorial (ie. not us people who write regular articles). The reality is that VR outlets are absolutely tiny teams covering an incredibly rapidly moving industry. The ratio of news to writers is enormous. I can assure you, it pains us to not be able to cover everything interesting happening in VR. We truly wish we could! Summer is also a bad time, as people tend to be off. We had multiple weeks with only 1 writer on staff. As for your specific story, I don't see it in my inbox or our tips inbox, based on a cursory search. Can you let me know where you sent it to? It does sound like something we would want to cover!
