$#*!ty woke anti-white anti-male anti-straight propaganda. Has been going on for a while but the latest review on the Hogwarts game is just appalling. So much ideology it's insane that these people think they're doing good.
When they don't allow comments, you know it's trash, or has an agenda.
Those who make it hard to comment or remove that while plastering offensive articles are not 'real people'. Such a website is just a troll website that likely generates no revenue, made by some rich troll, that probably has bad genetics and health to plaster such nonsense around.
I was just drawn to it by an offensive article once again trying to 'give credit' for Atomic bombs to Africans/Africa as if they were integral to that somehow. Usual leftist nonsense trying to incorporate racism and also nowadays make it seem like 'black people did things they never actually did', which is just for low IQs in my opinion.
Just thought I'd add my 1 star review in.
Wired.com has forgotten about journalist integrity and instead decided to let unstable people vent their personal feelings inside of, what should be unbiased and professional product reviews. If that's allowed then I should also be allowed to review Wired.com based on how their Hogwarts Legacy review "made me feel".
So I rate them 0/10 for making me feel betrayed and outraged by their lack of professionalism and not being able to objectively do their jobs.
Trust is earned not given. Same with respect.
The Wired brand has quite obviously gone from a decent publication about technology to become a purely negative corporate mouthpiece. I don't give them any more money or clicks and never will again. Just a shameful pathetic excuse of fake journalism. The Onion has more truth than the junk on Wired.
Unfortunately there have been incidents of product reviews that are entirely based on subjective opinions about people affiliated with the product rather than objective reviews about the product itself. This renders it useless and does little to build trust in any other articles.
In articles that have nothing to do with U.S. politics, writers go out of the way to insert their political opinions as facts. Hard to then trust real facts if political commentary is dressed up as issues that are not up for debate. Used to love the magazine, but sadly I think the editorial board believes it has some political indoctrination mission.
Their review of Hogwarts legacy is shamefully biased and unfair to both the developers who put in quite the effort in making an amazing game filled with magic, and unfair to the consumers who use review sites to be informed about their decisions im a trustworthy manner. There is no reason for all people to love (or hate) the same thing in the same way, but when it's an intentional act and shows failed integrity (just like review bombing is not allowed on steam and other sites) the editors should not have allowed the review to go up, and should have informed the writer to simply allow another person to review the game instead.
This has got to be one of the most dishonest websites on the Internet. They have zero integrity. Their employees and writers are bullies and terrible people. Their articles lack credibility and proof. It should be a crime to be this disingenuous.
Thier reviews are out of touch and they just like bring games down instead of judging the games on merit alone they instead judge games on the iP owners instead of how the game actually performs so sad how far they have fallen
Most reviews aren't objective, they're unprofessional mudslinging at irrelevant elements of the media and/or product. The latest review for a popular video game was obvious virtue-signalling bait, and WIRED should be removed as a Metacritic reviewer.
This used to be a very good magazine focused on technology. Over the years, it has increasingly become a conduit for leftist, anti-white, anti-male, anti-heterosexual, anti-capitalist, anti-Republican propaganda, seemingly written by ignorant, bigoted children. Occasionally, a good article slips past the Woke editors, but that doesn't happen frequently enough to justify a subscription.
Once my go-to magazine for technology, reduced to a political and social justice rag. I really don't want to be inundated with politics with every turn. It's sad that there are really not any really good magazines that talk about just technology with no slant.
I love WIRED. Perhaps because it gives me a balanced view and access to so much information that isn't common knowledge to average individuals. Perhaps the high tech world doesn't appreciate it.
In my world of health care the information covered here is not our focus. We are busy saving lives and supporting individuals during stressful periods in their lives. Full disclosure: I am a Nurse Clinician and semi-retired. Our salaries are pocket change for those in tech and business.
I deeply appreciate Wired with their articulate; insightful articles. They appear ethical actually cover great a variety of subject matter.
I really don't understand their low value rating. It is the reason, I was motivated to write. MARTY
PS couldn't covert Wired purchase to jpeg
Wired.com has many great articles and thought provoking insights, but when it comes to customer service, all of these great perks totally disappear in ashes. 3 times I contacted their customer service team.the agents keep changing every time, and you have to explain your issue again; none of them just give a damn and want to close your query before it's even resolved. For a company who writes about latest trends in the world of digital and how important it is to put a customer in the centre of the business universe, their own strategy seem to lack that one.
Not an objective outlet. Reviews are not based on facts but subjective opinions of the writer. Very much useless when it comes to getting information on a product.
Although beautifully presented, the US edition of Wired imported into the UK is an absolute joke, given the price, how much advertising do you need? The current edition was light enough on articles as it was, 50% of the mag was advert after advert. At this price point I don't want ads, if you're targeting this as a premium product, then fill it with something worth paying for. I normally get the UK version, no idea what happened to it this month.
The international subscription process appears deliberately designed to mislead potential subscribers. A price $10 is offered, you select your country and a method of payment, in my case PayPal. The PayPal window is hidden which I have never seen before with a message to reopen it which brings you to a successful subscription message where the price has quadrupled. The appears to be a deliberate delay in the change of price being displayed once a country is selected until after you have committed. This is very poor and unscrupulous behaviour and does nor reflect well on the publication. It is also very very difficult to contact them internationally to fix this. I am really unimpressed, I've never seen this price change slow down before and can only conclude it is deliberate.
Wired has the poorest customer service I have ever encountered. The call service worker was rude and dismissive when I tried to figure out why I had a full subscription charge after dropping service over a year ago. The worker was extremely dismissive, having sarcastic undertones when I just wanted to clarify information. The worker had the demeanor of a spoiled child who doesn't want to do the job they're hired to do. All in all, don't subscribe because from start to end, Wired is not worth any of your time.
This is not a critique of Wired Magazine but you may be able to address this.
I just saw the tv program "Print the Legend" about 3D printers. Amazingly, through the entire program about 3D printers, there is not a single description of exactly how a 3D printer work!. I'm sure other viewers must have been as puzzled as I was.
I attempted a free trial offer of this magazine and realized it wasn't for me. No offense to the subject matter, just not my style. I then proceeded to cancel the subscription as to not be charged, only to have this magazine constantly attempting to debit my card 29.99. This has been going on for 3 months now! I emailed a few different addresses I found to tell them the situation. One came back as a false email! The others won't even respond! Awful customer service! I had to cancel that card so I wouldn't be charged anymore! Good luck to anyone attempting the free trial! My advice is, DON'T!
Answer: Seems like a scam. They won't cancel your free trial and they constantly try to pull money from you.
