It’s the RPS curse. It was started back when games journalism was dominated by insipid corporate writeups and its humor was an effective contrast.
The sterile, personality-less writing the RPS founders fought against is mostly dead now and the original RPS staff have long since left, but their successors still try to ape their writing style with a fraction of the wit and talent.
