You can disagree with Colin's poltiical views, but calling him a hack regarding with PlayStation knowledge is utter nonsense. He's probably more knowledgeable about the PlayStation brand, it's history, it's developers, etc than anyone else in the gaming journalist industry.
By the end, Colin was losing motivation, not gaming as much, etc. I'm not going to dispute that. But he knew PlayStation, and to suggest otherwise is completely unfair (but fits the usual anti Colin hate).
