My Comments

CaptainStupid, as a professional sub, I can say that very rarely is there a case of 'this is the right way to do it', especially with magazines and websites.

Even at Future the decision on whether to use 'Videogame' or 'Video game' is purely down to the style guide, which in itself is down to the Editor's preference.

So while the sentence might have been a tad clunky, give the guy a break, I probably would have let it stand had I been subbing it, as it was clear what he meant by it and easy for the reader to understand, and it wasn't really a glaring grammatical error

That's the whole point of language you see, to communicate ideas and concepts in a way that people understand. Not to give pedantic internet men the excuse to post smug little 'I spotted an error so I win' comments...
