Forbes, for many years, has been mostly written by freelance bloggers. Some is very high quality (some is not) but it’s not like an editor in a newsroom is asking for these stories.
They have journalists on staff still but they write a minority of what Forbes publishes online.

Because the wealthy need to remind us how much free time they really have because they don’t actually fucking work or contribute anything to the world.

I can’t wrap my head around this comment. You think playing video games is a wealthy people hobby? Or are you saying the author of the article is a wealthy person who doesn’t work? Or that only wealthy people have time to read these articles? Did I miss elon musk promoting path of exile or something?
The real answer doesn’t make sense neither, the article makes no mention of how much money the game has made, it’s just a surface level review.

As for the real the answer: I’m assuming what they mean is, since gaming is such a popular medium (which can be seen from how much money the industry makes) it makes sense otherwise unrelated outlets would have articles about it.
