Such organizations often have stringent policies in order to reduce conflicts of interest and ensure and maintain credibility with their respective audiences." Anyone think this is actually true for the mostly-amateur gaming press? |
Nope. We don't but a lot of the other smaller press sites, and probably larger ones too, will do anything to get hits so they will market a game and receive gifts for giving good word for games even if the game is horrible. In turn the marketing will increase hits and gain them a fanbase plus gain a small cash flow. I've seen many small press sites come and go because of this.
Off-Topic: Nice avatar Keith!! Kind of goes with mine in a way.
