This article makes me despise Malstrom even more.
Yes they have good jobs, they are still jobs though. He says that if both sides didn't like the events they wouldn't happen. Thats ridiculous - the publishers need the events to protect their software and the reviewers need the events because it's their freaking job.
Malstroms rant about how if you're not getting shot at you're not working is just plain stupid.
I think he's just got a bad case of the sour grapes.
The conflict of interest thing is the only part that makes sense and he barely touched on it. Usually the more blatant stuff gets laughed at by the journalists themselves (Lair review guide and Halo helmet spring to mind) but I do think the reviewing company should pay for the expenses - not the reviewed publisher.
