I'm baffled that so many tie ins were done... and the only thing people can think to do is bash Kotaku.

I mean... this doesn't interest anybody? That they clearly have financial motivations for the game doing well?

Kojima has been quite blunt about Peace Walker's tie-ins from the getgo.  It's merely humorous to me that Kotaku of all places has the gall to call out another rag over journalistic integrity.

That's quite irrelvent... tie ins are fine... tie ins with magazines that are supposed to be giving unbiased reviews of your product?  Seems... a bit out there.

Especially if you don't announce it in your review.

It's like selling people stock in a company you own when your pretending to be a nuetral consultant.

I'd think the advertisements plastered throughout the magazine have that covered.

I... don't.  There are adverisments on every review site.  It's not really the same as having a liscensing deal with the game, and executives getting paid to appear in advertisements.

 

As for the Kotaku thing by the way... If Jeffery Dahmer calls someone else a murderer and shows proof... I care more that someone else is a murder.
