I just want to go on record saying that this is still hearsay for the most part and that I do dislike the practice.
But I also have to say that if a developer is funding the website via an ad campaign or some other means, the website is no longer unbiased as, lets be honest, it wants the developer's money and future funding. We can all dream of unbiased websites free from developer funding, but I think it's best to accept that they will realistically continue accepting developer funding and just try to avoid reviews from websites that run adverts from said game. It's not like the internet stops when a developer runs an ad campaign, there are dozens of other review sites (if not hundreds) out there :P
