If you were submitting your products and they get poor reviews, well then your product sucks but you're not under any obligation to continue giving away free stuff. If EGM wants to review, then just buy the product and rate it. It's tasteless for EGM to reveal this in hopes that all of the companies resume sending them stuff. |
Given that the game publishers are trying to blackmail EGM into giving better reviews, I don't really have a problem with EGM trying to blackmail developers into sending them review material. Turnabout is fair play.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
