| Kantor said: I really hate this conspiracy theory, and I full-on despise that video for cherrypicking, asserting and generally trying to mislead people in any way possible. Companies do not buy reviews. It does not happen. Do they:
Do they offer money or threaten to take away review copies because you give a game a bad review score? No. Never. If word of that got out, it would be the destruction of that company's image. Especially in the latter case, the moment you threaten to take away a copy, that publication is going to write about it and it is a PR disaster. It's far too risky and it just isn't done. The reason a reviewer likes a game more than the general public in most cases is that the reviewer has been chosen because he was excited for the game and a fan of the genre/series. Of course he is going to like it. Japanese games get low scores because they don't cater to Western tastes. The majority of Western gamers don't want to buy Atelier Rorona, because they have no interest in it. If you are into Japanese culture, you like it. Most reviewers aren't. I am genuinely interested: do you think gamrReview determines scores based on advertising? I honestly have no idea who is advertising with us; I have never received any notice that I should be generous to a game; no money has ever got through to any of us for the purpose of inflating review scores. |
Why should i believe you? you're a reviewer yourself, you've probably stacking up the money and trying to act innocent, and honestly your reviews suck, I'm not going to say it in any other way to try and be nice or anything, but Your reviews really suck, one of the reasons why i find gamrreview as a joke.
No hard feelings.
