I review games for a gaming website and we have never received a cent from any publishers. I have the last of us media kit sitting at home waiting to be reviewed, I never received a cent from Sony. This childish notion is bullshit and needs to stop.

Your site is not as big as IGN or Gamespot. You can't expect publishers to pay off every reviewer. Once your site have hundreds of thousands of followers, publishers will come for you.

Jeff Gerstmann (A well known reviewer) got fired from Gamespot after he gave Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (A shitty game) a bad review, because Eidos Interactive payed Gamespot to give the game a good score.

Is this notion bullshit now?

Is there any proof to this? I am just going by first hand information. When we contact publishers to review their games they want to see data about our website like page views per week and consumer integration with the site. Nothing at all about money.
