Like the other guy, I think you took my post too literally. I know it is news - it is clearly news as it is on every gaming site on the net. All I meant is that it has been going on for years in all industries and all forms of media and I'm just shocked that people seem to be so surprised by it as though it is a shocking revelation and something that is unthinkable. Half of IGNs reviews are written to keep advertisers happy and keep the ad budgets coming in - they aren't going to give a damn about morals and ethics when they have bills to pay. Same with thousands of other organisations. |
I fully agree, it makes me sick quite frankly, this stuff needs to be called out way more. The game industry and reviews themselves have a long way to go. Hate these types of practices.
