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.
My suggestion - don't take anything at face value.

I think you took my post out of context. Of course you and all of us knew it was news. Normally, your comment implies that it's not discussion worthy whether such action are of recent or past. And that's a matter of opinion, and it's being discussed. So, yes, it's "news."

I don't really understand your point.
All I meant was that I'm surprised that people seem so shocked that things like this happen. That's all. As I said, I'm aware that it is news because people are discussing it but I'm surprised that people are as it is something that should be so obvious to everyone by now.
You are taking my initial sentence too literally.

Actually the more that I think about it, what's really be discussed that so "shocking" are those who are defending the practice because of their console of choice. Of course dodgy dealing happen all the time, and no one with any ethical sense would condone it. But I will stress again, this is a gaming site which we who are passionate about gaming will react passionately about such news and related events. So it's still "news" worthy which is the core of my point.
