This isn't to say that in some cases it isn't free-advertisement, but there are so many risks and considerations for companies that like to be in total control of their image. I can definitely see why big companies would look at it and say, "it isn't worth the free advertisement." |
Reviews are advertisements. Some publishers even give hundreds of copies away to reviwers for free because they have a bae. Indie games dont have the marketing budgets of the large AAA's. They are designed to attract the largest crowd possible in this day and age, promising a large scale spectacle.
