Frankly, I don't see a problem with not allowing for advertising, or free anything, if you feel you're not being given a fair shake.  Now, we can all agree or disagree on the finer points of The Order, but it's his opinion regarding it.  And, if I were to assume the role of a dev who'd worked on a title, and had the perception that said title was receiving undue levels of hatred and vitriol, that's not been seen applied to many other titles, and nowhere near that level of aggression, yeah, I'd be curious why we're doing anything to assist those reviewers in the first place.  It's a perfectly legitimate question to ask, imo.

im for no gaming adds on gamemedia sites, but that that doesnt change that gawkr is a company run by retarded monkeys.

and crying over bad reviews is just stupid. make it like uwe boll, fight em like a man.

(disclaimer, the order isnt as badly written or funny as a boll movie)

But why are reviews bad for games and not for movies? I say is becuase of the financial risk, and that is why there is so much whining on the developers/publishers, well why cant we, consumer be protected from OUR financial risk? I dont want to wasted US$60 on a bad game when there are better options out there. Reviews are always a suggestion and consumers used to protect their investment, anyone complaining agaisnts reviews is complaining because he/she is being financially affected.
