I did watch it, and you're right. It's not like he was gushing about the game. His actions were far less egregious than others. But it's still an unsavory thing: accepting money from WB to surreptitiously promote a game. PDP is, ostensibly, on YouTube to provide a quality product for his subscribers, yet in this case he was providing a product for Warner Bros. Again, I don't begrudge anyone who wants to watch PDP's videos for a lark. And I don't want to indict every celebrity that's ever sold Pepsi or Gold Bond. But I do think the YouTube community and video game journalists (those that aren't themselves in the tank for one corporation or another) has every right to question PDP's integrity. |
I get you but let's not forget he did disclose it was a promotion. Yes he could of disclosed it better and maybe he fucked up on that part but the media have gone to town on this and twisted it to make a better story. At the end of the day he did nothing wrong and he did more than he needed to but he could of been more clear.
If he got paid to review it in a positive light then that is a lot worse because that is just outright lying since a review requires positives and negatives opinions to give a completely accurate review on your experience of a game.
