After the PR mess that we had yesterday with The Redner Group you'll think that 2K is pretty much done things right with gaming sites.. well not exactly:

I feel sorry for @TheRednerGroup today. We are blacklisted by @2KGames and it seems to be standard practice

2K proves that they are nothing but little kids I see.

They may as well blacklist everyone, because nobody is going to give their crappy game a good review.

Unless they start handling out money :)

then again... there is a difference between giving a bad grade/review.... and being out of line and insulting... if they have been out of line I can understand the ban..... I didn't read the review I'm just saying if they want to review games and say preposterous things about they can but with their own money and without expecting favors... I think it is fairgame.... hell when we see how south the quality of VG journalism went they should all buy the games for review.... instead of expecting freebies....

most reviewers are retarded assholes, who just spout off shit for the lulz. i dont see any problem with either of these groups reviewing the reviews and only providing products to professional behaving reviewers in the future. i hope more publishers and developers join in.  once the morons have been culled it will lead to more trustworthy and fair reviews given out

Wasn't the dude from 2K who tweeted that they would only send review copies of their games to select reviewers, fired a little while after he tweeted that?

I really don't pay attention to reviews because if I bought my games based on scores, I'd only own games that I dislike and would have missed games I loved like Nier. But I'd be pissed if someone reviewed my game with such a score, specially when it deserves much more than that. It really sucks that some people do pay attention to reviews and even cancel their pre-orders when they hear a game has received a low score.
