This is what you brought up. And you would not have if it wasn't important enough for you to do so. I never said you said it was important. Your actions in bring it up did. Otherwise, there would be no need in mentioning it. |

It was pretty clear what I was getting at with my first post in this thread: "Is this news? Every single video game company, movie studio and record label does exactly the same thing all year round." |
You own the site, but have you ever seen the posts here?? A game having a slightly better textures is huge news LMAO. Welcome to gaming forums. So yes, this is big news if you go by the usualy gaming forum standard. HEck we have pages of threads on lesser crap.
did some of you just wake up to 21st century advertising(company's are shady, well what do you know). The ones to blame and should be called out are the people who accepted the agreements. the company's cant make you do something if you are not willing to offer up yourself.

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. |
I fully agree, it makes me sick quite frankly, this stuff needs to be called out way more. The game industry and reviews themselves have a long way to go. Hate these types of practices.

Hey, I wasn't the one getting irrate over a legit suggestion of startng a new thread. Oh, and I'm not your mom but she did call. She wanted me to tell you that on your way home from the store, please do not forget to bring home a loaf of bread, a carton of milk, and a stick of butter. Oh, and the condoms. Don't forget the condoms. Ribbed.

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."
Xbox One is the best console ever made.
Microsoft is the best company ever.
Bonus:Halo is best game series ever made.
Take my love, take my land..

Wherever there is money there is corruption - the government, police force, bankers etc - video game media is a tiny drop in the ocean and the least of all of our worries! |
Man I just had flash backs from The wire. I agree, human nature.
