What I find strange is that WB generally produced decent to good games

Why did they need to do this?

>Remembers those absurd rumors that Disney was paying critics for good reviews of their Marvel superhero films and bad reviews for its competitors? Well, it turns out Warner Bros. was guilty of such a practice, at least for its video games. The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) just found WB culpable in complaints of paying notable YouTube inlfuencers for producing videos presented as game reviews that were actually sponsored content.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhaahahahahahaha

I forget the journalist who left Gamespot for this very reason, he went public, literally no one cared... This was easily 6 years ago.

I don't see why everyone is so surprised about this.

Everyone wants to make money, however they can any way they can regardless of their effect on others.

I think people are more surprised that a company got caught with their pants down.

Its more to do with the fact that DC Fans in this board have been parroting the fact that Disney paid critics and now WB/DC got caught paying for favorable reviews in their games.

I mean, I have no doubt Disney does it too but at least they haven't gotten caught.

But Chaim and Shlomo were on 4chan for years telling us there's no way big companies pay for reviews. It's just a /v/ meme. Corruption doesn't real everyone, just buy the games.

If this is true, could it be, I mean might it possibly be the case.. do you guys think that..

These same companies pay for movie reviews???

They just paid LPers for positive coverage, not reviewers since Lets Players arent critics

Ah, they had a small window of popularity but their shit site was holding them back hard.

Also, what a bunch of fucktards. Their content was like 45 mins... How do you not understand fucking the internet.

Turns out no one in the world liked BvS.

Wow, so even the few positive BvS reviews were shills.

If you think they don't also do this for their movies, along with severe Astro turfing on places like /tv/ and paying for preferential moderation and extras like stickies then you're insane.

>>71924513

Agreed.

It's been an open secret for some time.

The irony.
>>
>>71921423
They had only themselves to blame for outsourcing it instead of just pushing it ahead a couple of months

fucking /v/ kiddies, nobody cares.

>>71920878

WB isn't the only ones doing this at all. Every development or publishing group in any aspect of the entertainment industry has paid a review or five thousand here and there. Games, technology, movies, music, etc.
>>
>>71924972
there's a pretty huge difference between "open secret" and "proven in a court of law."

everyone does it. WB was just stupid enough to get caught.

Of course everyone does it.

Most of them just aren't WB levels of retarded to actually get caught.
