Daily reminder that you're a dumbass if you still think that Paid Reviews are a major thing in the industry.
Daily reminder that OP is a fag

It's likely less of an actual cash-in-hand sort of thing and more of a fear of blacklisting, being taken over by free goodies from publishers and general shittaste.

I bet OP is some naive kuk who thinks "paid review" simply means getting paid cash to give good scores.
Even the promise of advance copies is a payment.
A lot of games journalists have given startling accounts of not-so-subtle briberies from game companies when they've been invited to review their games.
Dorito Pope wrote an article describing this very thing some years ago for example.

>Thinking that reviewers don't get paid in "perks" like swag and parties and are held to ransom if they don't give them good scores
Cry more bitch nigga

That is retarded as well, only idiots give reviewers a celebrity status.
>he got the game early and wrote something about it, I must take his opinion as a fact and praise him for that
-Retarded people-

then why is Kotaku whining about being blacklisted?
A: because they're persona non grata and they won't receive any more handouts of information
meanwhile, all that sweet newsworthy content will go to their competitors
and advertisers go where the clicks are
this is how paid reviews work
sure, devs and publishers are assholes, but the game journos are the bigger cunts in all of this
they're supposed to be on YOUR side, not theirs

Just like that time when some dev had some info leaked and asked them to not publish, he asked them nicely but they didn't give a fuck and published it anyways claiming that they had integrity.
Haha cunts
