Oh my godness, videogame journalism being corrupt? UNBELIABLE.

I'm just jealous, I still haven't had a chance to be a dick. :lol:

The only thing that this "story" and comments like yours prove is that much of the video game community is full of overly-zealous man-children who have an over-inflated sense of the significance of their hobby and the "news media" surrounding it.

The fact that the woman in question worked for Square Enix at one time (as a consultant) and wrote a review of Deus Ex: HR at another is not some major scandal that signifies how corrupt games "journalism" (lol!) is, in fact it isn't even evidence of any conflict of interest.

This is inane and representative of the most pervasive idiocy in online gaming communites, and I actually wish you wouldn't have brought this nonsense here.

Eh... I really don't have it in me to get worked up about the corrupt "video game industry" anymore. I think it's common knowledge that most of these "journalists" and "reviewers" are just PR shills. Easy enough to ignore them.

Another bit of nonsense is the way that the OP posted a link to a story without any real comments what the story is about and what's the issue. Very weak post.

I don't think you quite gather what's going on. Said journalist could have gotten a PS3 on a raffle.

This shakes my belief in the system as whole.

Also this just in: reviewers get games for free.

Next you are going to tell me that people who review movies and albums get those for free, attend industry events with frequency, and have often spent time working in the industries they write about. Preposterous! I bet you expect me to believe that political commentators have worked in campaigns, too?!

Meh, my love for Doritos has been way down since they got rid of Fiery Habanero.
