>>41104664>The only way to get real reviews would be to basically fund an independent review e magazine that depends completely on user donations instead, so nobody can hold them hostage when they need to shit on shitty games like it needs to be done.this actually exists but they unfortunately they only care about children's games/tv/movies/etc. and their 'value' to children and their parents. They're called Common Sense Media. I think if something like that has funding, surely someone could get a more general version of it going for 'normal' reviews of all ages entertainment. It's not like the issue of unbiased/paid reviews is exclusive to video games after all
>>41104778>But then they wouldn't be able to review early cause why would companies risk getting bad propaganda but imagine the other side of that. If there's this well known, trusted, non profit organization that attempts to review games objectively and a big company refuses to send them a copy of their new game to review, it's going to look incredibly bad for them. perhaps it would reflect just as poorly as an actual negative review
