Someone paid for coverage in gaming magazine? He/she paid with cash/body/alkoholic drinks/friendship? I don't give a single fuck about it. It is business and both sides have full right to do so (hey, with so many games out there you have to get your coverage somehow; with so many gaming magazines out there you have to scrape a cash somehow). I know it can lead to many problems but I am fully supportive of "if something is legal then I don't care if it's ethical" (hell, I'd make cloning legal).>  Would you care if this were happening at FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC, 60 Minutes, NYTimes, WSJournal, or any other MSM source? Are you aware that gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry? If main stream media were engaging in this sort of conduct, the DoJ and FTC would be involved. In fact, the FTC is involved right now. Gaming journalists think their immune because they assume everyone is like you. Nobody cares.  Well they're wrong.
