Superbuu3 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I'm surprised no one brought up the issue that they may give better reviews to companies willing to list their games on humble bundle. I mean we know they were involved in being paid for reviews. Edited October 14, 2017 by Superbuu3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Humble Bundle isn't a charity (Like others have already said) They're a business selling you products with the "gimmick" of being able to send some of your money to a charity of their choice, they're still making plenty of money themselves. I doubt it's IGN's intent to remove the main force/structure of the site to increase their own profit because it would be disadvantageous for them and end with the site most likely fizzling out over time. 47 minutes ago, Superbuu3 said: I'm surprised no one brought up the issue that they may give better reviews to companies willing to list their games on humble bundle.

(or any reviews) If I'm thinking of buying a game I'll look up comments on this site or watch gameplay on Youtube to judge if it's something I want. The opinion of reviewers or paid websites should be taken with a grain of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we're talking millions of people that will have an effect on the game industry as a whole, even if only 5-10% of those people followed through on a purchase.

RIP in peace Humble Bundle IGN is known for promoting about to release AAA titles in exchange for early review copies and "first looks" which increase traffic to their site/channels. and/or monetary values. If IGN is anything, it's being loaded as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
