A popular MMO reviewer gave FFXIV Shadowbringers the thumbs down o.o

Got some proof of that? Like or dislike Peon, lets at least not lie about him.

Why not he lies about Final Fantasy XIV *_*

The dude got paid money under the table to defend Black Desert Online.

Because intentionally accusing someone falsely of a crime is a crime.

The dude got paid money under the table to defend Black Desert Online, he doesn't grasp the concept of standards and taste. Not to mention he just doesnt know what hes talking about in general.

His whole video is wrong, yea you can have an opinion but the opinion is just incorrect. Its like saying you like listening to a song out of tune or you like to read a book backwards or support shady sneaky slimy Korean MMORPG developers, I know it's your opinion but your opinion is dead wrong.

Knowing Pearl Abyss (Dev's for BDO) and Kakao (Publisher for BDO for the NA playerbase) i would not be surprised if this was true lol.

Is it a crime to give a biased review for money?

Fake positive reviews are a form of false advertising, prohibited by the Lanham Act (a federal law).

So you have no proof and you're just lying.

Reviews are one sided...nobody has the exact same tastes in movies/games/shows/books/food/anything. I've learned, mostly from following reviews and going to see movies I ended up not enjoying, to do my own research into things. Forget reviews, and look at the stuff yourself. That's the way I do it.

I'm not saying that he did or didn't, but someone really needs to ask if he did or not and why he hasn't answered to the accusations.

Lazy isn't in the US though.

Why? I mean, he's been up front about the fact he's doing sponsored reviews (and he doesn't pull punches just because he's sponsored). But why should answer to a bunch of internet people throwing accusations at him? It is possible he genuinely likes BDO. It would be like saying that MrHappy is being paid under the table by SE to defend FFXIV. Why would he bother wasting his time defending himself against such obvious lies?
