  • Shady review sites, and writing for "Exposure"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUwzpEE9KsI

    Note - F-bombs aplenty/Jimquisition warning. NOT a game review this time.

    This one's a followup to a recent JQ text article about a former writer for a review site; that site's ownership has (allegedly) engaged in some shady practices; among them: not paying people, and eliminating all traces of their names from the site when they leave...and now they're trying to cover their tracks. Worth checking out.

    Handy-dandy pull quotes:

    "I just think the next generation of games media deserves a better class of parasite than you."

    "If a site can't afford to pay you, it doesn't have the credibility needed to give you the 'exposure' you're being promised." (directed at all writers)
