Always good to get contextual information, in this case it sounds like when those Youtubers/Influencers make content they need to disclose it's paid promotion. But this sounds like par for the course and not targetted at Reviewers specifically. Maybe we're missing info that makes this shaddy?
Most influencers would gladly shill this game for free. I really wonder what the hell is going on in CD ProjektRed marketing. But if they're disclosing I guess it's fine.
This isn't really anything new and it's the reason why everything from videos to streams to tweets have #ad, #sponsor, or anything to indicate that it's sponsored content now.
Is there really any moral difference between playing a game on the internet and getting paid to play a game on the internet and talk about it favorably. I mean these are toys, who cares.
"possibly" lol, this was more obvious than any game ever. Immediately noticed this even before all of the drama and controversies came out. They're literally being put into the game
