  1. paying for positive reviews is common in Hollywood, that’s why Force
    Awakens got universal praise immediately upon release, then mixed reviews
    as the months went on.

  2. ARC Survival Evolved should have been on this list. A game in early access
    releasing paid dlc. The Division down grade in content from trailers and
    E3.

  3. *You covered ReviewTechUSA on paid mods but not him stealing Queso Grande’s
    2OO pesos?*

  5. I agree with this list. Konami literally cancelled what would’ve been a
    very good comeback for Silent Hill. That was like throwing a perfectly good
    pineapple cake, freshly made and smelling great down on the ground.
