I don't want to be a statistic in the demographic for mmorpg.com anymore. While I understand this is a business, I find the whole experience here more a giant advertisement. You get paid to put up banners, "fix" scores with any implied meaning, heavily moderate forums with bias, provide excessively positive reviews on horrible material, and link sales to games you review. This site has no integrity, and when an advertiser looks at your statistics, I'd much prefer instead of (x) hits per day, you were to report (x-1).
This site was better in the past, and it has become a disgusting cash cow. I'm disappointed I've been part of the "numbers" of making this what it has become.

Why, he is the great "User deleted". I see him around from time to time.
It's all about money.
What would you choose?
Option 1 - Honesty.
NO MONEY.
No profit.
Option 2 - Deciept.
HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY - FUUUUUUUUU. I CAN BUY EVERYTIN'! ! !!!!!
+ Money = Fame = Population increase = Good stuff.

To me it's a obvious choice. I know some of you might go "Option 1. I am super good." But the thing is if you were actually given the option to get a huge chunk of money on one hand and little as none on the other. You would take the first one.
It's common human behaviour.

I thought User Deleted was Creslin321. He deleted his account.. :-(
As long as you know how this works why worry about it?
I personally dont buy games because of "reviews" or advertisment. Do you?
If they earn alot of money on this forum i couldnt care less anyway, for me its a place to discuss gaming in general and get a heads up on games that i will play in the future.
So.....who was the mysterious OP?
Edit: was Kaelano1
Well crud. I didn't get to ask if I could have all their stuff.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

It is curious though that he made a thread about this. I would've just deleted it and be done with it. Its like if someone really wanted to off himself/herself they wouldn't go around advertising it. Or maybe this is the note they leave behind...

I agree, but is it possible to enter any gaming web community theese days that doesnt profit on "objective reviews" and advertisment?
My point is that as long as you are aware about whats going on it doesnt matter.
