This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I just thought I'd point out that our integrity policy, which we here treat as a constitution to govern all of our actions here at GameBump, includes the following section:
Advertising on this website never equates to endorsement, and vice versa. No content will ever be created or posted at GameBump by or at the request of any third party. Outside companies impose no authority whatsoever over our editorial or management practices.
In Short: If you see an ad for a game here, it doesn't mean we like it; and if we say we like a game, it doesn't mean the makers paid us off. Nobody can influence our opinions.
As an independent company not beholden to any larger corporate masters, we feel it is important to disclose all of our policies and that they be as reader-friendly as possible. We get requests all the time to feature sponsored content from game companies that we have to decline, as much as we'd love the money, because we refuse to allow third party companies to affect our coverage in any way.
However, we're not above accepting free materials from game companies IF it helps us provide coverage and never with any conditions attached. Like most outlets, the games we review are often sent to us by the publishers, but we never take that into account when impartially reviewing them.
