GameTrailers Is Closing Down After 13 Years

I lost interest years ago when it became apparent that their positive or negative news coverage of games was based less on the actual content of the games, and more presumably on whether they were paid to give it a positive or negative review. There's some really blatant examples of them bashing some very high quality titles, and vice-versa with writing glowing reviews for unplayable garbage.

It's good to see them finally go. I only wish it could have been sooner.

That's exactly why I stopped following them. The quality of their reviews really dropped at some point, they were praising some titles too much (mainly PlayStation ones), with very little criticism.

My understanding is that this kind of payola is rampant in the industry and has been for decades?
