I‘ve been seeing quite a few sponsored video reviews, where the studio making the game is paying for the review. Here’s a few examples (there’s a lot more):
- Dungeons Of Eternity VR - Gauntlet Style Co-Op Greatness!
- Crossfire Sierra Squad Revived my PSVR2
- Propagation Paradise Hotel Review - The Scariest VR Survival Horror of 2023?
What’s everyone’s take on these?
I’m not a fan, I guess it could be okay if the the reviewer is up front about it. If these start popping up on lemmy I’d be annoyed, maybe we can make a rule for the community that no sponsored videos should be posted? I tend to not like video reviews, I’d rather read a 1 page review in 3 minutes vs watching a 15 minute video.
I haven’t seen any posted yet, these were just examples because I noticed more of these from the few VR YouTubers
