@Damo Two things there. First of all, you don't cover Nintendo content the same way. Yes, you use PR statements here and there, but this site is usually very informative and fair, which is why I come here in the first place. But never have I read a fluff piece for an upcoming game (unless it was openly a sponsor, which is be fine) the way you did for the Amico. And secondly, even it wouldn't be the same if you treated Nintendo that way. Because at this point I'd imagine Nintendo gets at least the benefit of the doubt. Sure, not all their games are 10/10s, or their hardware always flawless, but our trust in them is based on the fact that they are the most consistent company in gaming history. They've never ran away with anyone's money, and it'd be beyond out of character for them to do so.
@Damo While the titles would seem neutral enough to sound like reporting, I'd point out that two of these heavily feature PR statements and one of them is really just that with a couple parapgraphs at the beginning and one at the end. There's one from early this year that does seem much more neutral, but almost two years alter, after many points to the contrary, and essentially an ad piece, I'm sorry if it doesn't read the same.

@BloodNinja I'm not vindictive at all, nor am I slandering people. It's a fairly tame criticism given the situation.

Actually, diggin' a little more, this one reads like an ad too:

@BloodNinja I'm sorry it bothers me this website supported a scam and proceeds to make excuses
Re: Intellivision's Offices Are Now Empty And Available, If You Want Them
@Damo And you'd call this "reporting"?

I hope this website has learned their lesson and won't support transparent vaporware ever again.
