Conduit Studio Accused of Amazonbombing Conduit Reviewer - UPDATED
In fairness, it seems that these folks felt like the reviewer was using his review to plug his own stuff. That could mean that the review of
Conduit 2 wasn't being given from a fair perspective, but rather from someone with a clear agenda of his own.
Sometimes reviewers have them, you know. Sometimes it's about downing on one product for the purposes of shedding a good light on another, more self-serving product. Sometimes it's just trying to make news, realizing that negative reviews are more "fun" and "attention-grabbing" than positive or lukewarm reviews. Tell me you don't read some movie reviews and think, "This guy was just looking for an excuse to use that particular jab and look clever."
I'm not saying that's what happened, and I'm certainly not saying the review was wrong. What I'm saying is that
reviewers can be just as guilty of shady dealings as
developers, but we tend to cut them slack because they have individual names and faces. Immaturity met with immaturity excuses no one, but that's just the point--it excuses
no one.
