A little while back i put a rather negative review for BANJO TOOIE on the site hoping others could see some of the problems i had with this game and why i thought it was not as good as the previous one. Imagine my shock to find that when i checked another couple of days later it had been completely erased!!!.
Now i know SR want to sell games so good reviews do help in that, but freedom of speech means we should have balanced positive and negative reviews, thus allowing the reader to make up their own minds as to purchase or not purchase the item.
Has anyone else fallen foul of the SR Censor???

Freedom of speech?

Censorship?

Bah!

I think SR have every right to delete something they don't want other members of the public to see.

They've got an image to maintain!

*Sighs also*

Your review wasn't constructive at all, you basically slagged the game off and didn't list why. In fact, we do keep negative reviews but only if they are well thought out and actually mean something, rather than "DIS GAME IS **** ****** ITS NOT AS GOOD AS DA FIRST ONE"

Catch my drift?

UK doesnt have freedom of speech, that is a fallacy.

We're all suddenly a right little tribe of Sandinistas eh?

SR is a company, a company that sells games. It makes daft business sense to run negative copy on games you sell.
