EGM Banned From Products For Bad Reviews

According to Dan Hsu (Editor-in-Chief of EGM), Midway’s Mortal Kombat development team, Sony’s sports game division, and Ubisoft have all allegedly banned EGM from further coverage of their products. The reason: Apparently, they didn’t take too kindly to EGM’s review coverage of their games. Still, Hsu maintains that EGM “won’t treat these products or companies any differently.”

If this is in fact true those 3 companies should be ashamed of themselves. Props to EGM for standing up for themselves and their beliefs. More review sites should post something similar to all the companies who blackballed them in the past for bad reviews. They SHOULD give names, not just say that it has happened to them, and maybe it will make companies think twice about ruining their reputations.
