That mock trailer was expertly crafted, especially since I've seen most of the actual reviews they came from. Props to the editor for cementing exactly how opinions can not just be guided, but straight up misled with some simple editing tricks and restrictions. It's really important to use reviews as a supplementary opinion, but to think for yourself and do your own research and even personal testing in person.

I really love one who is being honest when reviewing certain products of a company for viewers or customer's sake. And it does help the company to improve on their weak point. Any way, companies do such positive promotions for a good reason to their own companies. They even don't like one to speak bad about their products on the certain part it can't perform better. So they try by coaching the KZbinrs who gonna review that specific product on what to to tell the viewers and focus most. That's kind of not being honest with the client. Anyway, that's normal game they play with us but we know too

Awesome breakdown. There is one more factor: Micro-Influencers. While it's great that brands are including smaller creators, micro-influencers tend to be super enthusiastic about products from big brands and they tend to do multiple videos which usually lean on the positive side. The brand gets a flood of content across a sustained period of time and the creator gets the views. This is especially true if it's a paid-for collaboration.

[@thawne4235]

But for games, if the actual product ends up trash and not live up to the hype, the brand gets absolutely destroyed. No matter how "out of context" they take the quotes. Like what happened with CD Project Red's Cyberpunk 2077. More than 10 years of work, and today, its nothing more than a major source of meme materials. Tech companies shield themselves by releasing multiple ultra, max, lite, pro, note and what not, at once. People get confused what's what, and the complaints sort of fades away...

[@sivasubramanianm2029]

Second that. I've seen automobile magazines have 'long-term' reviews that talk about failures of components, how the manufacturer handled the repair etc., after using it for a while, supplementing their actual 'road-test' because there's only so much you could say from driving a car for just a few days. Likewise, would like to see long-term and ownership-experience focussed reviews which, say, talks about charging / battery drain issues, how a brand makes processing warranty easy or hard (go undercover, absolutely don't reveal it's either of you) - that way user get a 360° view of the device ownership (or at least the brand) to make better decisions. Currently, reddit is the source of such experiences / rants. But such reviews from you guys adds more credibility to the claims.

As a lawyer, I can tell you: Y’all need an attorney to constantly update your license agreements and promotion contracts so as to account for such tactics from the companies. These agreements need to be robust and exhaustive to accommodate for any foreseeable contingency, and this would be accomplished through language that is clear and conspicuous. There is some boilerplate language often used in such agreements and plenty of people will just cut and paste it from a template found online or some other readily available source. To be honest, I’ll let you in on a secret: we attorneys do the exact same thing and charge exorbitant fees to do so. However, the price we charge is not for that protocol, as some may think. If it were, it would be prudent to just use a template and modify it themselves and cut out the attorney all together. No. What justifies our rates is the modifications we are trained to make accounting for contingencies mentioned above. Our ability to do that and protect your interests is a nuance that can make all the difference in the world. For example, the “out of context” element of which you spoke could be readily addressed with a right of refusal clause stating basically that any desire to use language, video, audio both presently in existence or in a format yet to be invented in the future in whole or in part must first be approved in its final form by the licensor. That way, any violation thereof would result in a monetary remedy payable to the licensor and an immediate injunction. Then there is the aspect of avoiding arbitration clauses, blah blah blah. So yeah, get a lawyer and make sure that aspect of nuanced modifications to the framework of the form agreement is afforded the full weight of their attention. The slightest bit can make all the difference.

"any desire to use language, video, audio both presently in existence or in a format yet to be invented in the future in whole or in part must first be approved in its final form by the licensor."

Why is it so complicated writing all that stuff. It's like it was never meant to be read.

@@austinspain4296 “this content” doesn’t clearly address future content nor variations thereof. “Any form” is too broad. Taken literally, “any form” would prevent your own use of social media altogether on one end of the spectrum. By its very nature, social media uses everyone’s content to generate revenue. Language must be carefully tailored. There are consequences to language containing terms differentiated between common use versus legal use.
