According to Dan Hsu (former EGM Columnist and co-founder of Bitmob.com) has gone on twitter saying that websites have had their negative reviews of Fallout: New Vegas taken down due to advertiser pressure. You'd think after Jeff Gerstmann was fired from Gamespot for giving a somewhat negative review of Kane and Lynch, that publishers would avoid getting mixed up in something like that.
BUT.
This shit has been going on all the time, not to the degree of Gerstmann-Gate, sure. But there have been lots of PR nightmares where publishers and developers have had foot-in-mouth moments about negative reviews of games. Though few of them result in reviews getting taken down. It's still a little early so I will be posting more on this supposed scandal.
