Famitsu is paid off by certain publishers! Wow! Can we trust anything that they say after this admission

I certainly don't pay famitsu. I live in the USA I tried getting a subscription. they're just like everyone else, but I tend to trust famitsu more than gay American fake game sites

What kind of newfag doesn't know Famitsu reviews are basically based on how much they got paid? It's like the most common knowledge of how irrelevant their reviews are for the last twenty years.
Anyway basic retail tracking is easy to corroborate since multiple agencies do that on top of publisher reporting, so their sales tracking isn't in question.
