Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Samsung Gaming Hub works with most standard Bluetooth gamepads but then goes on to say that third-party accessory makers who work with Samsung through the program will provide a better gaming experience. This implies that regular Bluetooth gamepads do not provide an optimal gaming experience which is false. Secondly, the author claims that hardware partners who work with Samsung through the program will add a Designed for Samsung Gaming Hub badge to their products but does not mention anything about this badge being mandatory or required in order to use Samsung Gaming Hub. This implies that any product without this label can still be used with Samsung Gaming Hub which is false. Lastly, the author claims that the PDP Replay Wireless Controller offers up to 40 hours of battery life but does not mention anything about its performance or compatibility with other devices which are important factors for a gaming controller.
