Bias

10%

Examples:

  • PlayStation continues to reap the benefits of being the console market leader this generation, but Arrowhead has no such protection.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Helldivers 2 was immediately popular on PlayStation with regular updates and expansions
  • PlayStation's intervention led to the game being delisted from several countries on Steam

Deceptions

85%

Examples:

  • Despite Nintendo’s litigious nature, not to mention its fierce protectiveness over its brand image and that of its mascots, the notice from Nintendo comes as a bit of a shock.
