About

In what would come to be known as the Driv3rGate scandal, appears to have accepted a deal with Atari to publish extremely positive reviews of their videogame Driv3r in exchange for an exclusive. The game turned out to be buggy and unplayable, with a large portion of its lackluster sales coming before the extremely-negative reviews from other outlets followed, and Future mass-censored its online forums to hide its readers’ discontent.
