That THG has been sold. For the record... it wasn't us.

About $15,000,001 too much, if you ask me...
because its a well known fact they review on who pays the best.
Btw person up two posts, if they bough company for 15 mill + im sure they will be same or worse just in for the money.
I used to read all the articles on THG at one point. Then I just noticed the declining quality of their work and stopped. Havent been back for a good few years now.
I still usually check THG every day, but not after I've checked (in order of preference) The Inq, The Register, [H]ardOCP and some other hardware website I can't think of the name of right now
I have to say though - saying that they charge for good reviews is a pretty serious accusation. Not saying it's correct or incorrect, but if it's true then the fact should be publicised more, and if it's false, they should put out a massive PR saying that's the case!
Yes, I used to be an avid fan but have not been in for a while, think the last article I looked at was the o/c of the 805.
They have very good ideas for articles. Then it goes a bit downhill. Sometimes they make some odd decisions when choosing setups for comparisons, but everyone's guilty of that from time to time. What gets me is that they can present a perfectly reasonable article, show lots of results, but then 9 times out of 10 they jump to a conclusion that doesn't bear any relation at all to the results they've just posted.
Most recent example of that for me was the PCIe speed article - they show lots of results that clearly demonstrate that in most cases you only need PCIe x8, and even going to x4 doesn't have much of a drop.. then they state in the conclusion that x16 is a must have?! It seems about one article a week jumps to a similarly bizarre conclusion.
I quite like some of the stuff on there. Anyone see the crazy pc case mods articles recently??
I think its a bit unfair to say they base reviews on who pays most, from what I have seen most of the reviews have been pretty balanced and unbiased.
I also like the fact its always up to date and they're publishing new stuff all the time. Shame if that all changes now its been sold.
