Gamespot have advertisements, if thats what you mean.. GS is paid to put those ads up.. a lot of places do it, even magazines have pages dedicated to advertisements.

Well if "advertisements" are what he is referring to, then "sponsor" was an extremely poor choice of words for many reasons, not the least of which is that "sponsor" refers to a competely different arrangement altogether.

A "sponsor" (that's how you spell it) is someone who provides money. Gamespot doesn't "sponsor" any games, they do not pay them any money. I believe you were referring to companies who pay gamespot to advertise on their site

They show advertisements for the games because they're paid to do so. And the games get bad reviews because they suck.
