You have a right to know when someone was paid
Cash, keys, trips, hardware, affiliate cuts, “early access” in exchange for coverage — if value changed hands, it has to be obvious. A buried thanks is not compliance.

Know your rights. Demand compliance.
What you are owed
You already have rights. Studios and influencers are required to honor them.
Paid coverage that pretends to be an honest opinion is advertising. If nobody names the payment, you are being used to move product — and the people who got paid are counting on you not knowing the difference.
You have a right not to be misled
Store pages, trailers, and scripted “reviews” cannot sell a game, feature, or drop that isn’t there. Fake organic praise is still a scam if the audience can’t tell it’s an ad.
You have a right to demand compliance
Consumer-protection rules already exist. They only work if violations are documented, stacked, and pushed. Silence is how the industry keeps the current arrangement.
When you get scammed, influencers get paid
The money doesn’t vanish. It lands with the studio and the creator who sold you the line. That is why we treat undisclosed promotion as a consumer-rights issue, not a drama thread.
This is not optional courtesy. It is the law.
Endorsement and advertising rules in the U.S., U.K., E.U., and elsewhere already require clear, conspicuous disclosure of material connections. KeepGamingHonest exists so players can know those rights — and so a public record of infractions exists when companies and creators ignore them.

Saw a suspected infraction? File it.
Our team uses these reports to investigate consumer-rights violations. Corroborated files can be packaged for regulators — and, where the facts support it, used in class-action efforts against offending influencers.
