As part of PR firm Kohnke's complaint against Gods & Heroes developer Perpetual Entertainment, the company claimed to have convinced "reviewers to write positive reviews about the game." This blunt wording caused many to question Kohnke's methods, and the company has responded to this claim by saying the verbiage was a typo.

"This was nothing more than a typo in the complaint," Kohnke VP Sean Kauppinen wrote to Shacknews. "The game was never released, so it should be clear we didn't mean 'reviews,' but 'previews.'"

Kauppinen went on to say Kohnke never tries to sway a reviewer's opinion of a game. It's a PR agency's job to portray a game in a good light, he said, but it's ultimately up to game journalists to make the decision. "Flat out, we don't convince people to write positive reviews," he stated.

"Anyone who knows me or anyone else here at Kohnke knows that we would never attempt to influence a score from what a journalist thought a game deserved," Kauppinen added. "To reiterate, we're not paying anyone off to review games, this is not related to Jeff Gerstmann, the Illuminati, or HGH in baseball."
