Where does it say that? Maybe the review is flagged as paid if the game was accepted from the Curator Connect queue, though I find that odd. I think personal recommendations say that the reviewer received a review copy when that is the case, which is much more accurate.

"A classic style point and click adventure game with a cute pixelated art style"

If we got it by currator connect without anything... additional, I'd remove the "compensation" marking.

Ugh, that's unfortunate and completely inaccurate. :( I can't find anything related to that in the settings though.

Oh, that's actually a manual setting when you post a review. I will ask the member who posted the review if that was intentional. If it's accurate, I will personally pay the developer back and update our policy, as I think goes against the values of this group.

That's a relief. I found the switch at admin corner -> manage reviews -> edit review

Oops :-)

Yikes, all I can say is it wasn't me!

Turns out they had checked that option by mistake, so It's all good now. Thanks for highlighting this, Zyro. :)
