Who paid Conan $35k to do the Atari 2600 Clueless Gamer?
That’s not really a shock. It’s essentially a re-wrapped advertisement, and given that Conan’s not a journalist there’s no conflict of interest. Good luck to him.
Sorry i missed what the story is about. Just looked like company paid to be on a talk show to promote their product, doesn’t seem so wrong.
I assume money is always exchanging hands.
