Articles with Potential Conflicts of Interest:

Summary:
Gwaltney's article not only singles out Walker's piece within Videogames for Humans, but peppers it with praise. What is omitted within the article is that Gwaltney had also been supporting Walker's patreon for several months beforehand. This could lead to question of whether this financial relationship could have affected the coverage. In any case, this is a potential conflict of interest.
