money hat
The act of paying somebody a large sum of money in order to gain an unfair advantage over another person or group of people. Originated from the concept of a Videogame Publisher providing Videogame Journalists with hats full of money in order to gain favorable review scores. Also used as a term for stealing away a high-profile Game Developer from another gaming platform. Similar in concept to Selling Out.
"Everybody says the game sucks, but PLAY Magazine gave the Xbox 360 version of Sonic the Hedgehog a 9/10. Sega must have been generous with the money hats."
