What good do a lot of user ratings do anyone if it's just brigaded by people who haven't played the game and were told to be upset about it by some influencer who has far more of a political agenda than the thing they're upset about?

You didn't read what I wrote.

You only saw the disagreement.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I did read what you wrote. I don't know how metacritic solves the problem without proof of ownership like Steam has, but there's a huge disparity between metacritic brigades and people who own the game. Searching for a few of those key words is going to be a quick way to filter for them, generally.

Yeah, the quick way to filter them is a quick way to piss off Metacritic users.

How the fuck can you claim to have read what I wrote?

That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

I don't know how I could have written what I did without reading what you wrote. I think it's just more of a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. And no positive review would have those words in them, because they're not qualities that a fan of the game would notice (or even be able to define).

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So basically you think I'm wrong that it would be that unpopular of a decision.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Now you're not reading what I wrote.

Oh no, they lost a bunch of people who only joined to troll reviews? What a shame

This is the casually dismissive attitude that got you the next 4 years. You should know how this would go, but you're apparently still in a bubble?
