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 month ago (1 children)

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

Now you're not reading what I wrote.
