I'm sure everyone's heard about the anti-DRM protest at Amazon.com concerning Spore. At present over 2000 people have rated the game, 95% or so of them giving it a single star.
What you might not know is that some sites are actively censoring user contributions and reviews. Presumably this is due to pressure on them from EA. I thought it might be useful to compile a list of such sites, so that their reviews system can be treated with a pinch of salt in future. So far these sites are known to have pulled or censored Spore reviews-
Metacritic aren't showing Spore user reviews- there's a question in the forums here.
Amazon UK have deleted hundreds of reviews on several occasions.
Finally, Gamespot (surprise, surprise) have also been fingered in deleting or censoring user reviews that mentioned DRM.
Anybody noticed any other sites that taken the EA dime?
