I think there's also pressure to get hits on their site but to avoid internet backlash
In general I think that there are a lot of good developers out there making a ton of really good games... there are way too many good games on the market. Every couple of weeks there's a game worth buying. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
The real problem is when people start complaining about review scores because it doesn't match their impressions of the game regardless of whether they actually played the game or not.
