That reviews scores would influence sales does feel intuitive. Perhaps publishers also feel reassured that they've based their decisions on a quantifiable number." "But I won't pretend that I have all the answers. I don't really know why or why not a particular game sells well or poorly. My data isn't equipped to answer that question, either. What I do know is that no correlation between Metacritic scores and unit sales exists, and I think it's foolish for publishers to tie monetary compensation to such scores." |
lol you gotta be kidding me.
I hope you're not the one who wrote that article.
