Don't worry about Metacritic.
The people who want to play the game will play it. Those to don't want to won't play it.
What your seeing is people who want to prevent other gamers from playing this game for whatever reason. Whatever reasons those maybe are not our problem. In the end the individual will decide to think for themselves and elect to play the game for themselves. If they can't make that decision without someone else's opinion, its really not our problem.
When I buy a game, I buy it so I can play it, not because someone I don't know over the Internet can play it.
I don't put much stock in user reviews, and a lot of the time critical reviews are an approximation, its you who decides to play the game, no one else can decide that for you, no matter how hard they try!
