Even while aware on how infamous the metascores became, I'm undecided. Yes, the consumers would get a general consensus that will help them to quickly decide between their options. But what about consumers that doesn't know about Metacritic's biased scores? They might be pushed to choose a game they won't like. And what about the score updates? For instance, if the score started in 98, Amazon puts that score on the product and forgets to update it when the real metascore is 82. Even the Metacritic site takes too long to update the score of the main page with the one of the game page. In the end of the day, it's a double edged sword.
