Really, this will help companies? As if metacritic scores aren't given way too much attention by the industry already anyway, linking the salaries or bonuses people in game development get to a website that aggregates opinions is disgusting already, if these scores started getting an even bigger importance through things like Amazon this would really only have negative effects on companies and on reviews as well, cause the more importance metacritic gains the more realistic becomes the whole "all reviewers are paid off" scenario, that some conspiracy theorists are already seeing today.
Also I find it a bit insulting to suggest that game developers aren't already working as hard they can to make the games they develop as good as they can in the time they have.
So I'm happy that Amazon has seemingly removed the Metacritic scores again.
