I wish that were true but sadly it's not. Reviews have a huge impact on what people end up buying. Many people here have admitted that they don't play anything with a lower than 80+ meta. You can also see people's reaction to reviews and how they state they've lost interest in the game. Even if they do play the ps+ version, I'm sure many will end up not enjoying it because they've already decided that it's not good based on the reviews and they'll only be looking for flaws. And again, a wallet is happy when you spend no money, so if they do buy the game, your wallet won't be happy. |
If they find the PS Plus version good enough they will upgrade to the full version, but we may never know as the full digital version is much cheaper than the retail version.
Reiews have an effect on a game's sales because its customers believe in what the reviewers say as they cannot try out the game. Besides in games of this type nobody has to consider a story or anything, they will judge the game entirely based on the gameplay, the experience and the fun they can have with the PS Plus version.
