TBH devs dont need real reviews anymore. The time when the people that had a brain were the ones that decided wether or not a game is a hit are long over.
Marketing is the key today.
If you cant make a good game, make people believe it is a good game.
So I agree.
And I find it kinda funny how all this works. I mean people that do know whats going on understand that not all reviews are okay (some are "influenced" by $$$ etc) so for them reviews dont have the value they could have. They are probably not more than a nice and dont alwas have an impact anymore.
On the other hand people that still get fooled and believe every review is"fine" are the ones that dont care about reviews anyway and buy stuff because its hyped up.
So in theory reviews can go the way of the THQ dodo and nothing would change.
