| endimion said: I can see both side of the argument... But if you are going to punish the game for something that will evidently be fixed within days and you perfectly knew it when grading it you should be ready to edit your score, cause new customers post fix won't experience those issues and should be informed in that regard... |
The game should be punished because it is not working at the time of review. It is developer's /publisher's duty and responsibility to deliver a fully functioning game if they have the nerve to ask a full retail price for it.
It is not a reviewer's responsibility to follow the game indefinitely in hopes the problems get fixed. They review the review copy of the game and grade it accordingly. They should not revise the scores at a later date.
That's why I don't agree with websites lowering the scores either. They jumped the gun and scored it blindly just to produce more clicks, they should own up and stick to their premature score...
But as long as paying customers remain appologetic and produce excuses for a subpar work the developer, and keep buying incomplete games for a complete price, we can only expect this to become a trend...
