Frankly, I don't see a problem with not allowing for advertising, or free anything, if you feel you're not being given a fair shake.  Now, we can all agree or disagree on the finer points of The Order, but it's his opinion regarding it.  And, if I were to assume the role of a dev who'd worked on a title, and had the perception that said title was receiving undue levels of hatred and vitriol, that's not been seen applied to many other titles, and nowhere near that level of aggression, yeah, I'd be curious why we're doing anything to assist those reviewers in the first place.  It's a perfectly legitimate question to ask, imo.

But who wins anything out of hating the order? it makes no sense.

the thing is reviewers sometime are not messuring quality really, they measure how much something is liked/likable, the problem iwith the order is that it has produced dislike for being a episodic game selling its first episode for US$60, the developer is talking about variation in the industry but still wants to charge $60 for barely any content. From my point of view it seems like most people that play it feel ripped off.

Well, clearly reviewers win, because click-bait articles create far far more traffic than simple news.  That's just reality, unfortunately.  Look at AV Club's review of Uncharted 3, gave it a 50, had thousands upon thousands of site visits, just because of that.  They were pretty much an unknown before that.
