Yea no... If they start doing that, then developers won't care to release fully functioning games in day one cause the reviews will just update when the games gets fixed so games will be even more broken than they were before in day 1 so no thanks

At least the non-updated way will teach the idiotic people that release games in a broken state to stop releasing them in a broken state or else it will affect the game's score


Thats just not true. Games sell a ton at launch when hype is the highest and a broken or lacking game at launch means a TON of lost sales.

Reviews are not about "punishing devs" as they SHOULD be meant to educate consumers.

I agree. Reviews should educate the consumer about the product they have at hand. If it is a broken piece of shit, has missing features or a bad game when they have played it, then the score should reflect that.

However, perhaps an update in the review is needed to inform consumer that a number of improvements have been made via patch or whatever, but the score and the general tone should remain the same.
