Its seems to you a review should be a way the gaming community can punish a dev which is just wrong. If it is broken at launch the dev will lose sales at the full price point. If the game is fixed or amended they cant undo lost sales. Reviews are for the consumer and in many cases that do not properly do their job. |
developers only have themselves to blame. If they are incapable of getting the game right the first time it is unreasonable to expect reviewers to keep checking the game to see if it is fixed, especially after the initial release sales surge is over. Updating the score for incredibly badly handled releases and online is fair enough as reviewers can't really check that prior to release. Reviews aren't there to punish developers, but they aren't there to reward there poor releases either. Life is too short with way to many games constantly being released, why would anyone want to go back and review something on the hope it has been fixed.
