i emailed them and they responded with this: i asked them why they added a 40/100 on meta and on their site there's no score, they said that metacritic requires a score for a review to be allowed, i told them that it's not true and they have a unscored section and they said : "This is what we were told by our Metacritic contact. Every review we send to Metacritic has a rating based in that instruction."
"I reached out to my contact for further explanation. His reply: "Our partnership began prior to the creation of that unscored section (which we added in late 2015), and we continued the collaboration as initially constituted - with your team sending me your scores for each new review."" |
Interesting.... his review was really poorly written.
On Kinda Funny, the issue came up today. Gregg read out a message stating the score and Colin said whoever rated it a 40 was an idiot...
Little did they know, Mike Thomsen was the writer... they soon found out and asked "our Mike Thomsen?" (Mike Thomsen wrote in a section called contrarian corner for IGN previously).
Funny calling him an idiot.....which I wouldnt not agree with. :P
