Another game with no reviews out on launch day

Well first of all you shouldn't let game reviewers make decisions for you and second it's good that they're not getting copies early for these kind of games because it's puts everything at a level playing field to play.

I strongly disagree with this.While you should buy a game if you are interested in it, reviews serve as a way to gauge your interest in a game, to see if the game has the qualities you seek.If the reviewers say the game is bad, there is a reason a game is bad and you should spend your money elsewhere.And thats especially true today, with the quantity(and quality) of games available.Reviewers do reviews for a living.Dont dismiss them so easily.

Now to the OP at hand, yeah its a terrible practice.But thats not the reviewers fault, since it seems it had an important day one patch.The one that is at fault here is Hello Games.It is worrisome when this happens, because it seems they have something to hide, as many users has said.And before someone says:if they needed more time, why not delay the game?I mean, it was already delayed several times, and they even had one last delay to finish up details.Why not give it a few extra days then?It all sound fishy.
