| Aura7541 said: OneAngryGamer has a pretty interesting alternative view on this. Some examples of shitty reviews the site gave made me go "How did this person get this job?" I can see why Bethesda is doing what it's doing because some reviewers can't resist instilling politics and social justice in their writing whereas consumers care if the game of interest is actually good or not. |
Shitty clickbait reviews with political agendas don't matter if a game is good and meets target audience expectations. And normally those sorts of reviews help a game to do better. If a SJW blasts a game as sexist or racist or whatever does that make you more or less sympathetic towards the game?
So companies are being pretty pathetic if they are making decisions based on reviewers and websites with poloitical agendas.
Funny how some people on here are putting out the whole "buy the game if you want to review it" BS. But Bethesda is still handing out free code, so they still see sales as review dependant and getting good reviews as important enough to hand out free games to it's approved reviewers.
