I wonder if these console partisans realize that behavior like this -- and also whining about a game from a rival system getting a high score -- only makes "clickbait" reviews more common and makes reviewers less likely to articulate an honest opinion. I hope the people on VGChartz lambasting Nintendo/Zelda fans for behaving like petulant children will hold PS, Xbox, and PC fanatics to the same standards, when they inevitably complain about a 7/10 for The Last of Us Part II or a 5/10 for Halo 6. Remember this is a fanboy problem, not a Nintendo or Sony problem. Point out immaturity, ignorance, and fanaticism in all its forms, lest this console war cycle begins anew. |
I think I said something similar before, but I absolutely believe that some publications are going to think twice about giving a low score to certain releases. Sterling doesn't have to worry about that, he runs his own website and isn't dependent on ad revenue. What about an editor who has to explain to his boss why revenue is down, though? What about a writer who is trying to carve out a career?
Pathetic "fans" who try to punish those who disagree with them are really just attempting to intimidate critics into not rocking the boat. They don't want honesty, they want validation.
It really makes me question the worth of review scores even more.
