Statistically speaking a 70 score for a game that had a 98 meta with many reviews is an extreme statistical outlier. His taste or motives should be questioned.

Harassasment should never be tolerated, but this should harm whatever standing he did have.

 

Personally I dont like meta for this reason. They should not count extreme statistical outliers.

I tell you what. I'll wait for you to question the taste and motives of reviewer who gave a Nintendo game with a  70 meta score a 95-100 the next time that happens. I won't hold my breath.

You mean like Jim Sterling's 95% for the 70% Metacritic game with horrible framerate that was Hyrule Warriors (3DS)? Yeah plenty of Nintendo fans were criticisizing him for this crappy score, and his excuse is "I like the genre."

Somehow Hyrule Warriors with its repetitive gameplay, and crap framerate (on the 3DS) is a 95% yet BOTW is a 70%. Right.

 

I doubt you'll find any Nintendo fan who would care if Jim's 95% for Hyrule Warriors (3DS) were removed with his 70% for BOTW because they are outliers.
