I'm just going to read this as "fair warning.... our website really needs a boost to ad revenue and we feel that the only way that is going to happen is by giving Mario Odyssey a yellow or possibly red review, so far we're just waiting to hear back from finance to let us know just how clickbaity we need to make it"

I really wonder who will be the first site to try to justify giving this 70% it should cause quite the amount of "controversy" (click bait ad revenue).

Probably best not to justify the score in the slightest, just drop a 50% and at the same time review a few dogshit ios apps at 90-100 saying they're perfect outside of the controls/length/cost and lack of any graphics or music. Should get them clicks in.

Talk about overreacting.

Are you on drugs?

Edit - I should take the time to point out that I'm not a fan of one line replies, but if you think my simply explaination of how sites who are allowed to post on metacritic are fully aware that a yellow post right now will get them a ton more ad revenue than at 70th "green" score, it's simply a matter of finances of a site demanding it happen and the writing staff needing to come up with a way to justify the review as much as possible to avoid it being too obvious.

Still though... if you think I'm over reacting to something... yeah, it's probably best time to take a re-read of my post or ya know, don't.
