Can someone please explain me how an obvious troll website like Gamecritics is even listed on Metacritic?

Gamecritics : PS exclusives: 
Bloodborne 92 meta -> 70 Gc 
Uncharted 4 93 meta -> 50 Gc 
Horizon ZD 89 meta -> 65 Gc 
Uncharted TLL 84 meta -> 65 Gc 
NieR Automata 92 meta -> 65 Gc 
Persona 5 93 meta -> 65 Gc 

lmao, because they have a different opinions on some games you enjoy, they're "trolls"? By the way, you can probably make a similar list for all three console companies. Lets experiment and see!

Gamecritics : Nintendo Exclusives
Mario Odyssey 97 meta -> 80 Gc
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 92 meta -> 80 Gc
Super Mario 3D World 92 meta -> 60 Gc
Zelda TP 95 meta -> 80 Gc
Zelda SS 93 meta -> 60 Gc
Mario Sunshine 92 meta -> 60 Gc

 

Gamecritics: Microsoft Exclusives
Gears of War 94 meta -> 80 Gc
Halo 3 94 meta -> 70 Gc
Halo Reach 91 meta -> 70 Gc
Gears 3 91 meta -> 65 Gc
Cuphead 88 meta -> 60 Gc
Quantum Break 77 meta -> 50 Gc
Forza 7 86 meta -> 60 Gc
Halo 5 84 meta -> 55 Gc

I had to go back to freakin GCN era to find Nintendo console games. To be honest I could add a lot more, for a site that people here are implying have a strong Nintendo bias and anti Sony bias, they really don't review a lot of Nintendo games and they seem to shit on everyone pretty equally. Maybe they just review harder than other sites and have their own particular ideas about what makes a good game and what they like. Which is fine. I don't watch RedLetterMedia expecting shitty costumes and screaming and fake rage like I would if I ever watched an AngryJoe review. They can have an audience and cater to that audience. And they should be on MC. After all, it's weighted. Furthermore there are more than a few Playstation focused sites giving it great scores, should those come off as well?

I mean it's a 94. That's still really good.

If anything that list shows I was right. 

They clearly are an attention seeking troll site, purposely rating popular games low in order to gain clicks.
