Metacritic only posts what others have written. This website doesn't produce any content on its own. Hence, the blame is on the gamers when they produce immature garbage.
From Horse Armor to Mass Layoffs: The Price of Greed in Gaming. Inside the decades-long war on game workers and the players who defend them.
maybe a real enemy is people who use terms like "the real enemy"
there can be more than 1 bad thing, t's not like a kids show with 1 big bad
Executives seem to often have an obsession with perpetual revenue growth. There is always a finite amount of consumers for a product regardless of growth. Additionally, over investment is another serious issue in gaming.
honestly, the "real" enemy of gaming, is ourselves
if nobody bought horse armor, shitty dlc would have died almost overnight
if we stood firm and nobody bought games from companies that were bad with layoffs, it would be solved
we're the idiots supporting awful business practices, we are the ones enouraging it
Greed and greedy people have and always will be the main issue for everything wrong in the world. Everything is a product to be exploited for monetary gain. Even when there are things that could help progress us along for the sake of making our lives easier that thing must be exploited for monetary gains. Anything that tells you otherwise is propaganda to make you complicit.
I've never thought "DEI" (although the way most people use it doesn't match it's real definition) is the problem with games. Good games have continued to be good when they have a diverse cast, and likewise, bad games have continued to be bad. There isn't a credible example I've seen where a diverse cast has been the direct cause of a game being bad.
Matt Miller: "Every subscription to Game Informer now raises funds for St. Jude. We want you to know what that means."
I subscribed to this not knowing about how some of the proceeds go to St. Judes.
Really cool that some of the money goes there.
Even if people don't subscribe to the mag, it might bring people to the charity.
Though Unearthed Arcana's content primarily consists of subclasses and spells, WOTC's latest UA drop is set to shake up Dungeons and Dragons' future.
Metacritic is fine, you'll find trolling customer reviews on any site whether it be an Amazon, BestBuy, Walmart, or even on ITunes. Metacritic is just a tool to help consumers make educated purchases or decisions. Personally I like Metacritic, though I always take reviews with a grain of salt (even the good ones), it helps me decide on what to purchase.
I like Metacritic, the professional review part. I like to see an average of what IGN and others have scored. Some sites are way off, click bait, usually doesn't effect an average of near 100 reviewers.
The users scores, useless, less of a review and more of a vote from trolls. May as well have just 2 choices, 0 and 10. Some ppl are honest, but a lot are haters like a lot of the ppl on this site that say they don't like MS but show up on EVERY MS article.
Uh... YES?!? THEY'RE the ones that came up with the option to have random people leave their input with little to no consequence, in an age where the practical internet word of law... is TROLL!!!!
