Why are western games journos terrified of the rise of eastern games?
>>736567851There's just something disconcerting about Chinese and Korean games.
>>736567892I'd agree with this, and it's not a recent thing. You can go back to the early days of Nexon and still has that same feeling. No matter how shiny the surface is, there's just something soulless about it unless you have a very particular kind of autism.
>>736567892They all have the same insincere feeling. They're like HIRE THIS MAN games, but not made as a joke.
>>736567851IGN gave Elden Ring a 10/10. Sometimes they get the score right. With Crimson Desert, this is one of those times.
They aren't. Sony and Nintendo have dominated the industry for decades. Many /v/tards believe there is a Nintendo bias even.Stop caring about journalists so much, they're subhuman retards regardless.
Crimson desert is the first gen 9 game experience
>>736567851how is this a 6? seriously these guys hand out 8s and 9s like candy
>>736567851Do we really need to pretend this game is good just so we can disagree with ign?
>>736567851Crimson Desert is unironically too soulless to be anything higher than a 7/10
>>736568284If IGN rates it a 6 it's actually like a 2-3
>>736568284We have to pretend it's Hyperborean to own...somebody
Western 'artists' won't be able to keep up, and they will take their journo parasites with them when they go out
This feels like an "own the libs" kind of game to me. I don't see what you enjoy about this game. It's not very good.
>>736568284I fucking regret buying this POS.
What rise? Gooks and chinks just keep shitting out generic unreal engine garbage ripping off foreign products then them & their simps constantly demand praise and validation for their amateur garbage. Sorry if this hurts your feelings or whatever, but China and South korea are the worst parts of this region of the world in many aspects - culture, entertainment, impact on the world, reputation and respect. Thankfully Japan and Taiwan balance it out by being decent while North Korea can always do us the favour by finally genociding their america-worshipping inferior clones.
>>736567851no trannies?nooooodeduct points! deduct them!
If this place was like old 4chan, moot was already doxxed and probably killed like 10 years ago. Yet we dont even know if he's alive or not. Shameful.
>>736568450Don't forget to leave the negative review. Korean "patriots" have been spamming it with fake reviews to save face. It's their usual astroturfing behavior.
>>736568449The love for it on /v/ is almost entirely contrarian in natureIGN is bad so anything they don't like must be good, therefore CD is good
>>736568265Check didn't get delivered, palms weren't greased. You don't hate journos enough.
>>736568470>but China and South korea are the worst parts of this region of the world in many aspects - culture, entertainment, impact on the world, reputation and respect.Are you implying America is a place of culture and worthy of respect? lol
>>736568704>Post says China & Korea bad, Japan and China(real) good>Reply with MUH AMERICANS MUH AMERICANS MUH AMERICANS
>>736567892Korean/Chinese games usually come in two flavors: 'generic and soulless as fuck' or 'trying to copy/steal as much as they can from an existing IP without getting sued'.
>>736568449Considering the state of Korea's utterly psychotic gender wars, it makes sense their gaming companies hardcore pander to incels, which is why their games tend to get so much attention from reactionaries in the west.
CD is a solid 7.5
>>736568602I usually never bother, but I left a negative review and then hide the game in my Steam library.Never buying Korean shit again.
Will buying Crimson Desert help save the white race?
>>736568704South Korea definitely thinks that way, yes. You should check how they portray Americans and the USA in their media compared to Japan. Lol.
>>736569159Yes the mc kliff mcduff will personally explode all brown people in a silent but autistic fashion
They do not understand gameplay.
>>736569606batman did this shit 15 years ago, who cares
>>736569606Imagine when you figure out you can combo that seamlessly
>>736569606EhYour first game with grabs?
>>736569159if it is then whitey is doomed
>>736568450I don't.
>>736567851chinks and gooks do not acknowledge their existencethere is no fear, no bowing down, no ass kissing, no gifts, no bribes, no respect, nothingthis kind of behavior from asians terrifies them on basic animal instinct levelchinese and koreans are not domesticated like japanese
>>736567851They have no contacts in that section of the industry and little sway with the audience there.
>>736568602Every single site, specifically Steam, says that Koreans and Chinese hate it the most, though. Looks like the game peaks at US evenings and hits it's lows during Asian prime time.Why would the reality that anyone can confirm in 2 seconds be dramatically different than what you believe? What causes that?
>>736569159No, but it will make things a little less gay.
>>736569782Yeah, instead Chinks start shitting themselves and threatening to have a huge meltdown when they feel like their feelings are being threatened while Koreans suck off their superiors and their female overlords.
>>736569628If you don't what you're talking about, why do you even try?I hate retards.
>>736570072show me the inputs used for this sequence
>>736567851hmm I wonder
>>736569947you're replying to an actual AAA shill trying to well poison nigga
>>736570150Why don't you play and find out yourself? Protip: it isn't (mash) Square.
>>736570072>F + right click>F + right click>hold F for a second>F+ left click>sprint towards enemy>F+ right click>F+ right click
>>736570251Well i'm not spending $70 or $80 or whatever on this gookslop so i'm taking your lack of an answer as a concession.
>>736570358Such deep and nuanced combat, I am in awe right now.
>>736567851Is this game actually good? I absolutely hate most overly flashy koreaslop but I've seen some cool webms of CD
>>736567851They don't get the usual bribe so the score is actually accurate.
>>736570470play it and find out
>>736570364Concession?Fucking lmao
>>736570470I'd wait for a proper crack or a sub $30 sale. Or just play DDDA, it's a better game than this..
We have the video game at home : the video game
>>736567851i don't get it, is IGN reviewing games from an art perspective or from an entertainment perspective?
>>736570679Neither. It is ideologic circle jerk.
>>736567892They just feel very soulless and mass-produced. Nothing feels like it was the passion of one guy, instead it just all feels like 100 chinks made random pieces and stuck it together.It's like how you can tell a western game made heavy use of outsoucing.
>>736570728As opposed to the audience which is definitely not ideology driven
>>736570679clearly art, and by art i mean how much the world fits their negrophilic politics. there's a reason saarfield got a 9/10
>>736570061if you are from eu or usa you say this cause you are envious and afraidchinks are nationalistic and will dogpile you for their country, for their folklore, their culture, anything, if you talk shit about itmeanwhile you, if you say you love your homeland, you people, your history, you are told you are racist and nazi, thanks to kikes and your sellout government that is something you lost, and chose not to fight forand koreans have their own shit fiesta after ww2, and males there do not tolerate disrespect towards them, especially from women, so they cancel even a remote attempt at it being injected into the products they consume, once again unlike yourself
>lovedKingdom under fireBlade n Soul>likedArcheageMaplestoryVindictusSo i can safely say. on how clunky the game feels and not because im biases against the east, CD is a 6
>>736570798Most audiences don't care. They just want to chill.What is happening is reactionary, which isn't a bad thing.It's counterculture because the ideology has effectively become the culture.
>>736567892I also agree with this post. As fun as crimson desert is, there no artistic style to it. Its just fantasy realism
>>736567851They're willing to give crimson desert a low score now but are supposedly willing to "update" it...but MARATHON they et it go unreviewed FOR A MONTH when it was objectively worse... and then give it a NINE out of TEN!?Where are the ethics in gaming journalism?
>>736570798correct the audience doesn't give a shit about political narratives from obese nigger women in california. they want escapism
>>736570874lol are rightoids still pretending they're counterculture? what a joke>>736570920escapism is a political narrative too btw
>>736570891Went out the window when you could gain access with your pussy.Don't let women into your boy's club.
>>736570798Calling someone retarded for being bad at their job isn't ideology driven. No other industry but games media would have an employee halfass their job, pick fights online with customers and get caught openly saying in private slack channels that they're never giving asian games a good score, and STILL be able to represent the company.
>>736570470Yes. I wish I could say that I’m blasting, but it’s a slow burn. It’s the best game at being a chivalrous knight simulator that I’ve played since KCD1. It has a great world to explore, and the npcs are quaint in a way that makes you feel good for helping them, like giving a downy a free Burger King coupon.
>>736570834I'm sorry that your feelings got hurt Chang. At any rate deepthroating your goverment's dong is not admirable.
>>736570968>escaping clownworld politics to chill is politics toobrilliant. we can't get left-wing ideologues out of our hobbies fast enough
>>736570968>pretendingNo need. It just is.
Combat - Can be complex, but utterly meaningless to dig into. Most encounters you can hold R1 and win. Exploration - Fun, exciting, and totally unrewarding. Everything is a puzzle. Every puzzle rewards you with something entirely meaningless and unexciting, to the point where you stop really caring. Woah, spend 25 minutes rotating bricks around for another meaningless skill point and a piece of gear that is nearly identical to all the other ones? Riveting. Story - It's terrible, boring, and takes often times incomprehensible. World - Not very interesting. The lore kinda just sucks, the world feels stapled together most of the time, and diving into things like books, notes, and dialogue doesn't make you feel like you're immersed in a cool world. Put it down after 100 hours, although I'd be interested in a DLC if it introduced a new land mass to explore.Thanks for reading my review, I'll be expecting my check in the mail
>>736571095if you live in any civilization in the world then you are affected by politics thus seeking to "escape" it is in fact a political decision, yesi know this is hard to grasp for some people (retards)
>>736567851>offline MMO>with all the hot girls said MMO is known for removed>jeet/v/ is gaslit into thinking its the new bastion of anti woke gamesIt's amazing how the average IQ of the internet continues to plummit.
>>736567851Other than nintendo(who occupies the position of something like an elder god in gaming,) the AAA space was largely taken over by western companies. Even companies like squeenix and bamco were still looked down on by journo types like "aw, those cute little japanese companies thinking they're ready for big boy pants when we've got big booming cinema orchestra gregorian defecation chanting over here."Now that those same western AAAs are shitting the bed right and left thanks to everyone rejecting their trash, they know since the market's hungry for something else, there's a very real chance asian companies can become ascendant and push them out.They also know that while they've had some success pushing their DEI bullshit into jap companies, the chinese don't give a fuck. Their own government is so hostile to canadian values, that they'll never let these little monsters in. The idea of companies that don't give a fuck about "The Message" completely taking over, scares the shit out of them.
>>736571230kek keep repeating that people who just want to play games for escapism are your enemies. PLEASE do it faggotspam it with your bots all over plebbit and twitter
>>736570834>their cultureTheir entire culture got banned except for Journey to the West.
>>736571356the guys who "just want to escape clownworld politics bro" all voted for a morbidly obese senile pedophile who's about to end the world in nuclear hellfire so yeah i will gladly consider them to be the enemies of humankind
>>736570679They do a vibe check. If a game has a good vibe it gets a good score, if it has a bad vibe it gets a bad score.A technically good game can have a bad vibe so they lower the score.But if a good vibe game is technically a bit shakey they often give it a pass.Basically they're reviewing games as if they're movies. The expectation is that it should entertain you by the same metrics a movie would. Production values, showmanship, etc..That's why games that are clearly made for autismos don't score well or simply don't "wow" them
>>736570061You are late to the party. Koreans kicked Megalia out.
>>736571462put your money where you mouth is then pussy. get your AAA bots to shit on the average normie gamer for being evil. bet you won't punk bitch
>>736570852>Blade n Soul higher than VindictusBiggest of oofs.
>>736567892I agree with this.Finally done with my post quota.
>>736568051>They're like HIRE THIS MAN gamesJust like this is the reddit of posters
>>736567892But not Japanese?
>>736571462Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>736571462If leftists didn't go overboard with forcing their politics into everything then nobody would have voted for him.
>>736567892Not enough homos for you?>>736567851The root of it is their unwillingness to self-reflect. They think it'll cause shit like picrel. But they got it wrong-way around: shit like picrel is causing western gamers to turn to eastern devs.
>>736567851>requires a day 1 patch before you are allowed to play a single player gameIt deserves an instant 1/10 score for that faggotry.
>>736567851This game is good for no lifers who think 500+ hours of retarded bullshit is quality. Intelligent people realize it's shit. And late reviewers are just agreeing with the NEET nerd consensus. >>736568904>Korea's utterly psychotic gender warsQrd?
>>736568930My issue is not so much as CD's 6, but whats a 7/8/9 for them in comparison. You don't have to like CD, but anyone that says Highguard or fucking Concord are better is simply lying.
>>736572125Isnt that crimson desert though
>>736567851They don’t hire pozzed consultants
>>736571230I am not obligated to care about your pet projects. If you push me to again, I'll support your opponents again.Simple as that.
>>736570679They review games based on if they want to support a game or not.Here is an IGN reviewer explaining her reasoning behind giving Stormgate a good score
>>736571462Wonder what made them do so...
>>736571895You would know what reddit posts are like.
>>736572032and here i thought saying "billions must die" in response to seeing a trans woman in a video game you didn't play was just a joke and not in fact a serious foundational belief you hold
IGN, discord troons, and jannies all fear the might of Eastern Video Games
>>736567851Lack of western values.
Wukong mogs any game that came out in the last ten or twenty years it's not even funny
>>736571462>the guys who "just want to escape clownworld politics bro" all voted for Trump so they became my enemyStop lying faggot, that came AFTER you attacked us, as a RESPONSE. We are an enemy you picked and chose so stop bitching - you asked for this.
>>736571462They consider you and your comrades the enemies of humankind, too! It's going to be genocide, and everyone's invited!
>>736572865Not sure if you're shitposting or not but I mostly agree. Only "big and important game" I've missed out on in the last decade was BG3. Otherwise Wukong stomped the competition.
>>736571303>They also know that while they've had some success pushing their DEI bullshit into jap companiesThey really weren't to be honest. They tried during the 2010s and it only worked because Microsoft and Sony moved to the US and in order to get their games published, they had to play by America's puritanical rules. Now that Steam lowered the barrier of entry and most Japanese people have a PC, they don't bother with that anymore and while they still release for Sony and Microsoft, they focus their efforts mostly on PC since Gabe is rather reasonable about censorship, only really bothering with it if it involves actual legal reasons for doing so.The decade of Japanese censorship was just a result of american gaming hegemony and now that's slipping away as Sony of America will soon be relegated to subservience to the head Japanese branch and Microsoft becomes increasingly irrelevant.
>>736573015your understanding of culture only extends 10 years into the past because you are a child
>look through thread>praise is mostly unrelated to the actual game
>>736567851Because they can't influence those developers
>>736567851Lazy retards HATE competition.If you ever want to find out who is useless in a company, see who doesn't want to work on commission. :)

>>736567851I really don't get what the problem is.>JournalismWhat does that even mean? These are advertising companies. They exist solely to make money. They advertise games and the more money you pay them the more your game gets advertised. Do they need to change the scoring system to (we got paid):>$(1)0,000>$(2)0,000>$(3)0,000for it to sink in more? These people don't care about video games and don't play them. They are doing a job and the point of their job is to make money.There's no such thing as >integrity or>reputationbecause it's 100% irrelevant to their continued existence. You don't need to like or even agree with their reviews, it's simply an extra sticker on the box.
>>736569947kek they're trying way too hard to push a narrative
>>736571462If you won't let people have fun with their escapism then they will just have fun watching the world end instead.
>>736567851Crimson Desert is the Red Dead Redemption of Korea
>>736575592are you retarded? they are selling themselves as objective reviewers to consumers trying to make informed decisions. how is that not a problem?
This game is a knockoff of Breath of the Wild, without the love and care and soul.
>>736570968>everything is political!Commie golem
>>736571230Commie golem
>>736575970>they are selling themselves as objective reviewers to consumers trying to make informed decisionsYes, just like every business on the planet.>how is that not a problem?People should be educated by their parents to not listen to businesses which journalists are a part of. Again, they are advertising companies. They advertise whoever sponsors them.
>>736576813Again, are you retarded? If they're just ad companies, why do they present ads as reviews? That's the core problem which you're trying to deflect>i-its y-your fault!No. If reviewers present themselves as objective then they're expected to act in good faith
>>736567892>disconcerting Being video games before political mouthpieces will do that when you're used to propaganda>>736571949The big Japanese companies all dance to the west's tune. Chinks and gooks haven't fallen yet. That's why they seethe so hard about their games
>>736570761What other games have you played that felt that way other than Crimson Desert?
>>736577075It's cute that you think that. Bet you're an easy mark.
>>736577075>That's the core problem which you're trying to deflectI'm not, you're just interpreting that way. You said>they are selling themselves as objective reviewers to consumers trying to make informed decisionsThat is every company selling a product ever. If a company is selling you soap, if it's not the best product on the market, do you think they'll tell you that?>why do they present ads as reviewsEvery company presents what they say as objective truth. They are selling you a product, of course they claim to know what they are talking about. >No. If reviewers present themselves as objective then they're expected to act in good faithYou come off like>picLike yeah, no shit what they are doing is bad but have common sense. They are a business. Go outside with a picket sign and tell people >guys corporations are actually bad and not to be trusted! I know they told us that they aren't but actually, I figured it out! They just want money!

>>736577779To be fair, if he thinks someone calling themselves a>journalistimplies objectivity, I'm willing to believe he'd also think only a single person on the planet could disagree with him.
>>736577075>why do they present ads as reviews?Have you not noticed the effort advertisers put in to make their ads look like anything but? There's a natural revulsion to a kike trying to sell you something so they have to be sneaky about it>If reviewers present themselves as objective then they're expected to act in good faithThis is a very naive view. Yes, you're right, but we live in a disgusting world with no morals or principles. It SHOULD be how you're describing but it isn't and it likely never will be
>>736577728kek you're STILL trying to dodge the distinction between ads and reviews because your worldview is so basic and lacks any nuance. ads have expected bias. reviews have expected neutrality. there's a reason why these "journalist" sites care about reviews. it's because perceived integrity has value and can result in long term traffic = moneyjust saying "it's bad but you should expect it" is retarded input. the problem still remains a problem. why don't you want people to identify this problem and call it out?>>736577779>>736577795you're both on the same brainlet wavelength so it's hard to tell on an anonymous forum. not my fault.
>>7365678516 is awfully generous for a single player mmo
>>736578084>you're STILL trying to dodge the distinction between ads and reviews because your worldview is so basic and lacks any nuanceI'm not, I'm telling you that the theoretical distinction between them does not apply when both ads and reviews are done by businesses which share the common goal of making money.>there's a reason why these "journalist" sites care about reviews. it's because perceived integrity has value and can result in long term traffic = moneyI already addressed this when I said>There's no such thing as>integrityor>reputationbecause it's 100% irrelevant to their continued existence. You don't need to like or even agree with their reviews, it's simply an extra sticker on the box.IGN has been getting shit on for over twenty years. These very threads serve as advertising for them and by extension the games that they market. They also exist simply as a number to slap on a game box. At the end of the day, no matter how much people say>IGN is shitand, even where that's true, it does not matter because they remain relevant and their number gets posted all over the Internet time after time.>just saying "it's bad but you should expect it" is retarded input. the problem still remains a problem. why don't you want people to identify this problem and call it out?I'm asking why people like (you) act as if, in practice, "journalism" isn't just advertising with a fancy name. It's advertising. They are a business and they only care about money. You're just conflating >these are companies and companies are not interested in objectivitywith>but they are calling themselves journalists and that means objectivityThe world doesn't work like that which is why you're getting drive-by posts calling you a naive retard.
>>736578156a what?
>>736578053I don't think it's naive, more reasonable. defeatist language doesn't add anything>>736578289>there's no such thing as integrity or reputationIf reputation didn't matter then no one would care who reviews something and all websites and content creators would be interchangeable. the very fact that you mentioned IGN proves you wrong. brand matters and can rise or fall based on factors like trust which correlates to audience retention. IGN being criticized actually proves that people DO care about credibility for reviews. If reputation didn't exist or didn't matter then nobody would complain about IGN.and again, ads and reviews are not the same. the distinction still exists.>i'm asking whyYou're just spouting nihilist viewpoints that ultimately add nothing to the thread. the problem remains a problem.>anyone who understands standards and expects them = naiveno it's just exposing how stupid the average drive-by poster is on this board
>>736578859>If reputation didn't matter then no one would care who reviews something and all websites and content creators would be interchangeable. the very fact that you mentioned IGN proves you wrong. brand matters and can rise or fall based on factors like trust which correlates to audience retention. IGN being criticized actually proves that people DO care about credibility for reviews. If reputation didn't exist or didn't matter then nobody would complain about IGN.So are you saying that if IGN was staffed only by people who really knew video games and gave video games objective and accurate scores, giving Concord a 1/10, Veilguard a 1/10, not rating Starfield or Elden Ring or Nintendo games as highly and just generally not giving AAA games as high marks, do you believe they would be doing better financially?Do you think they receive as many benefits as they obviously do from these AAA companies?>You're just spouting nihilist viewpoints that ultimately add nothing to the thread. the problem remains a problem.Once again, that's how you're interpreting it. The same way you interpret multiple people as being one person.>no it's just exposing how stupid the average drive-by poster is on this boardAt the end of the day, you're free to call everyone but yourself stupid and live in your head. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm just stating publicly, as many people already know, that businesses that engage in "journalism" are businesses and obviously only care about money. Review scores do not reflect quality and are calculated solely based on what number will ultimately result in them getting the most money, continued sponsors from the most lucrative bunch, etc.
>>736579181>Review scores do not reflect quality and are calculated solely based on what number will ultimately result in them getting the most money, continued sponsors from the most lucrative bunch, etc.Okay, then explain why every AAA game doesn't get identical scores. Explain why there's variation between review sites and why negative reviews of AAA games exist. You can't explain this without graduating beyond im14andthisisdeep "hurr reviews are just ads!" way of thinking. And I like how you ignored my point about long term trust being valuable for review sites and brought up relationships with publishers instead. FYI both can exist and matter in a complex worldview :)
Why am i supposed to think this isn't fucking dogshit generic open world slop because it isn't made by Ubisoft?
>>736579641>Okay, then explain why every AAA game doesn't get identical scores. Explain why there's variation between review sites and why negative reviews of AAA games exist.I did. I said> based on what number will ultimately result in them getting the most money, continued sponsors from the most lucrative bunch, etc.If they gave all games a 10/10, they wouldn't get as much money from the companies that pay more when they get rated highly, since there would be less of a distinction. There's still a reason why we make fun of review sites operating on a >anything less than a 7 is shitand>8.8>You can't explain this without graduating beyond im14andthisisdeep "hurr reviews are just ads!" way of thinking.You're projecting your anger on me and inventing a fantasy version of me in your head assuming I think I'm posting anything special despite repeatedly saying>many people already know>you're getting drive-by posts calling you a naive retard.I'm not saying anything deep or enlightening. The opposite. I'm asking why there are a few people, like you, acting like this isn't how journalism works in the real world.>And I like how you ignored my point about long term trust being valuable for review sites and brought up relationships with publishers instead. FYI both can exist and matter in a complex worldview :)I didn't. In fact, my post directly started with confronting this point by asking:>So are you saying that if IGN was staffed only by people who really knew video games and gave video games objective and accurate scores (...)I'm really not sure what's wrong with you. It's like you're not even reading my posts anymore. I'm directly addressing your posts while your own are getting more deranged and desperate. Why did you even respond to me in the first place if you didn't want to genuinely discuss this? I already said I don't care about convincing you of anything.
>>736579996You're not. I don't want you to play this game. It's only for me. You're denied. I want you to not like this game. I don't hate you, you're just not allowed in. Consider yourself gatekept. Go play Resident Evil, bro. Have a good time somewhere else.
>>736580197>If they gave all games a 10/10, they wouldn't get as much money from the companies that pay more when they get rated highly, since there would be less of a distinction.So you're saying critics need variation in their scores to maximize profit. But here's the thing. That only matters if people actually trust the scores aka reputation. Which you said "doesn't matter" ;)The rest of your post is just nonsense padding hiding your frustration
>>736580706>That only matters if people actually trust the scores aka reputationDid you read what I posted?>they wouldn't get as much money from the companies that pay more when they get rated highly, since there would be less of a distinction.It's the companies, both the developers and other media outlets, that decide the importance of that, not actually the common person. This loops back to the question I originally asked you and wasn't answered. See:> So are you saying that if IGN was staffed only by people who really knew video games and gave video games objective and accurate scores, giving Concord a 1/10, Veilguard a 1/10, not rating Starfield or Elden Ring or Nintendo games as highly and just generally not giving AAA games as high marks, do you believe they would be doing better financially?What trust you think gaming journalists have now and how that affects how much money their companies make hasn't actually been explained by you.>The rest of your post is just nonsense padding hiding your frustrationSee:>You're projecting your anger on me and inventing a fantasy version of me in your head assuming I think I'm posting anything special
>>736580921>It's the companies, both the developers and other media outlets, that decide the importance of thatAaand now you've trapped yourself with another contradiction. You just said that money only comes from publishers, not the common person. But, what exactly are critics selling to these publishers? Answer: audience attention. And, what determines if an audience pays attention to these review scores? Trust, credibility, REPUTATION, INTEGRITY. All things you said "don't exist" or "don't matter". So even in your unproven midwit model, companies pay critics for good review scores for exposure, but that exposure only matters if the consumers trust and care about it.>I originally asked you and wasn't answeredI don't have to answer such a low IQ hypothetical. Your entire nihilist worldview is all-or-nothing. Money is an important factor but not the only one. Objectivity does not always correlate to lower scores. Review site credibility, publisher exclusive access, and audience trust are all factors that interact with each other.

The same way you interpret multiple people as being one person.Since we've reached the point where you've abandoned any pretense of this not being an emotional fixation and are explicitly saying>I don't need to address your argumentsI'll just refer you to my earlier posts when you inevitably respond.
>>736581787You didn't answer anything. You're just pointing to earlier posts that have already been refuted.>I'll just refer you to my earlier posts when you inevitably respond.aka declaring the discussion is over while still replyingClassic "exit while saving face" strategy ;)

They don't get special privileges with gooks and chinks and they can't browbeat them into putting ugly women, trannies, faggots and niggers into all their games either.
