Its a really good game, but metacritic won’t do the smart thing and just remove any review where the main complaint is “woke” “pronouns” or “DEI”
in the way that I’m enjoying my time with it a lot and will be sad when it’s over. idk I’m not a reviewer, I just know what makes me happy.
Is that really the smart thing?
I’m fairly confident that would be about as good for them as shooting themselves in the foot.
You have to realize what world you’re living in. These people and their agreeing friends aren’t just a loud minority, just yesterday they demonstrated something that really should have informed your worldview more than it seems to have, given what you suggest here. That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.
To an extent I agree with them, in that they ruined the tone of the game, but unlike these reviewers I personally think developers are allowed to make standalone slop. It doesn’t ruin anything I’ve bought from them before.
Finally by all reasonable accounts it absolutely is a woke, pronoun-conscious, DEI focused game. Those words wouldn’t even really be out of place if one showed up in a positive review.
You have to learn to think before you make yourself more unpopular.
What good do a lot of user ratings do anyone if it’s just brigaded by people who haven’t played the game and were told to be upset about it by some influencer who has far more of a political agenda than the thing they’re upset about?
