A reader is disturbed by the controversies around the launch ofI imagine it must be a tense time for video game publishers and developers, on the day of an embargo, waiting forto be released. You spend all that time working on a game, only for some smartass to come along and tell you it’s awful… or amazing.
Of course, reviewers tend to be a lot more polite about it than ordinary gamers, and their user reviews, but despite decades of evidence suggesting that reviews have little or no effect on game sales they’re still treated as something vitally important. I think they’re important. I enjoy reading a good review, as both a buying guide and breakdown of a game by someone that, hopefully, knows what they’re talking about. I’m genuinely excited to see what the scores will be and while my level of investment is nothing compared to the people who made the game, I’m still excited or deflated when I see the final score.
So imagine my confusion, and increasing anger, when I realised what was going on with Starfield. For those of you that missed the controversy,to a select few websites in the UK and, as far as I know, nowhere else. Some Bethesda fans immediately tried to pretend this was some kind of ‘mistake’ even though it was clearly targeted at the website Bethesda knew it had the least chance of influencing.
I’m not sure the full extent of those that were blacklisted but it included Metro, Eurogamer, Edge, and The Guardian. Hilariously, some tried to pretend these were less reliable or untrustworthy sites when in reality one can see that they’re actually the opposite, and frankly anyone included in this list, such as GC, should be proud to be in such company.
