...Reviews have almost always lacked objectivity. Cant kill something that has yet to happen lol. Remember the pros have a conflict of interest and a livelihood to worry about. Further pros scores can be easily doctored by assigning them to a specific person within an organization with known personalities. This is why pro's almost always score big budget stuff higher than the community as a whole. Normal folks are only objective in the same way you are... they have their own idea of how things should be scored and they are not shy to express their bias. If there really was objectivity in the review world, then pro scores would be consistent with the community average... we all know that they are not.

Well if that 44% left im sure there would be a lot less redundancies

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
