The other dayI ranted quite sternlyabout how console fanboys were using Metacritic as their stupidest battleground yet, deliberately giving platform exclusives low scores before they’d even launched. It seems that Metacritic has finally gotten fed up, and will now betightening the system, making it a bit harder for these morons to screw around.
People abuse the freedom they’re given, that’s nothing new. So how will Metacritic be fixing this? Firstly, new users will need more than just an email to get a Metacritic account and start voting. In addition, pre-release voting will no longer be acceptable.
Good fixes to come, although of course, usability for legitimate Metacritic users has now been diminished a little. I do hope the fanboys are proud of themselves for that, the pathetic little ticks.
