I did read what you wrote. I don't know how metacritic solves the problem without proof of ownership like Steam has, but there's a huge disparity between metacritic brigades and people who own the game. Searching for a few of those key words is going to be a quick way to filter for them, generally.

Yeah, the quick way to filter them is a quick way to piss off Metacritic users.

How the fuck can you claim to have read what I wrote?

That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

Oh no, they lost a bunch of people who only joined to troll reviews? What a shame

This is the casually dismissive attitude that got you the next 4 years. You should know how this would go, but you're apparently still in a bubble?
