What an AMAZINGLY stupid idea. Totally stealing it, modifying it and calling it my own.

Or.... Developers could just make good games?

Western devs looking at your post:

 

[Coconutt]

Is this from the same guy who said we should start tipping these game devs for all the hard work they do?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I have another great idea: we can solve inflation by printing money and giving it to people for free!

 

[M1chl]

Dat Inflation hitting like crazy

Are you serious Clark?

OP liked the last Gollum game.

Games that review well quiet often sell well, games that review mediocre and poor sell like crap.

If you are a reviewer, instead of giving a game 7.4, just make up a lie and say the game is a solid 8.3.

That way, lots of people will get to keep their jobs and we get more games. After Covid, game development has not been easy for developers and publishers. Give them a break.

I'll start! I review this thread 11/10!

Games are not scored based on quality, they are based on how diverse/ESG they are.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Here's a suggestion. Stop using bullshit like 8.3 and just say 8. You've already got 10 numbers to choose from, what the fuck does 8.3 even mean.

Law enforcement should refuse to arrest any criminals to make the crime statistics go down.

Oh, wait...

They've already been doing this for decades, except they don't do it for free.

This is actual west coast philosophy

 

[Kazdane]

I had a ton of possibilities on my list for this day, but not such a WILD take...

Well there’s the problem. They’re spending all their money greasing the reviewers, so they don’t have enough to pay their employees. If the reviewers would just give out better scores for free, everything would be solved!

Getting your windows smashed in Portland is considered a right of passage but I digress.

I met my fiancée because both of our cars had our windows smashed. True story. (Though this happened in Baltimore)

 

[ozz ex machina]

That already happens and it has detrimental effects on the industry.

Redfall is an example...

How did positive reviews (how little of them there were) have a detrimental effect on the industry

Looks like PCGamer is already onboard with OP's plan.

How about no.

I'll have a syringe of what OP's had.

Don't they already do this?

Didn't make it sell though

 

[DR3AM]

What does “Live” mean?

 

[Mobilemofo]

I think they should go the other way and absolutely decimate the product, at launch, with humorous put downs and witty/edgy comments, and foul language. Dark humour and sarcasm should also be included.

Perfect example.
