Forum Overview :: Pariah :: Tom had a pretty good protection racket going with Metacritic scores for a while

[quote name="Mysterio"]At first I thought the low scores were clickbait for Qt3. They probably were, but then he said he would be recusing himself from reviewing Crysis 3, because Crytek paid him to do a mock review. Then suddenly it all made sense. You don't pay Tom to give you a good review, you pay him to NOT give you a bad review, then throw the notes he gives about your beta in the trash. At least until PR wised up and stopped sending him review codes. Now if there's even a Qt3 review, it'll come a week or more after release, and the damage will be limited. [/quote]
