Lightning Strikes 07/18/20 11:27:46 AM #11:	Its obviously not going to solve the issue but it might help, because outrage is difficult to sustain. But the only way to really stop it is to screen reviews and require confirmed ownership, just like Rotten Tomatoes for movies. Of course there they now have a different issue, which is that the early reviews get biased positively because the people getting out there on opening night are the most likely to say they love something. So I guess you need to layer something like this on top of that. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc <cite>Lightning Strikes posted [p:942268714] in Metacritic...
