So instead of weathering truly atrocious products, gamers have enjoyed a solid decade filled with legions of derivative, but functional, releases.Įnemy Front doesn't even fall in that category. Programmers and designers are smarter and more brazen when it comes to borrowing mechanics and concepts from the competition. News and long-form features are more profitable pursuits for developers and PR firms to chase and more and more websites focus exclusively on this, either dropping features entirely or relying more on interviews and previews.Īnother, and more influential, factor is that games simply aren't as bad as they used to be. Major websites are often targeted, with commentators reasoning that disappointing releases receiving, say, a 6 or a 7 out of 10 would often be awarded a 3 or a 4 if writers weren't getting paid under the table.
Fans of gaming forums will be no stranger to the conspiracy that refuses to die: the idea that reviews, are bought and paid for.
