How retarded do you have to be to think it makes no difference to Nintendo if the only two games the Switch 2 has right now have 90% on Metacritic instead of 79% with word of mouth being they are "OK" instead of "OH MY GOD LOOK AT THOSE PERFECT SCORES!"

>Occasionally, though, a company may stop sending review codes to a particular outlet if that outlet gives one of their games an unfavorable review. This is more common for smaller outlets because it's a lot less conspicuous and companies can get away with it more easily. Why risk some no-name website lowering your Metacritic score when you could just not send them a code and nobody will notice? I know for a fact that Sony does this. Nintendo might as well. Whether you think that constitutes "paid reviews" is up to you
Yes this obviously is an example of how they buy good reviews. DigitalFoundry got an early copy, uploaded their review, got hundreds of thousands of views and will easily make 10k total just with that video. Play nice, don't be overly critical and you swim in cash.
