Been reading about this: publishers going lengths to manipulate review scores. Scary
I kind of already knew this was happening, but came across this article which explains it in detail: So this is how big publishers like Rockstar Games manipulate their review scores. The studio's bonuses are also judged by the overall score on Metacritic. An interesting read: Link- sa_ill
