Metacritic delays user reviews to ensure players "have time to play" before submitting their opinions
Review aggregate website Metacritic has implemented a 36-hour delay to its user-written video game reviews "to ensure [its] gamers have time to play games before writing their reviews".
Metacritic reportedly confirmed the policy change wasn't implemented because of any one specific game but was instead "based on data-driven research and with the input of critics and industry experts".
"We recently implemented the 36 hour waiting period for all user reviews in our games section to ensure our gamers have time to play these games before writing their reviews," a Metacritic spokesperson told its sister site, Gamespot. "This new waiting period for user reviews has been rolled out across Metacritic's Games section and was based on data-driven research and with the input of critics and industry experts."
