I'm not in as deep in other mediums as video games but just from what I see from movie, music and other mediums reviews are a lack of hate. Reviewers don't get abuse on twitter or sent death threats because they gave something a score of 8.8.
What brought this about was the ign reviews of Doom and Uncharted 4, where the comments on video and the written review were just abhorrent. Filled the usual homophobic slurs and the like. Along with that stupid petition to remove that Washington post review from metacritic, with Troy Baker fueling such idiocy.
Basically, what is it about "gamers" or the gaming community that breeds people acting in this way that's so unlike any other medium? This obsessive with metacritic scores? This need to "protect" brands against criticism?
