Nah, I honestly don't give a shit what a few people decided to post on Metacrtic
Yeah... I know.
My point really is that it all matters. The score matters and the context behind the score matters. Square Enix are not the only ones seeing and caring about the scores. Consumers are too. It matters whether you like it or not. The academic grading system is ingrained into many minds and when people see that user score of 71%, they're going to see it as something close to below average and not worth their time and investment.
Hell, even that 85 can be seen as average too. This
chart wasn't just made to be funny. There is some truth to it.
And the context of those scores matter too. It allows consumers to read what the product is like from those with actual experience before buying/skipping it. And it allows Square Enix to see what people think about their creation. It's valuable data. It matters. It's market research. It's important information that will help Square Enix create better products in the future.
You basically called mobile gamers "dumb flies".
Yeah cause many of them are attracted to low quality experiences right now. I’ve already explained this. The more games they play, the more experience they will have. Mobile gamers will start to develop a higher standard and start spending their money more wisely. They haven’t yet because the mobile market is still pretty young and there is much to learn and explore.
There have been signs of things starting to settle down though and you're starting to see a little bit more effort put into these titles too like Mobius for example, which doesn't really come off as a cheap cash-in.
