Want to really feel old? In just a little over two years from now, the Xbox 360 will be 20 years old.

Honestly, most “professional” game reviews are made by average joe gamers who happen to have a platform to broadcast their thoughts. Most of these writers are not expert players nor are they always well versed in the genre of the game they’re reviewing.

I never understand why people put so much stock into them when their opinions are no more valid than any random person on the internet.

FYI, this isn’t exactly news, it’s been publicly announced over a year and a half ago. I’m not a fan of what Reddit’s doing either, but after reading this comment section I feel like this needs to be put into perspective a bit.
